Cris Cyborg Says She Has Agreed to Fight Megan Anderson @ UFC 221 in Perth (Not Official Yet)

[dim_]

I thought Megan said that it wasn't a visa issue and no one can force her to say what it really was or something like that?

the story i have from a very reliable source was that she was on a visitors visa which expired some time ago.

there are other things as well that im not gonna divulge.

We are looking at the advent of THE NEXT Anderson!

Fair enough.

Looks like they may be looking to add Cyborg vs. Anderson to UFC 221. Targeted. Not official yet by any means. UFC 221 definitely needs some help though. This is a start, I guess.

yeh, she doesnt say who the call was from. probably tito.

cyborg has posted so many pictures on her instagram of matchups between her and x at various events and 90% of them dont happen.

that said, if it does, the only way Megan doesnt get destroyed inside 2 minutes is if its a work and Cris carries her for 3-4 rounds

I'm guessing the Cyborg team are aware of the problem and that Megan is advised not to talk about it. What fun they can have signing up for imaginary fights in Australia aware that the Aussie must suffer in silence while everyone calls her a ducker.

Ariel says it's not done.

Megan has more than once asked for it within the past couple of weeks. All she is doing here is denying that Cyborg's social media announcement is for real.

Why would she deny it if she wants the fight?
She knows she's the next in line, the UFC is going to ask cyborg before Megan considering cyborgs the one doing the quick turn around.

Instead of claiming fake news she should be asking for the contract..
Andersons hasn't fought in a year and she's been calling cyborg out for over that.

Jesus Christ, why can't a single MMA journalist give us the scoop on why this fight hasn't happened yet?

 

[Better Every Day]

What personal problem?

She doesn't want to reveal it. But she has also used the phrase "not cleared to fight" (not specifying who would be doing the clearing), but added that she expects that obstacle will end in the next month or two (said by her in a recent "Aussie and Fancy" show).

It's Megan. Something personal with Megan. She hasn't said what it is, so either nobody else knows or they're respecting her wishes of keeping it private for the time being. It's just been a really long time.

Personally, I think when you start a campaign and the people get behind you, if you need to suddenly disappear, at least give us a hint at what the problem is.

Feels like a waste of time trying to get excited for her after she disappeared like that last year.

It's actually a little frustrating at this point. I think it's a pretty good match up (as far as WMMA goes) and we don't really know what's stopping it from happening.

Funnily enough, when Justino wins, she officially clears out the division, LOL.

But what does she do after clearling out all 1 of the other 145ers ?

Rematch?

That sort of sounds like peds but if it was peds, media wouldn't keep it a secret.

Weird.

Doubt MA takes this fight after a layoff. Would be cool if she did.

MEGAN ANDERSON IS COMING!!!

Why would she deny it if she wants the fight?

Because unlike Cyborg (or whoever does Cyborg's social media postings for her) she doesn't want to lie to her fans?

Instead of claiming fake news she should be asking for the contract..

How does it make sense to ask for the contract if there already is a contract? Megan has said that Cyborg should fighter her next.

Doubt MA takes this fight after a layoff. Would be cool if she did.

 

[Darkart]

We need more WMMA fighters like Cyborg Nunes and Andrade. It's a real shame they are not all in the same division.

 

[Better Every Day]

Ariel says it's not done.

Notice that he also says that she isn't "cleared".

 

[VIP1349]

She has been asking for the fight. But maybe she has scruples against lying to her fans?

Difference between asking for the fight and asking for that date.
