"Will she make 135? As a person who has cut weight for 22 years: no, I don't think it's going to happen. It's hard for women to cut that much weight. For a woman to be three-percent body fat, it's not healthy. She talks about that she wants to have kids some day. Things like that can damage her [in that regard], and a lot of people don't understand that. This is not a man we're talking about. This is a woman we're talking about.

Dana keeps saying "She doesn't wanna fight Ronda" No Dana Ronda won't fight her at 145, she has made that clear more than once..
 
Dolce is working with her right now. I wa skeptical about it at first as well. (Check my post history) but she seems determined to fight Rousey. I think the bigger question now is, will zuffa give her an immediate title shot?
 
I thought last week Tito said she could?
 
how many times is this same thread going to be made?
 
Why does he talk about it likes its cutting?
She will need to change the way she trains and eats to go down.
And if she cared so much about her reproductive abilities, perhaps she shouldnt be taking steroids. That might help both issues.
 
Well if she can't get to 3 percent body fat why not drop some lean mass as well?
 
Rousey and the UFC do not want that fight to happen and for good reason.

I would be stunned if it happens.
 
Tito told Ariel today that she was working on it
 
You can dislike her all you want, I think you have to approve of her choosing to do the healthy responsible thing. 135 is way too small for her, I'm tired of seeing fighters risking their health because they are having trouble in their natural weight class and want to fight smaller guys.

Because Ronda is the champ at 135 and its the only division the UFC has in womens...

Cyborg can easily make 135
 
I am sad that Cyborg has to risk her health or give up all of her advantages to try to make 135 to have a successful career. Rhonda, Cyborg, Tate, Kaufman are the only top tier fighters in the womens world right now, and Cyborg is light years beyond them in terms of well roundedness.

Rhonda is a world class grappler, but her striking is non existent. Tate and Kaufman are both decent in stand up and grappling, but not world class in either, and are simply uncompetitive vs Rhonda on the ground. Cyborg is world class in striking and grappling.

We need more women who are world class in at least SOMETHING in the womens division. Womens MMA is advanced enough that we can expect women to be great at everything. Womens MMA is hurting because of this.

The womens division should be 145 in my opinion. When the talent pool gets bigger, then make 145 and 135 separate. The guys had to fight at higher weightclasses until the talent pool was big enough, why not women?

The only reasonable answer is to protect Rhonda Rousey from Cris Cyborg.
 
i have a feeling dana saying she doesnt wanna fight ronda is just him trying to piss her off into doing it, tito is the best manager for her right now imo

That is just stupid. Have you ever seen Cyborg weigh in a 145?

Let me know where that 10 pounds is coming off.
