Ronda Rousey vs. Amanda Nunes for UFC 207
Early tap for Ronda
Or early Ko for Nunes
hmmmmm :-/
It could go either way if nunes can keep it standing for the first round she'll win by KO, rousey isn't very good at stand up imo. I'm more interested in what happens after the fight if rousey wins will she finally fight cyborg and if rousey loses will she continue in UFC? I think she will retire.
shareNo way Ronda and Cyborg fight, unfortunately. Cyborg can't make weight at 135. She made a video of herself trying to make a catchweight of 140 for her UFC debut where she was brought to tears because the cut was so extreme and taxing on her body that she just broke down.
Rousey and Cyborg just isn't a feasible fight, despite what we the fans might want, unless Rousey agrees to a catchweight bout, but she has absolutely no reason to do so and the UFC would never put their prized female UFC fighter in a lose/lose position.
A catchweight is perfect. She's got the weight excuse, she's already tasted defeat in MMA, and if she has the belt, she won't be risking losing it. Love how Cyborg has been saying that Candyman stuff. She also said Rousey will need plastic surgery after their fight. Scary sh!t coming from that woman.
shareWell Cyborg is an idiot, so you're probably right. Rousey has been out of the picture for nearly a year, and Cyborg hasn't done anything to step up to the plate at 135 to take a free belt.
I get it, Cyborg has so much muscle mass she can't make 135. Thankfully god invented atrophy. Six months of refraining from heavy weight lifting and she'd make 130 if she wanted to. If she just dropped 7-8 pounds worth of muscle weight, she'd still look like She-Hulk, would still run through her opponents considering they'd be lighter than what she currently fights, and she'd be making 135 easier than she currently makes 140.
She makes me wanna smack her, but that's kinda sexist, and she'd also kill me.
If you can read this then you are trying too hard.
To her defence she did say she wanted to stay in her weight division eventualy and the only fight that interests herin the division is Ronda. She couldnt go to far down in weight if Ronda was unsure about coming back.
Remember, use the magic twig wisely

Please explain to me again how McGregor, who walks around at 170, can't possibly make 145 ever again (according to you) but Cyborg, who also walks around at 170, can somehow make 135 (according to you)? share
I think people underestimate how difficult it is to lose muscle mass... I don't know how anyone who watched her document her last cut to 140 could reasonably ask her to cut to 135. It was awful and more importantly, dangerous.
That said, she beefed herself up (illegally), and put herself in this position. Stop calling out women in smaller divisions and be thankful the UFC even allows you on their cards to main event in a fcckin catch weight fight.

I completely agree. Not only that, I wish the sport of MMA encouraged more fighters to fight close to their true weight.

I see what you are saying, but most pro sports turn a blind eye to PED's. And organizations like Pride practically encouraged it. Most MMA athletes say up to 90% of fighters use PED's, although since the UFC brought in USADA, that might have went down.
Stop calling out women in smaller divisions
Cyborg has been wanting to fight Ronda back when they were in the same weight division, so she's only been doing that since Ronda went down one division.
and be thankful the UFC even allows you on their cards to main event in a fcckin catch weight fight.
I wouldn't be too thankful, the UFC is literally ignoring her star potential in favor of Ronda, and literally doing so because they know Cyborg will wreck her star power, past and future. share
The thing is that no one's making her fight for the UFC, obviously. I dunno what she made for her last couple fights, but she was getting paid out by Invicta. Like 100k while no one else was clearing 10k. She knows where the money is. Otherwise she could always jet over to Rizin, roid her brains out and fight Gabi Garcia.
There's just not enough talent to build a 145 division. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is. And not too many ladies are gonna move up if they don't have to, for obvious reasons. I'd rather Ronda crank on my arm for a second than have Cyborg ruin my face for a couple minutes.
I think people underestimate how difficult it is to lose muscle mass... I don't know how anyone who watched her document her last cut to 140 could reasonably ask her to cut to 135.That's two different subjects rolled into one though. Cyborg isn't refraining from weight-lifting, so her muscles have no chance to atrophy. Subject 2 is the way she cuts weight, which is dehytrating as much as possible. Naturally, if she continues her weight-lifting regimen while trying to make 140 by massive dehydration, she's going to risk her health.
For example, Conor has the frame and muscle mass of a 155er. Cole Miller also has the frame of a 155er, but he's able to make a healthy and safe cut because he has less muscle on his limbs than most 145ers do. Cyborg is in a different category than either of them. Her frame is pretty much identical to Holly Holm's and Leslie Smith's. Cyborg is tailor-made for 135, but the one thing that prevents her from making that weight is her workout regimen. There's just no getting around that fact.
Now, sure, you can make the point that it's not easy to lose muscle weight, especially when you have to train to stay in shape to defend your theoretical title. But after so many years of doing the same thing, at the end of the day it's really just an excuse for Cyborg to take the safe road and remain "undefeated."

How in the hell did Conor McGregor sneak his pasty ass into this conversation?! You did that on purpose!
Remember, use the magic twig wisely
How in the hell did Conor McGregor sneak his pasty ass into this conversation?! You did that on purpose!
Oh Please, You do it all the time, You let your hatred for Conor get the best you and bring him and HIS FANS up all the time in conversations that have nothing to do with Them...
In fact you just did it here, lol dont you find it odd, you were the ONLY one to get angry and then result to name calling just because someone brought Conor up...
lol again this isn't normal...No one else even cared, It didn't bother any one, You literally got so angry at someone even mentioning Conor, that you then had to call the person out and resort to "Name Calling" With Conor to make yourself feel better...
lol You need to get a handle on this dude, Its truly creepy.
I mean stop and think what you just did, A poster simply used Conor as an example because given the subject, Conor actually was A very good example, It made perfect sense...It didn't bother anyone else, no one else read the Posters message and felt he went off topic with Conor, everyone completely understood the comparison the poster was making between Cyborg Cut and Conors recent Cuts...Yet You Instead immediately got angry with just the mentioning of Conors name, angry enough that you then had to call the poster out and then you literally couldn't help yourself and had to throw in an Insult at Conor...
lol your hatred for Conor once again kept you from thinking clearly, Instead of understanding the comparison the Poster was making between Conor and Cyborg, You instead got so angry you didn't even understand why The Poster brought up conor, lol You literally said
"How in the hell did Conor McGregor sneak his pasty ass into this conversation?"
lol I'm sorry but this ^ is an idiotic question, If you honestly have to ask why The poster brought up Conor ...then your simply clueless...
again Your the only one that seems not to understand why the poster brought up Conor...everybody immediately understood Conor was a good example, A simlar example, Both Cyborg and Conor cut close to the same amount of weight, bringing up Conor cutting from 170 to 145 is similar to Cyborg cutting from 170 to 135...lol The Poster just brought Conor up because it fit in With the Conversation he was having, unfortunately you couldnt understand it, Your hatred for Conor immediately made you want to insult the poster and Conor instead of simply understanding what everyone else understood
