Beat the shit outta her right there. Nice win for Cyborg

 

[BFoe]

Cyborg def looked better in those rounds than I thought she would. Good win.

First to do it eh?

 

[egk]

and to think budd started off as a striker. lmao

She honestly didn't look like she could crush a grape with any of her strikes.. She normally wins by attrition and that wasn't going to happen against Cyborg

 

[robbyp]

Julia is tough but my god, she had no idea what she was doing in there. She came in either with zero gameplan or she abandoned it after the first rd and decided to just be a standing statue.

 

[Pakman]

that was sort of Chuck vs Tito'esque.

 

[Guffman]

Budd fought scared and lost her belt.

I don't think she's that skilled, really. Chris should beat her 10 times out of 10.

 

[AGEZ909]

Borg is a monster.

 

[Alphaboy]

idk man, Valentina is equally as good as her imo.

I think she comes the closest... probably a close 2nd i.m.o.

Nunes didn't beat her in any spectacular way though.

 

[seanb1979]

All those special supplements and Budd doesn't even have a jab.

 

[PicoPulse]

Has there ever been another Strikeforce, UFC and Bellator champ?

 

[Omni1]

Corner should have called it after the third. That didnt need to happen.

Yes it did! The MMA gods need to be appeased!

 

[Ares Black]

Impressive performance by Cyborg. Budd looked good, and strong, but questionable fight IQ.

That illegal knee in the first changed everything. Still impressed with Budd though. First time I've seen her fight.


I'm exhausted Sherbros.
Gnight all.

 

[Kingz]

Good fight. Budd was actually the best strength for strength matchup we’ve seen for Cyborg but too much volume. Cyborg doesn’t get tired of hitting.

 

[Alphaboy]

Rapunzel stache pushed Cyborg like a freight train. Lol

 

[Pakman]

I think she comes the closest... probably a close 2nd i.m.o.

Nunes didn't beat her in any spectacular way though.

one could see it going Valentina's way too. idk, it was a close fight, I'm not hating on the decision, but like you said, she SQUEAKED by in that fight.

Hopefully someone else can make a splash soon

 

[philbr]

Budds losses are to Amanda, Rousey and now Cyborg...that's like the WMMA mount rushmore

 

[cooljay1622]

cyborg will reign forever in bellator 145 womens division with the whos whos list of fighters they will bring in.

 

[MMA4Life]

Nunes stole Cy's whole legacy as the GOAT. And did it clearly natty as well.

And Invicta

Cyborg smoked that Budd.
