"I've been hearing rumors that she's coming to the UFC, but I've been hearing for so long that I don't know if it's true anymore. It's not confirmed, but I'm open to this fight. Maybe we could do it in a 140 catchweight . I respect Cyborg a lot. She destroys the girls she fight, she's awesome. What do I have to lose? I get in there, give everything I have and if I can beat Goliath, I'm in a good position"

Well, at least she's willing to do what Ronda wasn't.

Props to Tate, I would be down for that fight.

Thoughts?

I think this fight is extremely unlikely to happen at 140. But the UFC can be very inconsistent and unpredictable.
 
UFC isn't going to let it happen.

If they wouldn't do catchweight for Rousey when she was willing to do it for Gina Carano, they sure as hell aren't going to allow this.
 
May the internet save all the pics where she still look good, most of wich will be called beforecyborg.jpg

Dana didn't want Rousey to lose to Carano. Not that she would but he was taking no chances. Dana hates Tate though. He would send Meisha to the wolves any chance he gets.

Nope. They tried to negotiate Carano to fight Rousey at Bantamweight. It fell through.

Makes no sense to have their champ lose to someone at a weight above them when they don't have a weight class above them.

Only makes sense for the Women's BW champ to fight a BW.
 
Is Miesha just saying exactly the same things that Holly said when she became champ?

She won't fight Cyborg at 140lbs ever, she wouldn't fight Nunes because Ronda hadn't fought her imagine what she'll say about Cyborg.

my thoughts are Miesha will compete and not concerned about legacy as much as ronda and she's fearless, didn't budge with the opportunity against holly despite the fact holly looked like a monster and part of it I think is actually about ronda, she wants to be a better champ than ronda and prove it.

I respect Miesha's moxie but I still agree with Ronda's position that Cyborg deserves to be frozen out unless she makes BW with no concessions whatsoever offered to her. Chick is a juicer and a repeated cheat on other fronts and should be given no leeway for her bullshit.
