Gina and Marloes are better wins than anyone Ronda has beaten.

You are kidding me right?

Marloes got out grappled by Tate and lost to her via arm-triangle. Ronda made Tate her grappling toy.

Who was Gina's best win? Kadzie? Young?

like that can Gina Carano that Dana is talking about giving an immediate title shot to and whom Rousy said could give her a lot of problems in a fight? That can Gina who Cyborg beat the shit out of and made cry on Randy Couture's shoulder? Rousy's record is full of just as many cans as Cyborg's record, simply because these two are so far ahead of the rest of the competition. These two need to fight, and people are crazy if they think Rousey is just gonna walk through Cyborg. Rousey was getting tagged my Meisha Tate and took several rounds to finish her. Cyborg would beat the living hell out of Meisha and make it look easy

Gina doesn't deserve a title shot either.

But to say Ronda's record is full of just as many cans is objectively false. Ronda fought far better ranked fighter than Cyborg.

No, it isn't. Ronda hasn't fought a single can. Cyborg has fought several.


Go through their respective record list.

Gina vs R3 has nothing to do with records, fairness or rankings and everyone knows it.

It's a fight that will sell tickets and there's nothing wrong with that.

It also wouldn't be the first time the UFC has used matchmaking to sell tickets rather than what made sense in the rankings. Why is that a bad thing when it comes to the girls?

Just because R3 is the best doesn't automatically make her resume full of cans. That simply isn't true. Ronda has been fighting the best she can find whereas Cyborg clearly hasn't. The records speak for themselves.
 
Thank God. One way or another, I just can't wait till this is over.

No it shouldn't have been.

Cyborg hasn't fought MMA since July, 2013 and she's never fought at 135, her record is also littered with cans. She doesn't deserve a title shot at all.

To be fair, it's hard to find someone that's willing to fight her. She had to really stretch to find an opponent sometimes, and they were just women looking to boost their own name by taking a fight with a much higher-ranked opponent. She destroyed one of them in 16 seconds.
 
Great stuff. Hope she'll make weight. I still think Ronda will beat her though.

Full of lolz.
 
Pretty bullshit move by the 'Dog to omit the fact that the fight is happening in Invicta, lolz.
 
Who thinks she will actually make the weight? I'm skeptical, to be honest.

If she doesn't, she can probably forget about coming to the UFC anytime soon; especially if it's more than a couple of pounds over. If she does, it's going to be really interesting to see how the cut affects her performance.

Well, Carano wasn't a can, and Cyborg has been recognized as a top fighter for a long time. Fighting for the title in a nearby weight class wouldn't be unreasonable.

That being said, I'm glad she's fighting once at 135 before a title shot, I prefer this to an immediate title shot. If she can prove that she can fight clean and make weight, give her the title shot.

If she fights clean then she should make weight.

Fair enough but Julia Budd is a legit 145er that has called out Cyborg before.

R3 also has a 16 second destruction and Davis has a legit resume and winning record.
