True. I just look at how Ronda reacted last night when things didn't go her way, and the leather started coming...and think Cris would be a handful for her.
What would Cyborg do to Rousey?
- Thread starter Wild
- Start date
Cyborg doesn't have Holly's footwork. She's not able to duplicate Holly's game plan. Nobody at 135 can duplicate it.
I think they'd be two bulls colliding, rather than a bull and a matador. Holm was leading Rousey to the right and then changing direction to walk her onto the straight left. Cyborg just walks forward and throws violence. Might crush Rousey or might play right into her game plan
Holly frustrated Ronda by making her run after her and then sniping her with jabs and low kicks as she got close. Nobody likes getting hit in the face, especially when you try to hit back and the person isn't there.
I agree, she needs to fight Holms...the best in the world
Agreed but hey no title on the line now so why not make the 140? The excuse of the belt is no longer available.
The best in the world being in the UFC not Invicta. Yes Holm is the best in the world right now.
Ok so now lets ask ourselves this... with no excuse of the 135 lb belt, why not lets see rousey and cyborg at 140? hey its been done before silva/diaz just recently.... explain why that isnt a good fight the best in the workd...right?
Because Ronda isn't the best in the world anymore. You said it. The fight made sense when they were both destroying people. With all the excuses Cyborg has made over the years and Ronda looking horrible and losing the title. I doubt too many people care about that fight anymore. If it happens, it happens but a golden opportunity was missed.
Diaz wasnt the best in the world but the UFC was hell bent on making that fight. So lets pony up make the fight at 140 and rock and roll
We'll see. Ronda is going to be gone for a long time. By the time she gets back Cyborg might already be at 135.
Nah i think the goal of 135 is about over now. I dont see nor seen her ever making 135.
Also, Dana said the next women's division they'll be adding is a 125 lb division. Looking at how much bigger Holm was compared to Ronda, I could see Ronda dropping down another weight class. I wouldn't want her to do it before fighting Cyborg though because everyone would say she ran.
Well i dont think we will ever see that fight to be honest im just poking you.
In before talk that Cybrog has to make 125 to challenge the champ. She can do it if she lays off the sauce. Lol
Well apparently Ronda hadn't either...
Nothing. Holm and Rousey beat Cyborg. Cyborg has no gameplan, just fury and power. Holm picks her apart from the outside and Rousey tosses her as soon as she's close enough and takes her arm home. Cyborg is a freakshow payday with a puncher's chance.
Holm beats Cyborg too and so does Cat, McMann and Tate. Cyborg is not relevant until she tests herself against the best. She can talk all she wants from the safety of a higher division with 8 total fighters in it but it's all just noise.
In before talk that Cyborg will die if she tries to make 135 lbs.
Lol Ronda fought at 145 it's been done. Have you ever done a weight cut? Its not as easy as you put it. I've done 135 to say I can make 125 is crazy.
Umm what?
Couldn't agree more with this. Cyborg is basically the striking version of Rousey, she knows how to do what she's very gifted at and how to come straight forward at her opponents. Also like Rousey, she's finished most opponents so quickly it's very hard to identify any glaring holes in her game until someone can give her a real challenge (as I believe she got the last time she fought Muay Thai and lost).
Have you had to cut weight, down to as low as you could got and try ta cut another 5 , 10 pounds? Its not easy. Cyborg is a 145er and to fight she has to cut more? Lol Hope she makes it and is healthy see what excuse comes out.
