Can Cyborg sell PPVs?

[peytonlucy]

Cyborg is a great WMMA fighter, but beating Holm at this point doesn't add much, considering Holm was 1-3 in the last two years, her only win over a fighter who was herself 1-1-2 in her last four fights before Holm.

Really, there's no way someone with Holm's recent record should even have been given a title shot. Its certainly not a significant victory. And I say that as someone who thinks Cyborg is the WMMA GOAT.

I agree with much of this. Cyborg has been the best fighter in the 140/145 weight range since 2009.

A lot of people saw the ultimate fighter with her and saw the light

Didn't watch that one. Haven't watched one in a long time.

I seen some cringy clip of her and.....can't remember the chap's name now, where she confronted him after he and Edmond were eyeballing one another. She just being a tool towards Tate on the show?

If the UFC chooses to actually market her without bias she could probably do some business. She's dominant as hell, and generally bludgeons everyone she faces.

Cheers.

I know she was in that film with Stallone and Entourage, but that's it as far as my knowledge of her movie career goes. I'm sure we get the chat shows over here and it gives her exposure in the States, though it always surprised me she was as popular as she was in the States and if she was seen as this 'figure head' for the nu age of Girl Power, that's the only reason I could think of girls like you sister starting to watch the sport. An MMA fighter doesn't really feel like it's the fit for girls to look up to or maybe it is/was.

I never really thought Rousey was as bad as some folk on here made her out to be - I thought when she refused to shake Tate's hand after their 2nd fight was a bit catty, but I think a lot of the dislike for her was just people wanting to see her knocked off her perch. I always thought she spoke well enough and her pre fight talk was nothing 'worse' than '.....after I beat this chick' Lots of fighters say the same along those lines.

Cyborg seems like she has about 50 PR people behind her with her CyborgNation stuff, wearing a Hijab and I think she has this sense of entitlement about her, but something about her being caught once for PEDs rubs me the wrong way - as it does with any fighter. She's definitely more exciting to watch, imo, but her options seem limited as to who she fights at 145.

She was in Fast and the furious #12 or some shit

Like diarrhea after a chipotle meal

Its just hard enough to build a star in MMA let alone WMMA. They are pushing Ngannou rightfully so, I think he wins but if Stipe KO's him its back to the drawing board.
