Cyborg turns down fight with Nunes, (after Dana's comments.)

https://www.criscyborg.com/next-fight-might-not-amanda-nunes/


"I have a responsibility to the sport to ensure that when I retire the 145lbs division continues to exist, and it is because of that I want my next fight to be against a contender from the featherweight division that has fought at 145lbs within the last year."

"If Megan Anderson is not ready to fight, then the next available contender Pam Sorenson deserves the opportunity."

"I can continue giving fans superfights, however in order for this division to grow it is my responsibility to respect the work of all the women fighting at 145lbs and give the top girls a chance at the title once they have earned it."

"If Amanda Nunes truly wants an opportunity at the 145lbs belt, a win against any ranked contender in that division would help establish her back in a weight class she left before fighting me."

Lmao she played the mighty mouse card by telling Nunes to fight a 145er before getting a title shot.
 
Mighty Mouse musta called her up
 
Nothing but props for cyborg man!!!!

She is a true champion and has the right mindset.She is the 145lb division.....

UFC gonna try and have every 135er with a name try and jump up to fight her....fuck that.

Only thing I disagree is cuz Amanda is the 135 champ she should have a bit of leniency but there again I don't necessarily disagree she should fight a top contender before getting a title shot in a division she never fought at previously.



If the UFC can't give cyborg real competition at 145 without emptying out other divisions they shouldn't have 145 at all.

Cyborg already taking a stance on HER future as a champion......she remembers every little shitty remark Dana and the UFC have had about her over the years......fuck them if they strip her or get rid of the division who cares?she already destroyed the best they had for her at 145 and defended her belt in the ufc,she was already known as the best 145 female on earth.She already proved it in the UFC i don' think she really cares where she fights now.
the problem is womens 135 lbs is a weak division and it is way better than 145 lbs.

HH, who just gave Cyborg her most competitive fight in years, is 4-3 at 135 lbs in the UFC.

So being the best 145 lbs fighter comes with a big asterisk.
 
Funny thing is all those 145ers are just bloated up 135ers who were too lazy to cut the extra weight.

Cyborg needs to realize that she should be taking these fights so the 145 lb division can have time to grow.
 
The positive test is fact. Its not an argument point. But to say she's all brawn and muscle and relies solely on her overpowering strength is very shortsighted as a fan of MMA. She clearly has more technical skill than any other fighter she's faced or maybe any other female fighter today. If you watched her fight Holm that was not steroids that beat Holly.

Furthermore, in analyzing Cyborg's frame and overall aesthetic she's always been much closer to manly characteristic independent of her steroid use. She's had one official positive test. She is the most tested female on the roster and has tested clean. Its time for MANY short sighted "MMA" fans to get off of her. Its a complete unfair and over the top hate fest on this fighter.

Does she deserve criticism? Yes, without a doubt. But the constant, caveman attempts at belittling her as an inhuman object or characterizing her as a man is fucking bullshit.

And save the White Knight shit that you and a handful of others will sling at me. I don't give a shit either way but when I see people unfairly crush a fighter I think its bullshit.

You clearly have your mind made up, couldn't care less about changing it. Just be fucking fair.
No man sorry that's not me, I'm not going to call you a white night. But your anticipatory remark shows me where your head space is at. Again I'll reiterate I'm not trolling, my post reads like I am, but only because I'm so annoyed with this Cyborg situation.

The woman is clearly skilled, great muay thai, improving hands, good distance control, timing on counters. That's great and all, but this woman walked right through Holly Holms (and all her previous opponents) offense without even flinching.

Have you ever been in a fight? Do you know how helpless it feels to throw your best offense at someone, and for them to not even flinch? Cyborg has done that to everyone of her opponents.

I'm not saying Cyborg couldn't be Champion, but she wouldn't be the dominant force she is now with out her help.

She's so entitled. Why does she think she gets to call the shots? The UFC doesn't need her and if they scrap 145 tomorrow nobody will care

Wait, who the fuck are you?? Lol
 
damn broski, what bet did you lose to have that sig.
Lol. No bet. Just saw the post, slightly out of context, and it was pretty funny to have that quote. Honestly didn't know the poster, though. Didn't come up with something new to replace it with. Kinda forgot about it.
 
Fans on Cyborg when she signs to fight Evinger. "WHY DOESN'T CYBRO FIGHT HIGH LEVEL COMP LIKE HOLLY SHE HAS THE BEST CHANCE WITH HER STYLE SHE IS SCARED."

Fans on Cyborg when she signs to fight Holly. "WHY IS THIS MAN FIGHTING A WOMAN? SHE NEEDS TO FIGHT SOMEONE IN HER WEIGHT CLASS!! ALWAYS TRYING TO FIGHT A SMALLER OPPONENT!!".

Fans on Cyborg when she is trying to fight Megan (A true 145 former Invicta Champ) a week after defending her belt. "WHY IS CYROID DUCKING NUNES!!".....

It never ends, gotta cling to whatever hate narrative you can find.
Boy invicta,damn. That means a whole hell of alot,damn.
 
Earth to Cryborg, there is no 145 division. It's a made up belt to make you stop complaining. Defend against whoever they say.

BTW, Cyborg saying you need to fight in the weight class to challenge for the belt is rich after she called out Ronda for years, yet refused to drop her roid muscles to make 135.
 
Dude. She's not a 135er, why keep fighting them? LOL let the 135ers fight themselves! She just fought one, no reason to make another "money fight" next.
She NEVER cared about trouncing small girls before. Why now? I bet Tito came up w this idea.
 
If any other champ said that everyone would be all for it.. Cyborg says it and the haters pounce.
 
She NEVER cared about trouncing small girls before. Why now? I bet Tito came up w this idea.
because she wants 145 to be a real and legit weight class? is that asking much to UFC? there's people out there to them sign
