As indicated by Helwani's tweet, the fact that she signed weeks ago makes the Bethe fight make even less sense than before. Maybe they felt more comfortable giving Cyborg enough time to cut weight safely. Either way, if Bethe beats Rousey it will be another huge missed opportunity for UFC. The fight would probably still go down, but would have much less significance.

Rousey is now guaranteed to lose the belt. Super fights simply don't happen in the UFC.

i don't see her making weight

 

[La Paix]

Maybe an opponent for Phil Brooks? If I get to see Cyborg fight in the UFC I'll be satisfied with this. IF she fights Ronda I'll be impressed, if...

The gonna build a division round her or do they expect her to make weight at 135? This will be interesting

I think they signed her to fight in Invicta out of fear of a Carano vs Cyborg 2 in Bellator

Borg will be coming into the ring in Brazil, after Ronda throws Bethe on her head, to challenge Rousey.

You don't want to see Fallon Fox vs. Cyborg?

Dana also confirmed this weeks ago, she will carry on headlining fightpass cards in Invicta while slowly trying to move down in weight. In the meantime Zuffa will try to get Honda ready by giving her favourable match ups with striking based opponents imo.

Cyborg will not be making 135, i really think everyone knows this. Cyborg was signed so she wouldnt jump to Bellator. There isnt gonna be a fight.
