Tito: Cyborg can't make 135

[ABC]

Then you aren't getting it. Rhonda doesn't fight at 135 because that is the optimum weight class for her, she fights at 135 because she doesn't want to fight Cyborg.

Rhonda would beat every woman at 135 AND 145, if their name wasn't Cyborg. Rhonda loses nothing as far as skills and strengths go fighting at 145. Cyborg has to give up a TON of muscle to safely get there.

That is the difference. The only realistic reason for Rhonda not to fight 145 is Cyborg. Nothing else.

not sure who Rhonda is?

When it comes to Ronda, nobody really knows why she chose to drop down, but since she hasn't had any issues cutting weight it would be safe to assume that 135 is her more natural fight weight.

Ummm.. A 5'8" female should have no problem making 135. Perhaps this has something to do with her alleged PED use

No, actually the only realistic reason that Ronda won't fight Cyborg at 145 at this point is that Ronda is under contract with the UFC and the UFC is only promoting 135 lb fights.
Do you suggest that Ronda should break her UFC contract so she can go to some BS promotion to fight Cyborg at 145?
Really?

 

[AssWhoopin]

I agree she can't make 135.............. Not with the ape like muscles and arms..... She loses some of that build she would have no problem making 135. But yes Tito, as it stands right now she can't make 135 as it would affect her health..

Ok, this dude is just a straight troll confirmed now. Focusing on stupid misspellings of her name, and things that are happening NOW but were not happening when Ronda had the chance to actually make a fight vs Cyborg a reality in Strikeforce. She could have easily agreed to a Cyborg superfight at 145, and Dana would have made it happen.

A troll because I point out facts?
Strange definition of a troll, but whatever you want to believe.

There wasn't any time to make the Cyborg/Rousey fight at 145 or 140 because they folded Strikeforce while Cyborg was suspended for cheating. In truth, I'm not sure even Coker would have made that fight because after Cyborg was caught, Coker said he was eliminating the 145 division anyway.
I'm not sure why people think Ronda has the ability to make a 145lb fight. No way Dana would do it because he would have to have somewhere to go with it after the fight is over. He appears to have no intention of doing a 145 weight class anytime soon, and as a smart promoter you have to worry about where the outcome of a fight will lead you. A promoter who only worries about today's dollars and will risk losing future revenue to try to make a little bit more today, won't be in business long. No matter what people think of Dana and Zuffa, they are definitely very smart businessmen.

A Rousey/Cyborg superfight can draw a ton of attention to the womens division again. Superfights are the only real draws in womens MMA. The rest of the womens fights belong on the undercard, with title fights being "ok" co-main events. If Rousey was game, the fight would have been made. But Rousey wanted nothing to do with Cyborg, because Cyborg would crush her face in. It is as simple as that.

You keep trying to make it more complicated, but it isn't. If Rousey had wanted it in Strikeforce, it could have been at least tentatively scheduled as a possibility, but she never wanted it. She is deathly scared of Cyborg at 145.

 

[jaayzen45]

Well if she can't get to 3 percent body fat why not drop some lean mass as well?

She has too. She doesn't have any fat to lose at this point. She's built like a in shape Randy Couture. I'd be scared of her big time.

I'm actually making it very simple.

The UFC has 1 division as of right now. If Cyborg wants to be a UFC fighter then that is where she has to complete. They don't make up weight classes for anybody else, and Cyborg certainly isn't special or privileged enough to get her own weight class.

You don't see any super heavy weight fighters calling out Cain and expecting the UFC to create a weight class for them.

 

[The G.O.A.T.]

Cyborg was stripped of her belt when she was caught cheating

In hindsight, my post was a bit vague. But yeah, that's my point: Cyborg isn't a champion. If she wants to fight Ronda, she can find a way to carry a little less muscle on her frame.

 

[tenniswhiz]

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.

If you read her interview, you'd see that she didn't take steroids. She clearly said this. She also said that she was the victim of tainted supplements.

How would you like it if I snuck into your house and tainted your supplements by spiking your protein shake with a little Stanozolol when you weren't looking?
Don't make false accusations.

She will make it.

 

[adambomb]

The champ doesn't come to your weight class Cyborg, or did you forget your place in this sport?

 

[Ninjarobby]

RRoronda is scared of cyborg. Thats why she cut to 35 on the cusp of her title shot

 

[Snatchy]

She would be able to if she got off the juice, anyone with a modest knowledge of how body building with a females natural level of test works can see she's on Dbol or Tren

I firmly believe anyone that says 'tainted supplements' is lying through their teeth. You should KNOW what's going in your body, bottom line.

Next excuse.

 

[opie]

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

Let me know where that 10 pounds is coming off.

gross

WTF is this crazy woman talking about.... she has changed her story 100 times already, she is an absolute liar with zero credibility whatsoever. First, she said the test was a mistake, there was no way she was positive. Later, I watched her CSAC hearing LIVE and her official story, under oath with her lawyer present was that she was taking a supplement under the guidance of her nutritionist that was supposed to help her lose fat, and that without her knowledge this nutritionist was giving her steroids (she admitted to taking them right there), but that she didn't know what was in the pills she was taking. Pressured to identify this nutritionist, she said his name was Jorge something (didn't know his last name) and he since moved to Brazil and there is no way to find him. .Basically the biggest BS story in the world, but she NEVER used the tainted supplement excuse.

Later, when Tito first took over her management he released a statement that Cris knows that what she did was wrong and that she will make sure to not take steroids again, which seems to contradict the first stories (test couldn't be positive and tricked by nutritionist). Now, if she's saying it was tainted supplments, this contradicts BIG TIME the previous versions. She just needs to go away.
