Cyborg: 'I saw Ronda shadowboxing at the beach. Her shadow won'

[Tormund]

As did Ronda lmao. That and the WBW division lacking armbar defense and a basic fighting IQ.

I'm not denying that but she's an olympic bronze medalist in Judo so there's obviously some technique to her grappling and the way she wins her fights instead of just throwing your arms and waiting to hit someone.

 

[JohnyBrabo]

Lol anybody with half a brain knows Dana and Ronda wanted nothing to do with that fight. Not even now when Ronda isn't champ. She would get knocked stupid.

 

[elanimalsantana]

technically not the same thing.

Hard for Cyborg to get down to 135.

If Ronda was as "bad-ass" as she and Edmond and the UFC and her sheep fans thought she was....wouldn't a 140 catch weight fight be good enough?

FYI, Ronda's MGR (and by extention Ronda) ok'd a fight @ 140 but with strict out of comp testing (including hair follicle) and cyROID FLED TO INVICTA 24 HOURS LATER!!!

 

[Readybodisready]

Ronda is finished anyway. Holly just broke her, there's no way she will have the same drive to keep coming forward while taking hard shots to the face anymore.

 

[Fuzzybabyducks]

Why does she have to make weight? Ronda used to fight at 45 and she doesn't have the belt anymore.

A lot of reasons. The UFC doesnt have a 145 division for one. Ronda is going to come back and go for the title at 135. If Cyborg wants to fight her so bad ( make actual money) she should go to her. Ronda fighting at 145 is a benefit for nobody but cyborg. If cyborg wants the fame of beating Rousey and the big check she should go down and earn it until then all we will get is trash talk

True. But to be fair Ronda has no takedowns. Majority of her opponents were dumb enough to initiate a clinch and get thrown. Even though they had at least even or better odds of outstriking her.

LOL, Ronda will be probably be champion again by years end.

 

[PurpleDrank]

Solid one liner,maybe Tony Hinchcliffe gave her some ammo.

She should have to make weight because every other fighter have too.
To fight in the UFC you should be able to make the weight for one of the weight classes.
I dont think thats too much to ask.

Yes Ronda fought at 145.. When she moved down to 135 she had fought pro mma for less than a year and was 4-0.
I am sure the at that time would be the perfect opponent for Cyborg.

And btw one month after Ronda announced her move to 135, Cyborg announced her move to 135.
One made it the other not.

 

[ninja boot]

Says the juiced up brawler with zero technique

perhaps so but at the end of the day this "juiced up brawler" has proven to be where she needs to be every time. the ufc was protecting ronda and i love that cyborg isn't letting it go.

 

[Tormund]

Even though they had at least even or better odds of outstriking her.

Not necessarily, I can't think of anybody she's fought that could have got the better of her on the feet except maybe Zingano.

 

[Woliwo]

The shadow joke was awesome

Bullshit.

Cyborg was walking around at a lean 160lbs when offered the fight with Ronda at 135lbs.

Instead of taking it and making weight she went on her special juice and bulked up to a lean 175lbs and then said she would make a CW of 140lbs to fight Ronda.

If from her now lean 175lbs she can make 140lbs then she would have easily made 135lbs from her 160lb weight.

But she ran. She flat out ran as fast as she could up the weight scale away from a fight that was right there on the table for her so she could have tards say it was Ronda avoiding the fight.


(and damn you for making me defend Ronda. I hate Ronda and would love to see Cyborg smash her)

[IBack666]

You have it backwards since the only reason they haven't fough (in SF @145, no less) is because JUICEtino got caught being cyROID then refused to make weight and fled to Invicta to fight in HS gyms in from of hundreds of people. But your thinking (i.e. ignoring facts while buying into tin foil hat B.S.) is typical on these boards which makes it easy to explain the reason someone years ago coined the term "SHERTARD".

Did you cry when Honda got knocked out or did you just put on your backstreet boys album and masturbate all night wearing your mom's panties again? Or both?

Back in 2011 Cyborg :

But last week on a media call, Santos said she sees the writing on the wall in Strikeforce’s 145-pound division – and there might not be many options for her to defend her title against. There are certainly more in the suddenly bustling 135-pound class, and Santos believes she can drop down for fights at bantamweight, as well as featherweight.

That was dec 2011 one month after Ronda wanted to drop.

 

[JohnyBrabo]

Not necessarily, I can't think of anybody she's fought that could have got the better of her on the feet except maybe Zingano.

What I'm saying is even if you are correct they had zero chance beating her in a clinch fight or ground battle.

 

[Armus]

What about..."I won't fight Cyborg unless it's at 135".

Gina Carano?

"Yeah I'll fight her at any weight".

Why is the notion that the champ should chase fighters at different weight classes than the current one only entertained when Ronda is talked about? If you want to get the 135 belt you drop to 135 and take it, simple as that.

 

[fandangler101]

She's nothing more than a come forward brawler, she got made a fool of when she stepped in against Jorina Baars who is a real striker, Cyborg is a looper and a brawler.

Lets see what JoJo Baars can do in MMA.. Oh.. wait..

 

[JohnyBrabo]

Ronda is more done than yesterday's dinner. The only championship she has in her future is Coney island. Holm broke her.
