You have thoughts on Cyborg?
j/k
All negative. When you have to cheat to beat up smaller women, that says everything about not only your character, but your confidence in your abilities.

Thoughts? I'm not sure how i feel about it, i think i'd prefer to see them headlining a UFN card, making it 5 rounds as i think most T/E should be.
UFC 224 seems unlikely and very inappropriated, considering is a title eliminator. Should be in 3 or 4 months and headlining a card, maybe a UFN in Brazil.I'd like to see it. Not sure how long it may take Vieira's rib injury to heal.
Although I generally prefer Women's fights at 125 & 135.. if we are talking GOAT, and P4P stuff (which I think is idiotic anyway) it's asinine to ignore that women at 115 pounds and under have always been more skilled fighters, they just didn't have the spotlight bigger women did.Very skewed towards bantamweight. Cyborg is laughable. So is Shevchenko and, unfortunately, Holm at this point.
I always have assumed Cyborg isn't the brightest bulb in the box, and that her confidence and character is molded by those closest to her. Ray Elbe could tell her about anything and she'd believe it.

She often complains about the lack of a division for herself, but I believe she is partially responsible for stunting its growth at times.

In their defense, no one in their division is really active besides spencer and Sorensen. The latter seems to be focused on getting to 135 too. Spencer might as well too!I know that other than Felicia Spencer Invicta has not
sunk a lot of time in to the featherweight division as of
recent.
If you go by tapology, 6 out of 15 have fights at 135.If you look even now there are just not that many 145 lbs. fighters. I am too lazy to read for myself right now, but I bet still quite a few of the top 15 have fights at 135, which means they are small for the division.

4.Holly holm - obviously has fought at 135, however has said she wants to stay at 145
5. Germaine De Randamie
9. Arlene Blencowe- Tiny for the division. Only fights at 145 because Bellator doesn’t have 135
10; Gabrielle Holloway- hasn’t made 135 since she was an Amateur, but is 5’3 and made 130 for an ammy fight onc
12; Ediane Gomes- has fought at 135 twice. She lost both times and then went back up.
13.Daria Imbragimova- has fought at 135 once. Was signed to invicta at 135 before being offered to fight cyborg
Results from this past weekend - as usual awaiting a result or two from Brazil and some amateurs

Interesting opinion piece... some valid points were made, but outside of 5 round main events, the author didn't suggest an alternative to eliminating title fights.
