The thing I find odd is that based on posts... it seems like Ronda fans are making non-stop excuses as to why this fight cannot or should not happen... it's like they would rather just see Ronda continue to squash smaller girls who have zero chance against her than to fight in what would be the most epic fight in WMMA history.
Maybe it's because it makes NO sense for the UFC to hold the fight at a weight outside of an established division with their highest profile champion?
Or maybe it's because Rousey and the UFC holds all the cards and Cyborg has already signed a contract to fight at 135 for a title shot?
Or maybe it's because Cyborg keeps saying she's going to try to make 135 but makes ZERO effort to do so?
Once upon a time in February 2014....
I'm currently training to fight at 145 on March 28 and in early May. My team has hired a medical doctor to help me make 135. I plan to challenge and win the Invicta 135 Championship in the summer and challenge you, champion to champion, for your 135 belt in December.

I wonder what happened after that?
January 2015, signed a contract with Zuffa to make 135 in order to fight with Rousey
According to the details of Justino's contract, she'll have to fight at 135 pounds outside the UFC and make the weight successfully before she'll set foot in the Octagon. Cyborg's next fight is expected to be in Invicta in July, but that fight, against an opponent to be determined, is expected at 145 pounds.
So in a best-case scenario, it will be several more months after July before Justino fights at 135 in Invicta, before she gets to the Octagon.

Is it me or has Cyborg made ZERO effort to fight at 135 in spite of saying that she was going to fight at 135, in spite of "hiring" a doctor and nutritionist, in spite of signing a CONTRACT to make 135 for a fight with Rousey?
And that's just since last year.
Cyborg's been running her mouth over and over about how she's trying to make 135, how she's going to make 135, how she's coming for Rousey at 135... when she's not busy whining about how hard it is to make 135 and that she really, really, Really, REALLY wants the fight at 140.
Seriously, Cyborg and her fans need to STFU.
Shut up and make 135 or stop wasting everyone's time.
