Tito: Cyborg can't make 135

Tito said that Cyborg has stopped lifting weights and has started concentrating on her JuJitsu. He also said that she has dropped about 5lb already.
 
Get rid of all this talk about 'divisions' and shit.

Theres 1 fucking person, Ronda Rousey @135
And theres 1 challenger, Cyborg @ 145

1-off fight at 140.
Quit the bitching. Get rid of the fake title. Get rid of the fake division.
 
is cyborg really that much bigger than male 135'ers? well i did hear its harder for females to cut so that might be why

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

Let me know where that 10 pounds is coming off.

well according to Tito, she has lost 5lbs of muscle already. Half way there, so shouldn't be any problem.

Tito told Ariel today that she was working on it

It's from the same interview. Tito said that she's working on it and has now got down to 160-165, but that he still thinks she can't do it based on how hard it is for her to make 145 and the fact that as a woman she has a harder time losing weight than a man does

the Tito interview kept cutting in and out, but he clearly said that she has already lost 5lbs of muscle by not lifting and concentrating on her JuJitsu. Sounds like another 5 shouldn't be any issue what so ever.
 
What happens when this fight is over? I don't know if you could hype up another fighter to face Cyborg in such a shallow "division".

Also if Ronda loses to Carmouche, what happens then?
 
Rousey is the champ. If Cyborg wants the belt she needs to come get it. Otherwise , she should just shut up. She can lose the weight. It's simple. Lose the muscle she built up with years of steroid use. Muscle weighs more than fat.

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?

No offense, Tito... but I think Mike Dolce's opinion on cutting weight ranks here. If Dolce is working with her and thinks she can do it, well I've seen him work wonders before.
 
That's fine so long as Cyborg is able to accept the fact that the UFC only has one weight class and that's 135 and that the Rousey fight is never going to happen. It's unfortunate but it's the reality at the moment since there aren't enough women fighters out there who are competitive.
 
She would just show up at rumble weight

What's there for her to do at 145? There are only 2 women that can be anything close to a "draw" these days... so they need to fight. The champ doesn't want to move up, so if Cyborg wants it she needs to come down. Or don't... and don't fight Rousey... pretty simple.
 
She's ducking Ronda and Ronda is ducking her. She can make 135 with diet and training, she doesn't need to make it by cutting from where she is now. Dana made the 135 rule. He settled the ducking argument. No bitching and no lying, you make 135 one way or another, or you are no longer relevant.

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.

Please. Cyroid is "Healthy and responsible"?

Ronda, who is 5'6", makes 135 easily now and is stronger and faster than ever (she too once claimed not to be able to make 135). Cyborg is 5'8". She could be 135 and in great athletic shape. She doesn't want to because she'd have to lose the roid monster strength, which is her advantage in MMA.
