I would like to see if ortizgnp can refute any of the facts listed below:
Fact: Ronda fought at 145 in KOTC, HKFC and Strikeforce.
Fact: Ronda stopped competing at 145 and dropped down to 135 just as Cris Cyborg made her way in the top 3 ranks in Strikeforce.
Fact: Ronda left a still functioning Strikeforce at 145 and started competing at 135 in the UFC.
Fact: Ronda is ON RECORD saying that she would go up in weight and fight Gina Carano at a catchweight of...wait for it....145 lbs!!
Fact: Ronda vehemently refuses to do the same for a Cyborg fight.
Fact: Ronda CAN go up in weight and meet Cyborg very easily but refuses.
Fact: Ronda is not naturally small. She's a big girl so it's not like she would be fighting Cyborg out of her natural zone as far as size goes if they fought at a 145 catchweight. Her walk around weight is much bigger than that. She competed in the Olympics at 154.
Fact: Although Ronda is not obligated to meet Cyborg at a catchweight, her refusal to do so (even though she would have done so to fight Gina Carano) paints a cowardly picture of her. If a pro fighter really, really, REALLY wants to fight someone so badly (as Ronda said so many times out of her mouth concerning Cyborg), then that athlete should put her money where her mouth is and show and prove.
True athletes change weight classes all the time (Lyoto and McGregor just to name two of them). No one is asking Ronda to change weight class. She is only asked to meet another fighter halfway.
RR Will never, ever, EVER meet Cyborg at a catchweight and we all know why. Because SHE'S SCARED and SHE KNOWS that Cyborg will rearrange that already ugly face of hers.
