It's just a pity that she can't make weight permanently, she would be unbeatable in the UFC!:icon_neut
THE FUCK? She cannot take a punch but was receiving power shots from Sara. OXYMORON MUCH?
People seem to be building Cyborg up as the female Crocop/JDS but the reality is that she's never shown the ability to get quick stoppages the way they have nore the takedown defence they had/have.
The reason Cyborg has been effective standing is the same reason Ronda isn't likely to be punished standing, there simply aren't many(any?) quality strikers in womens MMA.
If the fight turned into a prolonged midrange brawl yes I would favour Cyborg over Rousey but I think its far more likely it ends up in the clinch and on the ground. Cyborg's takedown defence has never looked that great to me, certainly nothing like as good as the minute we saw from McMann vs Rousey.
That really sums up for me why I like watching Rousey more than Cyborg. The former is using technique at a similar level to the men's sport, the latter is technically far weaker than any fighter at the top of the mens sport and gets by on steroid fueled strength and favourable style matchups.
Her stand up was piss poor and defense lacking. McMahon was hitting her with clean power shots all nite and if it wasn't for the Ref who knows what would have happen, a new champion? Hm I think so.

She dropped to 135 in Strikeforce just so she COULD avoid Cyborg, she has been running from that fight hiding behind convenient excuses for years.
A shame that Sarah cant take a knee.
