Really hope we can see her against Rousey, although I still think Ronda would win comfortably.

 

[yermajesty]

Ronda by whatever.

 

[Mikedh]

They already had her signed and she wouldn't drop

 

[capnlarge]

I thought Cyborg gave up on 135

 

[LUDELOW]

she never going to make 135, its all rumors these last three years

 

[GoldenAzazel]

They already had her signed and she wouldn't drop

Fertitta says he's confident that she'll make the drop to 135 now. Not sure why but hopefully it happens

 

[Kalmah]

The only women's fight that matters. They'd be stupid not to try and make it happen.

It only matters for Cyborg. Rousey has not slowed without her and Cyborgs relevancy has only faded further in recent years.

Respectfully disagree with it being the only one that matters, but it definitely is a very big fight for Female MMA.

 

[Mikedh]

Ronda must be scared.Her reign will soon come to an end. At last the women division will have quality competition and not top 20 fighters.

What's she scared of? She has everything while cyborg was forced to take kickboxing bouts in Vegas shopping centers. One has everything and one is bitter and can only stay relevant talking about the other.

What is this like, the 3rd time we've heard this? Not expecting much but it would be cool to get her in the Octagon with Rousey.

 

[BigMuffler]

Hope she faces someone else first to prove she's still a worthy challenger after all this time since she's fought in MMA.

 

[aModerateThreat]

ronda is still getting better while cyborg has plateaued.

if cyborg ever did have a chance to defeat rousey, that window closed years ago.

 

[Hotlunch]

heard this too. in other news, fedors coming back to fight randy, diaz is gonna show up for press stuff with silva, big timmay is gonna make weight, brock can take a punch, the judges figured out how to do their job, dana renounced his love for money, and chael pisses clean.

oh....... mike goldberg stopped eating paint chips, too.

 

[RockShox1**]

i gotta get off this roller coaster

I've been off till the fight is signed and they step in cage

 

[Baba Ghanoush]

She's had three whole years to drop to 135 already, not going to happen. Cyborg is happy at 145 where she can crush all the blown-up 115lb Japanese waitresses they can find for her.

Finally

They already had her signed and she wouldn't drop

she can barely make 45 let alone 35. i don't want to even see her fight ronda at 35, she'd be completely drained.
