Ronda Rousey v Cris Cyborg - Size Comparison

Cris has abused steroids. She's weighed in at 140 and 137 with room to spare. She will never fight in the UFC even at 145 because of the enhanced testing. Invicta has a single fight night piss test. Cris ain't going anywhere even to fight Ronda at 145.

Which part of that answered my question?
 
Name the fighters that Cyborg has fought that are 125 lb and 115 lb fighters so we can verify their fight history. Name even one that fought in those weight classes (115 or 125) any time recent to their fight against Cyborg versus when they were barely not a teen ager.

I am certainly not here to brag about Cyborg, but the people she has fought have fought in her weight class and are not petite girls. I will agree with the majority that they are lower quality versus UFC fighters who fight more regularly and have higher spending levels to fund their training.

Cyborg's toughest fight has been against Marloes Coenen who is even taller than Cyborg. She has fought at 135 lbs before, but that is a tough weight cut for her. In fact yesterday she tweeted a desire for another match with Cyborg. She also lost to Tate in about the same amount of time as she lost to Cyborg (by different method and in 135 lb in lieu of 145 lb).

Lol, Cris is calling Ronda out bro. Ronda is saying, here I am.


Why would a champion chase a lower ranked fighter in a lesser org? It's the UFC saying 135 or bust. Said the same for Gina.




Your hate doesn't change the facts. Cris is the reason the fight isn't happening.

I actually like Ronda a lot. What I don't like is a statement like this followed by backpedaling.

I feel like I am the best fighter in the world. I am the most dangerous unarmed woman in the world and it doesn't matter what situation I'm in or how anxious I am, or if it's in a pond or a field or if I found about it today or if I've been preparing for it for 10 years. I'm still going to be the best fighter in the world on any given day.
 
135 is the only weight class they can fight In. What part of that don't you understand? It's not rocket science man it is what it is

What law or company policy is preventing a catchweight or a fight at 145?

The ufc has never done a fight above their highest weight limit makes zero sense for them to spend milli dollars promoting an athlete for a one off fight when they can't capitalize on any future gains from it. It's basic business. Not law man. God your dumb

So Cyborg vs Ronda is bad business? Okay.

Also, there's "your" and "you are." Learn the difference.

Someone already answered that for you, but here is something extra for reference:

Hitomi Akano is 5'4" (which is the average height of a 115lb girls in UFC)
And she looks like this during a weigh in:

This is a natural 115lb fighter
 
Where you at, noob? I'm waiting for you to show me some of these miraculous one-hit KO's that you know Cyborg has never done. Also waiting for you to tell me what 1-3 record-owning Jorina Baars has to do with undefeated world champion superstar Howdy Honda. Why doesn't Cyborg go to the olympics and face the best judoka in the world? Oh, because that's not her game. Similarly to why Ronda Rousey isn't taking muay thai fights. Also because she's not a broke-ass cheater who needs Cyborg's name to make a few bucks. Face it, Cyborg is a sideshow in a tent, and she's there because she chooses to be there. She only wants the big time to come to her, she decided long ago not to come to it, but that won't stop her from using the big time to leech a few bucks.

lol scurred lil rousey fan... dont blame ya, it would be a quick one sided fight

No, putting champions in catchweight exhibition matches against opponents who don't intend to stay in the company

THATS bad business.. you are selectively twisting words here

You provided nothing to back up your argument. Cyborg has finishes over two of them which means there is nothing for you to argue in claiming Cyborg showed a weakness on those fights. The fight against Hitomi Akano was a Catchweight bout. Cyborg weighed in six pounds overweight.

The loss and decision fights were about 10 years ago which is huge since Cyborg got caught for using steroids in 2011. She was only 20 years old (barely not a teenager as I stated) on those fights. One has to wonder if Cyborg was even a Featherweight in these fights.

I don't get your argument using fights that are dated back to the beginning of someone's career.
 
I actually like Ronda a lot. What I don't like is a statement like this followed by backpedaling.

What backpedaling? Ronda agreed to a fight at 145 and Cris pissed hot. Ronda agreed to a fight at 140 with strict testing, Cris asked to be released and went to Invicta. Do you honestly think Cris will agree to fight at 145lbs with strict USADA testing? I don't, and history says I'm probably right.

dont talk and act like your the best female fighter on the planet then, cus cyborg is without question, i dont give a fuk about cyborgs resume, if she fights ronda she wins.

I'll repeat a previous question to you: who is asking who to drop a weight class whilst claiming to be the best in the world.

You've lost this argument.

Lots of hyperbole here. The Akano fight was 6 years ago, Cris weighing in at 151 and tried to cheat the scales. Akano made it to the third round, bro.

Also, Cris averages 1.5 fights a year and spent time suspended. So saying "10 years ago" is a bit misleading. You asked for opponents who fought at 125 recent to their fight with Cris, I supplied those names.

You wish buddy, Cyborg is overrated and would get exposed by Zingano or even Tate
She wouldn't even reach Ronda if she fought in UFC

Hilarious to use height as your argument.

Rousey and Tate are both listed as 5' 6" which is the same or less than several 115 lb girls (Moroz, Letourneau, Calderwood). Are you going to argue that both of them could fight at 115 pounds? Marloes Coenen is 5' 9" tall and managed to weigh in at 135 lbs on her title fight against Miesha Tate. Cowbody Cerrone is a LW men's fighter who is 6' 1" tall. Maybe he should move up to MW or LHW based on his height.

Sorry, but using height means you are desperate because it doesn't work on any weight / size argument.
 
I'll repeat a previous question to you: who is asking who to drop a weight class whilst claiming to be the best in the world.

You've lost this argument.

Lots of people thought GSP was the best, did he have to fight Bellator's LHW champ to prove it?

Again, Ronda has tried to fight Cris and Cris has ran. I don't blame the UFC for being strict with Cris; Cris's games are wearing her welcome thin.
