Tell Ronda that Fedor never avoided any one 10lbs more than him... Complete BS!

What about people who have moved down a class to fight, no one ever mentions them.
 
This 100%. If someone turns a blind eye to this then they are hugging way to far up on the ufc propaganda and weirdo rousy.

The unbiased view is that Cyborg fought at 135 when she started, Rousey fought at 145 when she started. So both have fought at the other's weight in the past. Anyone who only mentions one is biased.

Anyone who thinks they're already the same size has to explain why Rousey can make 135 and Cyborg can't - that seems to indicate that Cyborg is bigger, and that suggests that at the moment their natural weight divisions are different. Again, only those who are biased argue that they're the same size and one or the other is ducking (ie Cyborg is ducking going to 135 or Rousey is ducking going to 145). Any unbiased person agrees that they're ten pounds apart in fit weight (ie a weight division apart).

Either could make the other's weight given a year. Rousey could put on the ten pounds of muscle she'd need to be the same size as Cyborg, Cyborg could lose the ten pounds of muscle she'd need to be the same size as Rousey. Neither chooses to do so. Again, on both of them.

People putting the onus on one or the other are letting their biases rule their opinions. They're not sisters, neither owes anything to the other. And changing your fit weight by ten pounds (either up or down) is asking a lot.

And then the non-weight related issues come in - who's the bigger PPV draws, past history of PED usage (and the past counts, its why Barry Bonds isn't in the baseball hall of fame even though he claims he didn't use at the end), which weight divisions the UFC has (if the UFC doesn't want the fight at anything but 135, then Rousey has to leave it if she puts on the muscle to fight Cyborg at 145, and that's probably not a bright business move until she's ready to retire).

And in fact my prediction is this fight will happen when they're both ready to retire, its money in the bank for them after their best days are behind them. Mayweather Pac showed that's the best way to do it - make your prime money while you can, and then have a big name fight after you're no longer at your best for a comfy retirement fund.

The difference between thet wo is that Cyborg is willing to lose 5 lbs and make it a 140 catch weight which would be out of the "comfort zone" of both. Ronda is not willing to gain 5 lbs instead,he accepts only at her comfort zone. And this,coming from someone who claims is "always trying to do it like Fedor",who fought guys WAY heavier than him a lot of times,is ridicolous.

Sure, that's the only difference. Well...except Cyborg has cheated. By numerous ways, ped's being one.

You kinda forget that.

You also kinda forget that Fedor was fighting in the absolute division, and him fighting fighters way heavier wasn't him aggreing to do so - it was just the way it was.

Until Cyborg joins the UFC its a fantasy scenario. She's already turned a UFC contract down once.
 
Well, diminishing returns... The ultimate fighting weight is generally not 300 lbs for a human, but rather 220-240, so going up in those quarters isn't that crazy of a deal compared to going up in weight in the lower weight classes.
 
Females fighting females on male hormones is more like a female fighting a male.


Males on male hormones are still males.

Female steroid abuse is worse in my opinion.

Females on male hormones still have lots of female hormones in their bodies, so it's like 2 steps forward, 1 step back. Males with more male hormones don't have that problem.

Ok but agreeing to fight in the absolute division is agreeing to the possibility of fighting much larger opponents. It's the polar opposite of what Ronda is doing by saying she will only fight opponents at 135. Well except Gina of course, who magically gets a pass because she hasn't fought in 5 years and could never make 135 either.
 
Just like DC had to move down to fight the UFC champ, Jone Jones; Cyborg has to move down to fight the UFC champ, Ronda Rousey.

GSP got shit on for years on sherdog for not moving up to fight Anderson.. DC moved down because his buddy Cain was champ.
 
I adore Fedor. With that said however:

It could be said that Fedor also took on top Middleweights in Matt Lindland and Dan Henderson (Two weight classes DOWN)!

To be honest, Cyborg is not a UFC draw at this point. UFC Straw weight champion J.J. is!!!

If Ronda DID DECIDE to do an out of WC fight like Fedor, why on EARTH would she not go for the more financially lucrative fight against her only true adversary (ANOTHER UFC WOMENS CHAMPION).

You hard cores crack me up thinking Cyborg has the potential UFC fan draw of J.J.!

J.J. is 10x the draw in the UFC as Cyborg in her demented world dreams she could be.

Cyborg needs to STFU and focus on HW WMMA in the little leagues, or get into WMMA fight shape, win a few BW UFC fights and EARN her shot at a real MMA belt.

Is J.J. also "whatever" for not fighting the little league WMMA legend Cyborg.

FFS, Mighty Mouse want's to know what he can do to gain fans. Dare Kimbo Slice to "call him out" and then press Dana into bring Kimbo back for a catch weight bout.

Better yet, let the delusional Little league WMMA mouthy one fight the delusional big league mouthy one as entrance into the Octagon.

Correia vs. Cyborg @ 140. Let's do it! Hell, she could do the same against Tate.

I hate turds too ignorant to be real.

You are sickening to honest MMA fans. In fact you are so bad I can't even say if you CANNOT understand what your mental illness comes off to us.

It is ZERO difference Cyborg calling out Ronda than it is for Kimbo Slice to call out Weidman for a catch weight fight.

You A-fug-hols would also no doubt be right on board with UFC MW champion "ducking" the king of the little leagues.

Tards, one and all Cyborg trolls!

Do I really have to list UFC top fighters,UFC champions, UFC HALL OF FAMERS who tested positive or you really want to keep on this? So she tested positive once,this means she's always been and always be on roids,even though she passes the tests Ronda is facing? By this logic,they should give a lifetime ban to everyone who tests positive once. And also assumes who never tested positive never used peds. A bit flawed logic.

Cyborg IS willing to lose 5 lbs and fight out of her natural and more suitable weight class
Ronda is NOT willing to gain 5 lbs and fight out of her natural and more suitable weight class.

And that is an undeniable fact.

Fedor could have done the same thing,drop to 205 like Ronda dropped to 135 and claim everyone not doing the same were ducking him. You also kinda forget that Fedor fought almost his career in Japan where there is no athletic commission and fighters could have been on Peds way more than Cyborg.

No, it isn't. Ronda is fighting in a division, so was Fedor. They are and were doing exacly what they needed to.

Cyborg is the one not doing what she needs to.

Cyborg is the one roiding. Cyborg is the one refusing to fight.
 
Sure, he could. Had he been beating everyone at 205.

Nice. Quoting 3 lines out of a walltext and ignoring all the rest lol. Yes,he could have drop to 205,start to beat everyone and claim Cro Cop and Big Nog were ducking him.

I always try to do it all like Fedor
