For Smith's own well-being, I hope she isn't too durable tomorrow night.

115 had a lot of good fighters already,and has a bunch still in invicta and spread out all over the place.it was a good division and will continue to be a good division because  thats where most female mma fighters fit in sizewise much like male 155. 

They didn't build that division out of nothing,like you are implying..there is nothing at 145. Yes they could get some nobodies and promote them, but that's not even really a division right now it's so thin.

 It  would be so worthless to make that division. Cyborg weighed in at 139, she can do catchweight fights or fight at 136/135. To make an entire division,using the worst division in mma,all cause a girl doesn't wa nt to or can't cut a few more pounds is ludicrous. It's a moot point,they aren't going to make a 145 anytime soon imo,and pretty much everyone else's.

Cyborg looks extremely depleted. Smith, on the other hand, looks very healthy. Smith probably had a fun breakfast today and never stopped drinking water.

Smith is the most talented fighter Cyborg has faced since Marloes Coenen. Becasue of that and the fact that Smith is tough as nails, I'm giving her an extra round. Usually I pick Cyborg to win via KO in the 1st, but not this bout.

I thought about that too, but Leslie's used to toughing it out with chicks without fight-ending power. I think just the sheer size difference will make even someone as tough as Leslie crumble. She's not known for her speed and footwork (which I believe are necessary to beat Cyborg if you don't have Ronda's grappling).

Also, I'd rather Leslie get finished in the first than take a beating for more than one round.

That said, I do see a remote scenario where Cyborg gasses out trying to finish her and Leslie capitalizes on a gassed Cyborg in the 3rd, that would be pretty crazy to watch.
