Invicta FC 13: Cyborg vs. Fan Duin Discussion Thread

Invicta kicks off an amazing MMA weekend in style a little early, as Invicta FC 13 touches down in Vegas Thursday night with 7 bouts. 

The fighters are weighed in and everyone hit the mark. 

The entire card streams on UFC Fight Pass at 11pm ET. 

Enjoy!

That was a weird event I guess

Too bad Shafir got wrecked It would be fun Cyborg destroying Rondas best friend

Ronda and Cyborg should buy Bellator and use their self promoted fight to take over the world

Speaking of Coenen, why didn't the UFC ever try and sign her to a contract and have her fight Rousey?  That surely would be an amazing fight;  especially considering how, prior to Rousey's reign of dominance, Coenen was the top fighter in the Women's 135 division.

@Cthulhu, I think you're underestimating a) Ronda's striking at this stage of her career b) the kind of character that Ronda is and Cyborg isn't (juicing is a sign of weakness and lack of belief in yourself that Ronda simply doesn't have and c) the fact that Ronda's grappling isn't good nor is it great, it's from another world.

Ronda has a good chin, she's WAY stronger than she looks and she's just got too many tools that Cyborg doesn't have.

I personally would rather see the fight at 140 at the lowest, but if by any chance it happens at 135 without Cyborg dying in the sauna that's just another advantage that Ronda has over Cyborg. Not that I think she needs it, but it's still a major advantage.

Cyborg has brute strength, but for a girl like Ronda she's going to be too easy to read, she's too aggressive to not get caught up in a clinch and tossed where she'll be dispatched of fast. Technique over brute strength any day.

Coenen didn't like the cut to 135. Said she'd never fight at that weight again. Also there's some beef between her Zuffa. They ended up cutting her when they took over StrikeForce.

It's between her gym that she used to go to, Golden Glory. 

Then I guess our only disagreement is on how well Ronda will fair in the striking part of the fight and since my opinion's based mainly on Ronda's character, my gut feeling and that sweet short right she cracked Alexis Davis with to put her to sleep before the whole toss-neck crank-face demolition sequence occured I don't have anything to counter you with.

As for the weakness of mind ... I see Cyborg as a Tyson character, she's a scared little girl inside a crazy wrecking machine's body. That's what makes her so dangerous and that'll eventually make her crumbling point a tad closer than Ronda's.

Again, I have absolutely no proof for my theory, just a feeling I get from her, when she talks and a few other psychological tell-tales I notice in her. I'm most definitely not a psychologist, but I tend to see those things in people, so I guess only time will tell if I'm on the money or talking out of my ass.

I'm not even a Rousey fan and it took me a while to understand her greatness, but I'm a full believer in it these days and Cyborg seems mentaly fragile to me (I know, it sounds weird, but that's how I see it).

@yossgold

I agree with most of what you said, but at least before the UFC's new drug policy was created, juicing was merely a sign that you wanted to battle your opponent on even conditions.

I knew I shouldn't have picked that garbage bag Marina Shafir.

Fast win for Cyborg. No surprise there.
