If Rousey believes she can beat Floyd, why doesn't she fight Cyborg at 140 catch wt?

[King Cobra]

Yes and I also believe Cyborg is more of a threat then Floyd.

who is more dangerous a natural 145 strong women with lots of MMA, Muay Thai and BJJ experience VS a boxer nearly 40 about to retire never grappled in his life.

Because Cyborg is a harder fight than Floyd Mayweather. Can we stop this now?

Mayweather is faster than Cyborg, the best in the world in one of the major components of MMA which is Boxing, bigger, stronger and he is a man.

On top of that he has the psychological advantage as being a world class boxer since Rousey would have too much respect in not wanting to get too close to get punch.

You idiots with your grappling hyperbole is beyond ridiculous.

Because she doesn't believe a word she says TS.She only does it to create some buzz.
She's the type of person who folds quickly and isn't confident.Those kind of people give up as soon as they know they can't reach the very top.Just like she gave up Judo to do something easier.If she believed in herself she'd have stayed there until she got the gold medal,but she quit.

She thinks she has no chance against Cyborg,that's why she went down on weight and that's why she won't fight her above 135 where she knows cyborg would be a mess.If she really thought she was a badass she'd have begged for the fight a long time ago and would make sure to beat the sh** out of Cyborg at 145 to sh** her up.

what a regrettable decision to live in squalor as a relatively unknown judoka instead of being one of the most famous and highest paid female athletes.

borg has to do one thing and there's nothing ronda could do to avoid her. instead she doesn't try. not even a little. she has one job. and hasn't tried.

 

[skombolis]

Stop making this thread

 

[NHB7]

Probably because she assumes that Cyborg is tougher than Floyd.

 

[manu1433]

Ronda talks about Cyborg only when asked about Cyborg. She doesn't mention Cyborg on Twitter, she doesn't mention Cyborg in interviews... She doesn't post photoshopped images of her opponents to try to intimidate cyborg... She doesn't print t shirts with Cyborgs name on it..


Cyborg on the other hand.. Well, she does all of that

 

[Eric Brown]

nothisshitagain

This.


Or, rather, yesthisshitagain.

 

[kflo]

Nothing you said has anything to do with what I wrote.
Regardless of whether Cyborg can or can't, tries or doesn't try, Ronda does not WANT to fight her.

says who? she's agreed to fight her before and there is only one condition on the fight taking place. borg making 135. borg doesn't try. at all. all ronda can do is wait for her to make the weight of the division the ufc has.

I can't comprehend why people pretend to not understand this ^^^ unless they're just straight up trolling.

Make the fucking weight or find people your own size. It's pretty simple. Thing is Ronda doesn't need Cyborg to put butts in the seats, Cyborg needs Ronda...in the worst way.

Personally, I think Ronda wins at any weight, right now. Early in her career it might have been iffy but not now.

 

[dmc]

Amazing how Dana and Ronda can bash Cyborg, and it is acceptable...

 

[War Pig]

Ronda was responding to Cyborg. Cyborg posted a photoshopped picture of Carano with a busted up face and told Ronda she would retire her like she retired Gina.

It was low class on Cyborg's part but something that has become routine over the years to see from her.

 

[Bizzy]

it gets tiresome hearing this garbage talk.

If fucking Ronda was willing to fight Gina at a Catch weight, despite Gina being on a 5+ year absence from fighting and her last fight being a loss...then why the FUCK are you not stepping up and making a superfight with an ACTIVE female fighter who hasn't lost in 10 years, and is truly earned the title of baddest woman on the planet?!

Who gives a shit about who is ducking who, or what their previous history has shown with breaking policy....if she test clean, then shut the fuck up and make it go time already.

Ronda I think doesn't believe she can beat Cyborg. Doesn't want to risk losing and possibly missing out on the potential financial earnings that are heavily based on her ability to win and being this unbeatable phenom fighter.

Didn't Ronda talk retirement, or that she was looking to exit the game in the next 2-3 yrs? At this rate, the UFC isn't bringing in any new 135'ers who can challenge Ronda, and the development of the division as a whole is progressing at a snail pace.

just make the fucking fight happen already for god sakes.

I thought fighters wanted to challenge themselves, and fight the best... doesn't Ronda want to do that, or is she content beating up Cans who are severally underdeveloped and under matched compared to her level of skill.

Big fish in a small pond. Time to face the shark sweet tits.. lol

Another one out of touch with the reality of a multi-million dollar business. All Cyborg has to do is make weight and fight. She deserves no special considerations from anyone whether you're aching to see Ronda lose or not.

She's a known cheat, likes to fight fighters smaller than herself and has had ample opportunities to make the fight happen. What does she do?? Hire Tito to negotiate with Zuffa and say she'd die if she tried to make 135.

 

[Bones245n4847]

It's because she knows the fighter vs Mayweather has no chance of ever happening. Mayweather requires too much money to talk into a fight. He probably would want 100 million dollars to fight. He got 200 mil in his last fight and he probably requires around 80-100 mil for it to be worth his time. She knows she can talk all the crap she wants because the fight would never happen. Unfortunately for her and the UFC, Cyborg at 140 is reasonable and possible so she has to be adamant that the fight take place at 135 to scare Cyborgs peeps away.

 

[Malthian]

Well, since the logical arguments in terms of business, value of title, etc don't seem to be sinking in, how about we go to this little part of life called Reality.

He who has the gold makes the rules.

Rousey is rich, famous and a huge draw.
The UFC is rich, famous, and the biggest organization in MMA.

Cyborg is anonymous, has no drawing power, and is not rich.
Invicta is poor, obscure, and virtually unknown outside of MMA circles.

Who do YOU think gets to make the rules? Surprise! It's NOT Cyborg and her anonymous, so obscure that nobody has ever heard of it Invicta belt.

In a fair and just world maybe they negotiate a middle ground. However, Life is NOT f'ing fair.

Grow the f up. Cyborg will only get this fight if she makes 135, otherwise she can go into retirement in obscurity and miss on her chance at a real pay day.

 

[Tooth and Nail]

The Cyborg fight is actually dangerous that's why.

Floyd's an MMA can.

 

[Priceinator]

Ronda will continue to talk about Cyborg and Mayweather as long as TheRuthlessOne continues to think about Ronda talking about Cyborg and Mayweather.

Ha, out of touch with reality as if you know anything about business. Savior everyone the holier then thou mentality as if you're the wisest of them all, as you clearly demonstrate that your vantage point itself has no more merit then the next.

 

[ForbiddenSun]

Ronda has twice as many KO's than Floyd has in the past 16 years

 

[MaTaLa]

Way to address the points, mr butt hurt. If you have a view of the business side of this then, please, speak to it. You've certainly done nothing but sound like a schoolyard ragamuffin shouting for a fight.

All cyborg needs to do is make weight and fight. Everyone's agreed to it, afaik, except her.
