They can move up if they want to, but they don't need to and shouldn't have to. Fighters should not be
expected to move up in weight to please somebody who can't move down. You can say they're ducking all you want, but if you were in their shoes or if you were a pro MMA fighter at all, you'd actually understand why most fighters don't just move up in weight simply because somebody else can't move down or some shit. This isn't boxing, where a weight class is just a couple pounds in difference, MMA weight classes are separated by 10 lbs, and Cyborg would have a huge advantage over everybody moving up from BW to fight her.
Cyborg
can make 135, she just needs to put in the work to do it. It will take a good while for her to make 135, but if she can switch up her diet, training, more effective ways of cutting weight without killing herself, having to lose a bit of muscle, etc, it's possible for her to make 135. She won't be able to just cut the weight right now, she needs to make some changes in her life first and it will take awhile. It'd be worth it, too, because then she'd be able to fight whoever the fuck she wants instead of expecting everybody to move up to fight her at 145 and all that. Things aren't going to work out for her if she just sits back and complains about how nobody is willing to move up to fight her.
When a fighter moves up or down in weight, they need to think about if it's even a good career/business move, they don't just move up because they feel like it, that's very rare in MMA. Most fighters will move up or down because either the weight cut is too difficult, or their opponents are simply too large or they're just not having success at what ever weight class they're in. What Conor McGregor is doing is very, very rare in this sport, just because he's willing to move up and fight literally anybody, doesn't mean everybody should be expected to do it.
It's easy for you to sit there and say all that garbage about everybody ducking Cyborg, but you don't fight for a living. This is their way of making a living, this is their career - you can't just expect them to move up in weight simply because somebody else can't move down and because you think bawling your fucking face off about it and being all "lolz he/she is ducking!!" and all that. The fact so many people just can't understand things like this is fucking incredible to me. If you were a fighter, you wouldn't just jump up in weight, either, and don't say you would because that's a fucking lie.
If you (or anybody here) was a very well known fighter in the UFC, whether you just be a top guy/former champion and such, you wouldn't just jump up in weight without putting any actual thought into it. Moving up in weight in MMA is a whole different thing than it is in boxing. You need to make the proper career/business choices.
For real, how many times have we seen somebody move up in weight to fight somebody bigger and they (the fighter who moved up) got fucking demolished? Look at Murilo's fight against Kharitonov, moving up in weight can be very fucking bad for your career and your health, it takes time to make that decision. Not everybody is Conor McGregor, people, not everybody will move up and fight basically everybody, that shit is fucking rare in this sport.
Use your fucking heads. There's no excuse for this kind of stupidity. The fact so many people can't understand things like this (why so many fighters "duck" larger opponents or whatever your dumbass wants to call it) is just amazing, the fact so many MMA fans are THIS dumb is amazing, it truly is.
