what did Ronda say? "Don't Cry!"

Anyways you are an Irish kid from the looks of it so we've both probably been hit in the head too much and drank too much.

Listen boy, you like to talk a big game but it's just quite sad. Stop believing your own hype.

I do not get why people think Ronda should move up to fight Cyborg and not the other way around

Because they were in the same weight class and Ronda moved down. If you do that, and then talk a lot of smack about the other person, it looks like maybe you shouldn't have moved down to avoid that person. Add to that the fact that Ronda has said she'd go to 145 to fight Carano, but she won't do it for Cyborg.

Rhonda fought at the higher weight before and it a catch weight be thrown around which she and Dana are really against.

But the weight class for women now in the UFC is 135. She is the champ at 135 not 145 and should not have move up in weight to face a challenger. It is on the challenger to meet the champ.

I was once a good wrestler before I got old and gained weight!
Now I can just lift a lot of weight and take rest periods, lol.

I'd be like early Anthony Johnson.

Lol. It happens to a lot of people.

Sure, that would make sense if Ronda didn't spend so much time talking about Cyborg and how she'd beat her. She's said she'd beat her at 145, if that's the case then go prove it. If not, then shut up about it.

ROFL!!!!
Carano was a mediocre at best kick boxer who happened to be pretty and had family money/connections.
She was scared to death in the ring with Cyborg... I know I watched the fight.
Comparing that with Ronda is hilarious.
Ronda has fought her entire life and did so as am amateur with nothing but medals on the line.
She is a true athlete.

Put your glasses on and read what I said. I said Gina is a credible win for Cyborg, didn't compare Gina to Ronda.

Bethe is no where near a credible opponent for Ronda. Her opposition was 1-7 ?

Ronda has fought at 145 and at 150 for most of her career. Point made. She can make the weight. She sits at that weight. She knows by making Cyborg go down to 135 to fight, she is avoiding that fight because she won't make that weight. Simple as that.

Nope ..... she is trying to make sure she is off the juice ....... all that Sterborg has to do is get off the roids and make the weight. Simple as that.

I am convinced that you don't know much about human physiology lol.

You think that Cyborg is currently fighting in Invicta which is tightly partnered and under Zuffa without having drug testing? Once you pop for steroids you generally are testing a little more strictly.

Just a thought.

But that was doesn't make sense. The UFC doesn't have a weight class higher than 135? The invent one. Who will complain? If it's between Dana and Rousey to make the call, than just say it's a one off at 140 thats not for the title. All these hurdles.seem to be self imposed.

So they should make up a new weight class for one person ....... then have the champ of the current womens champion move up to fight one chick.

Brilliant ....

Well that champ has already said she'd move up to 145 to fight Gina Carano, so she's willing to move up to fight one chick. She just wants to pick a different chick. The chick the champ wants to fight at 145 was already destroyed by Cyborg when she was in her prime and hasn't fought in the years since then.

If she could do easy as you say then why not just get it done for the sake of the biggest pay day of her life? Tito Ortiz has come out and said she is working towards it. As for the silverback comment, she is really not that big.

You seem not to understand she is the 135 lb. champion in the UFC. She can only fight other 135 lb. fighters in the UFC.

Here's an idea. If Cyborg wants to take on Rousey, drop to 135 and there's a clear path from Invicta to the UFC to make that fight happen. Why would the champion even want to make an exception and leave her weight class for a steroid abuser who isn't even in the promotion? This makes no sense to me. It's on the she-male to come to the champion. The champ never goes to the contender.

I think she could knock Rousey out. Potentially. But if Ronda gets her hands on her the fight is over. She will destroy him on the ground. It would be as lopsided as this last fight.

Ronda Rousey-
“I have to think about what sends the right message,” she said. “I’m not going to do backflips for a cheating con artist. And to be honest, if you can make 145 juiced the **** up on steroids, you can get off of them and move down. This chick, her whole life, has had advantages that she didn’t earn.”

“Of course I would (win at 135, even if she was 145). Would I do that? No. She’d have to make 135 just like everybody else, and would have to be clean just like everybody else. There’s no reason she should get a special set of rules just because she cheated for a long time and got a reputation.”

Because Gina Carano is not a cheater ...... she would give her special consideration if Carano wanted to fight ...... which she does not.
