Probably UFC bound if she can make 135

I think it's the only option. I don't see KSW or OKTAGON breaking the bank for her to be honest. Not a knock on her as she's an excellent fighter, but it doesn't seem like it would make business sense for them to.

Not sure if the UFC would be interested. They need way more intriguing contenders at W135. Pennington, Pena (2), Viera, aren't very spectacular names but Pacheco has fought Kayla like 4 times already.

Pacheco holds the only win over Kayla. Aside from Amanda, it’s the only other fight they can sell based off that alone.

True but the last time they fought Pacheco won.
 
Was a big fan of hers, on her hype train before she failed me in her first run in the UFC. She did more than enough to deserve another chance.


Dana should also give Cyborg another shot. Bad blood should not interfer with UFC. The women's divisions could use the boost and Cyborg is getting too old so let her finish out her run in the UFC.

She couldn’t make 135 before and I doubt now she can and the UFC closed 145.

If Kayla Harrison can then she can.

That's not how it works dude lol.

Cannonier went from HW to MW, surely that means DC could've done the same thing right? Wrong, his kidneys were fucked from doing that in wrestling.

Details on why she was released and her plans for the future are out now. Cliffs: Cyborg doesn't want to fight her again so PFL is closing the division after Cyborg vs Collins. She wants in the UFC and is willing to beat up some regional cans or Invicta victims to get back if needed. She is training with Nunes.

She says she can make the weight. But should she, should even Kayla who was spitting blood after cutting that weight... serious health issues. Cyborg says she is on her last fight... so no way would UFC bring back feather weight. . but they should.

I agree Kayla shouldn’t be fighting at 135, but the problem is that there really isn’t enough fighters to make a FW division. That’s always been the case and why the UFC hasn’t followed up with the division.

Cyborg is 40-years-old and on her way out. That leaves you with Kayla and Larissa. No need to make an entire division when you only really have 2 fighters for it and then a bunch of natural BW moving up.

They're definitely not the only two fighter who would benefit from fw over Bw. Macy is killing herself to be 135, Norma has more weight misses than makes at bw in the UFC.

It's just the nostalgia of 135 having Rhonda that's keeping the bar lower.

She was a 19 year old child learning mma for her ufc run and was fed to two future champions.
Now she's 31 in her prime with a boat of experience.
