Not to say that she isn't dominant, but her legend as a "killer" is vastly overrated. Afaik she doesn't really have any one shot-type KOs or gory bloodbaths in her resume, despite her fanbase repeatedly claiming she would do it to every opponent that comes along. IMO Nunes or Zingano have probably more impressive beatdowns in their resume against better opposition.

You're right, Nunes and Zingano are much better than Cyborg and would beat her easy. Can you sleep now?
 
Cyborg would be the favorite against anyone out of the top 15 in the male BW division IMO.
 
A "killer" doesn't get in "gory bloodbaths".. it's savage, it's quick and it enjoys a night, not in the hospital.
 
I can't say I disagree.

The problem is that people automatically want to jump on hypetrains whenever they see a new fighter demolish someone else, and if you call it for what it is your labeled a "hater" and then at some point they lose, and everyone pretends they never believed they were that good anyway...

I think Cyborg could make a serious run at 135, but as I said on multiple other threads already, this is just Dana's new hype-train to re-energize the division now that Ronda is gone..

Imagine if Ronda came back and Beat Tate... they could have Cyborg blow out some easy opponents (like Smith) and then pump up a whole storyline between the two of them and their history's...

Cyborg wins, you get the next Conor McGregor essentially, beating the unbeatable... meanwhile Holly sits on the shelf fighting top 10's with the other women while UFC gets a huge payday out of it...

Anyway, I hope Cyborg does well in her UFC venture because the best years of her career are behind her
 
it is mostly Rousey hate, few care about Cryborg.
 
So you need one punch KOs to be considered a killer?
 
Every woman she punches in the face ends up going down eventually tho

That probably has something to do with it
 
because your last name is smith. leslie doesnt get it either.

Shes a hitter. Who know what happens now. CAN she make weight? Sounded like she wants to defend her Invicta title and challenge the 135 UFC champ at catch weight.
 
She's a chick. It's very rare for women to score straight up knock 'em stick KOs. Maybe Holm's recent murder of Rousey has made people forget that, but it's true. I think Cyborg tapes her dick to her leg before the fight, but she beats the shit out of women.
 
Because she punches with the power of and is accurate and can KO/TKO any woman in the UFC?
 
She has a padded record for sure but she is skilled.
 
It's kind of true. Cyborg doesn't fight the best in the world.

Nunes, Tate, Holm and Zingano would give her a tough fight. I think Zingano and Holm would beat Cyborg.

She still is a savage, but she really needs to fight at 135lbs.
