This is simply cyborg finding a backdoor out of a fight she doesnt want. watch the UFC wipe their hands of cyborg and start promoting the women who actually fight in the weight class. with no real competition elsewhere cyborg will quickly become irrelevant |
There is a simple solution to this problem, fight in your natural weight class and don't cut, Edgar done it, Hendo does it, Machida does it, elite fighters have this ability, it's just to gain an advantage in size/strength that leads to fighters cutting weight, also a couple of bad losses can impact the decision to drop down but IMO it's never great for a fighter to go below their usual weight category.
I say get Rousey to fight Cyborg at 140lbs catch weight, make Roidborg cut some out and Rousey bulk up a tad, hopefully we see a steroid filled arm break into pieces and see a grown man (I believe Cyborg is the old Wanderlai Silva from Pride and the MW version is another person) crying in the ring
