anyone else disappointed by cyborg signing?

[Watermelonfresh]

anyone disappointed? they have to make special fights for her at 140 and she has history of ped abuse.

 

[Mangar]

Happy to see it, disappointed it's catch weight.

cyborg has been signed to Zuffa for a year or 2 already.

 

[City_Lights]

They have multiple people that have been caught as much or more times than her with PEDs. They signed Barnett back for example and still let Vitor fight.

 

[LiLoMMA]

I like it. If Smith gets a fan boost for taking that thing on then more power to her. But I won't be cheering for Cyborg, even tho she may even sort of deserve it because of how it all turned out.

Seriously, if Cyborg looks great, what is her next fight? Another 135 cast off looking for a payday? If she can't make 135, she can't actually fight anybody that matters.

They signed her over a year ago. Would you like to bitch about Bruce Jenner as well?

 

[chunglii]

Disappointed in the match making

I'm aware she's signed with Zuffa previously. you make a great point , I'd like to bitch about Bruce too...or Caitlin or whatever his name is


so yes

 

[Metheus]

Meh, I'll be shocked if she even makes her catchweight. Zuffa has given her so many chances to get on board and moved the goalposts to make it easier every time and she's managed to drop the ball. She wouldnt even be doing this if Zuffa didnt threaten to cut her supplemental income if she didnt get to 135. So she gets a one-off at 140, what then? Just silly and shows how much of a circus sideshow the UFC has become over the years, starting with the James Toney fight.

 

[SocraticMethod]

If she can't (or won't) make 135 then I just don't care about her in the UFC. She's the female equivalent of the best SHW in the world.

I bet Tito is disappointed.

 

[Grenz]

How many other fighters are currently under contract, but failed a test in the past? Many enough for that not to be a point of contention. There are guys on their third chance, not even their second.

 

[t00br00tal]

Not as much as I hate the fact that your account doesn't even have to be a month old to make a thread.

 

[BruceLeeOnTRT]

UFC, known for having top MMA talent, signed one of the best female fighters in the world. Why would you be upset about that? She's been passing tests and it'll only get harder for her in the UFC.

Just enjoy the fights man.

 

[Ceez]

No it's great for the womens division. SHe will be a draw

 

[Marianne]

I'm shocked on how fast they changed their "You're not fighting unless it's on Rousey's terms" narrative to "we'll give you a cherry picked opponent in your hometown and at a nonexistent weight class if you come and fight for us". I guess Dana needs to find someone to fit his invincible woman story asap.

 

[lostdog000]

cyborg vs fallon fox is the only cyborg matchup i want

 

[lenbiasgoat]

Hilarious cyborg was on ped and people have a fit but yet wanna watch Anderson chael ect..

 

[Fight Professor]

Is that a fact that Cyborg is going to fight at 140 lbs? That would be very strange.
