Cyborg making 135lb debut in December.

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.

True, but if I remember correctly, Cyborg landed something like 40 punches in 16 seconds, maybe more. It was crazy. That was the fight she got popped for PEDs after.
 
Awesome news people! On Dec 5, for the very first time, we're going to get to see Cris Cyborg miss weight at 135 lbs.
 
The Ufc hype machine got you too.

Thank you. Its the old trick where people fall for the lie that if a fighter hasn't fought in the UFC then all their wins are against cans. Rouse has supposedly fought better competition simply because the UFC dupes people with their "ranking" system.

Well as long as you understand.
 
A) I'll believe it when she actually makes weight.

B) She's already said she's only planning on making 135 three times, so this talk is dumb.

C) Carano might not be a can, but she was always overrated because of her looks and had trouble making weight too. That talk is just as dumb. Strikeforce 145 was 2 big women beating up on a lot of puffed up 135/125ers.

D) IMO this is all just long hype to get a better contract in the re-emerged Bellator 145 division where she can energize Ronda haters by staying away more.

E) Random drug testing is gonna hurt a lot of these "superfights" that have been talked about (ie Silva/Diaz) and quite possibly this one.
 
So we're finally going to see this fight? How many matches does Cyborg have to win to get a shot?

Let's hope she doesn't lose until she faces R3.
 
If Cyborg vs Rousey ever actually happens, I hope and pray I can find the good sense to say as far the fuck away from this forum as humanly possible, possibly forever.
 
If she hits 136 Dana and ronda will be saying that she didn't really make it because it's 135 in a title fight.
 
Finally put her weight where her mouth is.

Fine with me, she can step up to get wrecked by Rousey whenever. However I do think that in light of Wanderlei, she should be hit with a lifetime ban after getting her arm snapped.
 
Talk about a match up that has lost some steam. Cyborg needs to beat the scale twice and win two fights, imo, before this fight is even feasible. Hopefully she wins and has a quick turn around because she has been on the sidelines for awhile.

As soon as she signs a UFC contract, she'll be subject to out of competition drug testing. Dana White will make her wait, win a fight in the UFC, and wait again before getting a title fight scheduled (while Ronda fights Zingano or Correia or maybe both). Probably 8 months to a year after signing. That's a lot of time to wait and get repeatedly tested. They would definitely assure that Cyborg is totally clean before putting her in the cage with Ronda.
 
You guys are hillarious thinking Cyborg is going to beat Ronda.
Ronda has never lost a fight or round against tougher opposition than Cyborg has faced.
And has never gone the distance.

That being said.....
Happy warrior by KO.

If it's for the title, that is the rule. You don't get the 1 pound leeway in a title fight. Just ask Nate Diaz when he fought Benson Henderson for the LW title.
