Hot Take How would Cris Cyborg do in 2025 UFC ?

[MetaIIica]

She was undefeated in UFC except Amanda Nunes, and hasn't loss since. Nobody really talks about her, or cares about WMMA in general these days, but I feel like she would be an interesting fighter to throw into the WMMA mix

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

She'd still be too big for 135 with only 1 or 2 real opponents to fight.

Just like last time pretty much

 

[svmr_db]

Who can we even talk about her possible opponents being in the UFC lol, the women's featherweight division is gone.

 

[markantony20]

They couldn’t find enough girls to feed to her

 

[loisestrad]

Would love to see her against Harrison.

 

[Clark Rogers]

Meh

 

[STAY GOLD]

She would do as good as she’s doing in PFL as there aren’t opponents for her aside from Kayla and Nunes. The rest of her opponents would be a bunch of bantamweights moving up to featherweight.

 

[Necrocrawler]

She would do the same way she’s doing right now
She wouldnt move down to 135. Would probably face cans willing to challenge her for the 145 belt in hopes of moving down to 135 after that and, occasionally, would face some 135 willing to move up like Macy Chiasson, Norma Dumont and maybe Pennington or Aldana.
The only fight that would generate some hype would be her x Nunes II or Harrison, but that’s it

 

[Sycho Sid]

She can't make 135, so.... terribly because she would never fight

 

[Mittens]

Jobless, without a division. Dana saying something about Wanderlei in a dress. But at least no USADA to worry about.

 

[Buurtvader Ali]

Is that thing still fighting?

 

[Mr.Maelstrom]

Their BW division is like, just Kayla and 3 other ladies.

 

[Eater of Souls]

Stay at her current weight and continue to can crush.

 

[NicholasJBasile]

I think she beats everyone except Nunes and Harrison

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

She would go 5-0 , all title fights ... and be Fighter of the Year

 

[El Fernas]

At 135 she cant make weight, but lets pretend she could, it wouldnt be much different than at 145, that was basically 135ers on bad diet, or refusing to make the cut, like Felicia Spencer who made it to the final bell 6 years ago... The only real threat to her are Harrison and Nunes, the rest she could beat them at 40 years old at either division.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Who would Cris Cyborg do in 2025?

 

[xhaydenx]

She roided herself out of ever making BW, and there is no FW division anymore for the girls.

Maybe they could bring her back and have her just fight fattened up BWs all over again.

She had like 7 or 8 fights in the UFC at FW, and the only career FW she ever actually fought was Spencer, in her final fight haha. She literally won the UFC FW belt by beating the Invicta BW champ who was paid to come in on short notice and fatten up for a title shot at a higher weight class.

The woman is an absolute joke.

If you're going to pretend that she could make 135, then you gotta also pretend that she would not have her muscle mass that she got from roiding all those years.

And if it was like that, it'd likely be a very different story. She's looked okay smacking around smaller, fattened up BWs who didn't roid for years. It'd be a totally different game if she didn't have all the size and muscles. Girls like Pennington, Dumont, Santos, and Cavalvante would all beat her if it was a level playing field, but we all know Cyborg has never wanted it to be level.

Pennington is unskilled and has no muscle definition, the pretend she can make weight part is like how Harrison makes weight, Cyborg was bigger yes, but she isnt a big bum like Gabbi Garcia, she is legit, but also big.
