    smh dont men get enough heat from the pc police from their hands on women in 2015. Unless you want men to let the women win, their is no point of this

    lol, you mean like lebron james, a young tiger woods, shaq, randy johnson, AP.

    you truly do hate women.

    So if I got you straight rousey really is just an average, run-of-the-mill athlete who beats up on smaller women and tricks the masses of people that adore what she does.

    Where is your website at, I'd love to read some more ronda rousey hate.

    I think Rhonda wants no part of that monster, but we'll see -- Dana said if she makes weight and performs well the fight is on. Cyborg says her next fight is at 140 so we won't have to wait very long.

    if Rousey and Cyborg fight, it will be the biggest ppv in the history of mma, probably for the next 10 years.

    That will be a fight that will be close to floyd-pac level. The hype for the fight will be tremendous.

    Rhonda already said yes to fight Cyborg if she makes wait. All this crap about her avoiding the fight is made up bs. And Cyborg only has 1 chance against Rhonda, a KO. Rhonda can beat Cyborg any which way. Cyborg will end up another first round victim.

    Sorry for the double post but the only real fight I think Rhonda has right now is when Joanna moves up in class. We shall see.

    If Cyborg stops with the steroids, cutting 10 pounds shouldn't be that hard.

    Love me some Rousey : http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mma...0-knockout-victory/ar-BBlk9Ca?ocid=spartandhp

    Also from http://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/mma...ps-taking-steroids/ar-BBlkpUc?ocid=spartandhp :


    Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino fights in Invicta because, at 145 pounds, there’s no women’s division for her in UFC. But Rousey is ready to fight Cyborg if she can get on the UFC champ's level.

    “I’m prepared to deal with anything,” Rousey said, per FOXSports.com. “That’s why I’m the champ. I fight in the UFC 135 pound division. She can fight at 145 pumped full of steroids, and she can make weight just like everybody else without them.”

    I think it would be a better fight then anything else out there right now. Joanna has legit world champion muay thai. That isn't something to be ignore. But I agree, Rhonda wins just not as going away as these other fights.

    but you also can't ignore the weight difference. Ronda would be in a completely different stratosphere power-wise unless it was at some sort of catch-weight that Ronda struggled with.

    Personally I'm not a big fan of Cyborg or Rhonda for that matter, but you, Rhonda and Dana White are conveniently leaving out one important truth; asking a fighter to move DOWN a division in weight is a lot harder than for one to move up. That especially true if the move down, is A: a whole division and B: the fighter is already normal/large for their division & has never fought or has been that light before.

    There is a reason why, when GSP and Silva were in their primes, that the proposed superfight with them was set at a catchweight or for GSP to move UP. Or when Royce Gracie fought then 170lbs champ Matt Hughs it was at the catchwieght of 175lbs.

    Cyborg has never fought at 135lb that I'm aware of in the past half decade and she is atleast to big 145lber. Dana and Rhonda requiring her to fight at 135lb is basically saying the unless she depletes herself making weight (assuming she can even do it), the fight will never happen.

    Making the fight at 140lbs would seem like a reasonable solution if all parties (UFC, Rhonda, Cyborg) really wanted this fight. And please, dont buy the excuse that the UFC doesnt do catchweights as they've already done so with Gracie vs Hughs, if not others I cant recall.

    edited for grammar.

    But while I would love to see Cyborg vs Rhonda, I'm much more excited to watch Mcgregor vs Aldo, which thankfully, barring injuries, is a fight that we will get to see happen in the next year.

    Part of being an MMA fighter is making weight. The UFC doesn't have a weight class for Cyborg, so if she wants to fight in the UFC, she has to cut weight. Simple as that.

    If she stops taking the steroids, she should be able to cut the 10 pounds necessary to fight in the UFC. If not, well, she can stay in Strikeforce until the UFC makes a women's Featherweight division.
