Prediction: wrong Holm   wrong Decision  

ESPN is reporting that these two will fight for the inaugural Women's FW Championship in Brooklyn. Love the fight, but ... why is Holm willing to fight GDR at 145 when she supposedly would not fight Cyborg at this weight? Makes it look more like it could be true Cyborg turned it down for some reason.

In light of this fight I'm calling women's 145 paperweight and not featherweight.

145 is a farce.  Entire division's purpose is to try and get Rhonda two belts. 

Two fight losing streak for a fighter that has NEVER fought @145, gets a title shot.

@BenjaminBrandt, Are you joking? Wow. It's fairly obvious that 145 is for Cyborg and they **** the bed with this ******** useless fight. Ronda ran away from 145 (if you had memory of that) early in her career to avoid Cyborg, 145 is not for Ronda lol.

They ******* wait forever to make a 145 class, they make Cyborg fight at 140 instead of just giving her that division in THE ******* FIRST PLACE. 

Then when Cyborg needs more time they're like, nah **** you we'll give a title shot to a girl who's on a two fight losing streak and fights at 135 and a 6-3 fighter with no big win under her belt. This just proves they have a bias against Cyborg.

This is dog****. No matter though, Cyborg will smash either of them to get her belt. **** you UFC.

Cyborg needing a few more weeks to prepare is a lame excuse not to have her in this fight. 

3 Months ago they were all "145's not gonna happen, there aren't enough good fighters" (Dana White to GLOBO, Google it, Sep. 19th) and suddenly it has to happen NOW to the fact they can't wait a couple weeks for the INVICTA champ and unanimously the best girl on the planet at the weight class?? 

I think there are two main reasons they're doing this now and like this:

1. They would love for Holly to be a champion when she rematches Ronda (which is what happens if Holly and Ronda both win their next fights).

2. They're sticking it to Cyborg because she didn't bend over again and do exactly what they want exactly when they want it.

Wow

This is f'n stupid that the ufc is gonna have a FW title before Bellator. They shoulda crowned a champ already. same with strawweight. But at least this'll stop people from saying "there's no one at womens FW"

While it's good to see a new women's division, it should have been 125.  Or even 105.  Plus Holm fighting for a title after consecutive losses is questionable.  How many women will even be in this division?  I can't even think of enough for a top ten.

Christ a 95lb division would be more competitive then this FW division. It's the UFCs attempt to make RR vs HH, champion vs champion, the biggest rematch in history, first two division womens champ.....

Why do they want to do this? Take some of Conor's power away....  best part is it isn't going to work.

Who's the bigger draw, Holly or Jose?

That should say enough to determine who the main event will be.

Cyborg doesn't move the needle, Rhonda does.  That's my point.  Rhonda doesn't want to move up, Cyborg can't move down, make a belt to sweeten the deal. 

I can't even name 10 female 145ers on the planet. 

The UFC needs Rhonda to validate that division.

No way RR fights again if she somehow, someway wins both titles. She'll retire on top, but that'll never happen.

@BenjaminBrandt, "Cyborg doesn't move the needle, Rhonda does."

Which is relevant how? It's not even arguable that that division is for Ronda when it's clearly Cyborg's division. Plus, Ronda will never fight at 145, Cyborg is there, remember that.

"That's my point."

Your point is an irrelevant red herring.

"Rhonda doesn't want to move up"

You undermined your own point, ya know.

"Cyborg can't move down, make a belt to sweeten the deal."

They should've given Cyborg the belt when she first came to the UFC instead of forcing her to cut to 140 like a bunch of biased ******s and whining about how there's no talent at 145 and Cyborg has to cut to 135. Then they make a belt for it out of two 135s, what a ****** joke the UFC is for this match making.

"I can't even name 10 female 145ers on the planet."

And half of the top 10 at 135 isn't that great either, but again, a red herring by you.

"The UFC needs Rhonda to validate that division."

That's absurd, it's like saying the 115 or 125 divisions need Ronda. No they don't. By the way, you just said she's not going to 145, so it's a moot point isn't it...
