Really ts? UFC seemed to bend over backwards for her. Headlining facade fighting Lina. She tested positive years ago and women don't have testosterone but she has all this mass? It appears she was cycling off and wanted the extra time to do so. It doesn't appear valid she should have been taking what she got busted for in conjunction for her own reasons.
Is the UFC afraid of Cyborg being the face of WMMA?

Is this a serious question on the heels of her second positive PED test?

Because they pretty much created the division FOR her, since they finally accept that she's not making 135. The point of the fights at 140 was to prep her for 135. That's not happening, so why keep making her do it?
Therefore, 145 gets created and they offer her the opportunity to fight Holly for the inaugural title shot. She says no....Not enough time to make weight. So, they offer an inaugural title shot in February against Germaine. She said no. How does that equate to anything other than "We want you to fight for the title in your division?" Is she now asking for another division for herself above 145?

Well they did offer her a title fight at 145 on two different dates. She said that she was depressed and wouldn't be able to make the weight in time.
So the UFC in need of a main event created a 145lb division without her. If they were that "scarred" of her they would have never signed her to begin with.
She may not be the cutest thing in the world, but any fighter that's dominant with a high KO first round finishing rate can be marketed.

She's a confirmed cheat and has done as much as she could to turn her body into a man's and still compete against women, and has been busted repeatedly for failing drug tests. The rest is semantic.
And tries to make excuses for it in typical Brazilian fashion.
So much they wanted her to fight for the inaugural fw title. Offering multiple dates. Wtf are you talking about?

Cyborg claims this is due to a bad weight cuit, Cyborg potentially caught using masking agent.

Then your a perfect example of who I am talking about. The uneducated. Here though annoying to me I will educate you. If you think USADA just will flag you for PED's you're wrong.
If you kept reading you would know she was flagged for a water pill. For helping her kidneys retain water as she rehydrates. Did you know Vicks vapor rub will get you flagged? Albuterol and Ibuprofen (advil)....birth control....You know, all those steroids I just mentioned.
and I am naive??

Put it this way....
So far the story has been trivialized by MMA media. Those who have actually paid attention know what this is all about.
Dana White put himself in front of a TMZ camera attempting to control the narrative about 20 minutes after the AC decided to flag her .
They have been transparent since day 1 and is obvious to anyone who can be objective.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind the ONLY reason there is suddenly this rush to have a 145 women's title fight is specifically because Dana and the UFC knew Cyborg was using a banned substance to recover from her weight cut post fight, and knew she was going to be flagged by the AC.

She killed 145 in strikeforce. UFC lucked out she popped before winning the belt.
What do you mean the AC decided to flag her? They don't "decide". Her test decided.
