Is Cyborg About to Become the UFC BW Champion?

Captain Herb said:
Cyborg says she can't make 135 and doesn't care about the 135 belt. She says she wants superfights at 140 for the fans (and the money) and to find out who the best in the world is. It doesn't have anything to do with the 135 weight class, it has to do with which UFC fighter has the balls to take her challenge. So far it's just Leslie. No balls jokes please.

In what world does it take balls to call out smaller fighters? If Cyborg were the same size as those she was calling out she could make 135 as easily as they do, and if 5 pounds isn't a big deal, then Cyborg could simply lose those pounds.

Balls is going up in weight, shouldn't Cyborg be calling out heavier women? Obviously the reason she's going after the 135 pounders is money, but while that is good business sense, it has nothing to do with balls.

Similarly, the smaller fighters going or not going up in weight is about money as well. Pro-sport is about money. Cyborg wants to fight smaller women because that's where the money is. A lot of those smaller women don't want to go up in weight to fight her because it could cost them money, (Holms for instance would make much more fighting Rousey or Tate right now than Cyborg). Its got nothing to do with anything but money for Cyborg, Rousey, Tate, or Holly. The 135 pounders willing to go up to fight Cyborg are the ones who will make more money fighting Cyborg than fighting anyone else (ie they're not getting a fight with Rousey, Tate or Holly). Welcome to pro-sport, where fans talk about legacy and balls, but fighters look for money.

(And note I didn't use any balls jokes).

What she wants and what she gets are two different things.

If she wants to fight the champ, it will be at 135 lbs.

Lose the weight or shut Cybro.

cyborg dont got a choice. There is no money fights for her. the women at 135 dont have to beg for money fights. They got their hands full allready right now.

If Gabbi started destroying everyone in her path and started calling out Cris, I'm sure she would be interested in that fight if they could put it together. Cris has always claimed to want to fight the best and she's always backed that claim up. Even when she can't get the fights she wants, she goes outside MMA to challenge herself. That's why I respect her as a fighter.

If Gabi actually gained standup skills I'm not sure it would even be fair to Cris to fight a chick half a foot taller, 40 lbs heavier and even more chemically enhanced than her lol. Would be a major freakshow fight like having Conor fight Rumble too.

I didn't say I thought Cyborg has big balls for calling up 135ers or otherwise. Leslie Smith does indeed have balls for matching Cyborg, she was the only one out of an estimated 10-15 fighters that were offered the fight. You're absolutely right about the money aspect and I don't care about it, I'm not a fighter, manager, promoter, just a fan who wants to see these fights at whatever weight they can be made. It bothers me when supposed fans use that argument to say that a fight should not happen. A true fan says huge fights like these should NOT happen? really?

True enough, I think you're going to see more weight class jumping in the future, I think Conor is just the beginning.
 
Can anyone show me a fighter with worse standup skills than Gabi? lol
 
maybe if she would actually make 135 shed have a chance

Yeah, she's going to be the champion at a weight class she can't even make.

Good call TS.

So did you guys established that Gabi is a woman? Because she makes Cyborg look like Gina Carano.
