She’ll probably be booked for t he next event, and I’ll be unable to go. And Aldanawill be in her corner. Which means Fate will be screwing me over. As per usual. If Fate is really screwing with me, both Aldana and Grasso will attend.

I was wondering.. is there any type of rule that, ehm.. wouldn't allow a fighter to fight "stinking"?
Seems like that was a clever move of Grusander..

Every promotion has their favorites. In the words of Max Holloway. It is what it is.

It used to be Michelle Waterson when Kedzie was the match-maker.

Read her post again. She had the option of either rematching Grusander in December, or sitting out for close to a year while waiting on a new contender. She chose to go with the rematch. They gace her two options, and she picked one.
It's the same reason she fought in Road FC. Invicta had already decided she'd be fighting for the title, but they didn't have a contender lined up yet. So she could have waited, or looked for fights elsewhere. She chose the latter option.

Jacobson's got this one, I think, but it should be a good match-up.
WMMA GOAT? It's a short list of names,IMO. Obviously, women like Howe, Fuji, and Rousey were way ahead of their competition; the sport had to catch up to them in a sense. I'd probably go with Rousey just because her wins were so dominant and no one did more to elevate the sport for women. I just can't put Cyborg in that list because she beat up lots of smaller women with pure brute strength and mass. That's my two yen.

I would put Megumi as best p4p. The argument I get from most people is "she would be smoked by today's talent". My argument back is that at that time, fighters were on the same level of in terms of training and you got to take it in consideration that the sport evolves. Like how Michael Jordan is considered the GOAT while today's NBA would probably be tougher for him.
Also take in consider the streak of 22-0 and her losses have been close decision losses. In any era this is tough to do, even if some competition were not on her skill level.
That being said Cyborg I would put as 2 since a lot of her opponents were smaller.

She's definitely more of a pioneer though, not really a name that should be in the GOAT conversation in my opinion. Pretty much like Royce, Shamrock, Rickson & Bas Rutten. Still very important for WMMA history (specially in US), of course, by paving the way.

Since the thread of the day is "MMA Trades", how about the idea of UFC trying to trade Cyborg & Invicta's 145 division (Pam, Spencer, Kolesnyk, D. Santos etc) for Bellator's Macfarlane + 125 division (Letorneau, Velasquez, Lara, Arteaga etc) ?
Maybe Cyborg herself would be enough, tbh.
After the Nunes fight, and the very likely Cat Zingano win over Megan, there will be no one to Cyborg fight..
Everyone gains from it. Budd vs. Cyborg should be good.

The Bellator 213 card from Hawaii headlined by Ilima-Lei Macfarlane defending her flyweight belt vs Valerie Letourneau will also likely overlap with these other two cards. Sucks to have three good cards on at the same time.
