Who the fuck cares? Even if Ronda fights Cyborg and submits her, the haters will claim that Dana paid Cyborg to take a dive. It's a lose-lose situation for Ronda.
There is no division. It's the Ronda Rousey show and the biggest challenge for her right now is against Cyborg, at either a catch weight or 145. If you are not clamoring for that fight, then don't complain about her twenty second blowouts.
Anderson fought up in weight and never fought the same opponent three times (which Rousey is tentatively scheduled to do).Many argued that there was no 185 division and that is why Anderson was so dominant similarly the same was said for HW back in the day. Calling divisions thin or non-existent is a pretty regular thing when there is a dominant champ. Jones detractors say that for the most part he has just fought fighters at the tail end of their careers.
So basically I think your angle is trite.
WMMA is a joke, so stop wasting your time with C-Level fighting, guys.
You could just as easily say: "MMA is a joke, so stop wasting your time".
Lots of people do, you just have to take a peak in the boxing subforum here. And those are people posting at a primarily mma oriented site.
Luckily, most people are able to form their own opinion and watch whatever they find meaningful or entertaining.
Sorry, I didn't want to hurt your feelings.
I'm just curious if people who watch WMMA also watch the male amateur leagues, because the skill-level is the same, only without all the Zuffa-propaganda on how great it would be.
They should fight at 145. I don't care to see Ronda vs a half-dead Cyborg.
"Omg like just make weight"
"Honda is champ, no chasey cris"
You bunch of hormonal sissies arguing over fight politics and 5lbs.
The only thing you should care about is that they fight ASAP bc it's a badass fight we have to see. So you don't want to see it if it's not 135? Lame.

I am (or more was, really) a fan of tennis. Womens and mens. I've been hearing that exact same argumentation since forever. It's not a wmma vs mmma thing, it's womens sports vs mens sports.
No, women aren't the athletes men are.
Yes, it's still exciting.
When you see Marion Jones running (yeah, I don't follow track and fields much any longer either...) she's not as fast as the men. But she's competing against the best she could possibly be competing against. That makes it exciting. Some male college athlete may be faster than her - but he isn't the best possible. Usain Bolt is way faster.
