I think if rousey got Cyborgs arm it would be over (lol youre welcome -sincerely cpt obvious) but would be really worried about Ronda getting KO'd

@hybrid to disguise the fact that I completly  forgot about Carano I'll (how the hell did I do that?) say that Zuffa didn't own Strikeforce back then.
Damn I need a filter on my keyboard or read the **** that I type before I post it one, sorry it was a long night at work.

I think she is really sweet, she's just trying to act tough, I don't blame her for that. I think she's a nice person though

I'm not convinced Cyborg would murder her.  All it takes is one sequence where Cyborg gets taken down, and she too will have her arm ripped off.

However it will be much more dangerous for Rousey to get that takedown with a much greater chance of her being KTFO'd before she gets it. 

It's definitely the big money fight for 18 months from now.

Cyborg has significant submission grappling experience, where she has performed very well.  That, combined with her striking and physicality would probably make for a rough night for Ms. Rousey.   Well see if that fight even ends up happening though.  I'm not sure it will.

Rousey needs to clean up her striking for sure to step in there in Cyborg...She's not taking those shots she took from Tate with her chin up from Cyborg

Cris Cyborg powerbombed Tito Ortiz in training. I don't see her having any trouble with Rousey.

Cyborg would certainly not murder her, Rousey's a world class athlete and would one of Cyborg's gargantuan limbs home with her.

Cyborg is alot bigger and stronger than Tate. She may not have her wrestling ability but she has raw power and strength. She can push the pace on Ronda.

She's had5 fights guys geez, gives the girl a break. Tate talked non-stop trash about her experience, which doubled Rousey's and it was **** as well. Not to mention when Borg comes back she's gonna be off the juice and have to drop down a weight class. I'm really not worried, there is nobody in women's mma right now (including Cyborg) that can beat Rousey even if she only used grappling. Wait till she's 10 fights deep into her career, when her striking is average just like every other female mixed martial artist (including Cyborg.) Ya'll just don't like her ****iness and attitude and are letting it cloud your judgement, which I can totally understand, kinda like I am with GSP. Unless someone gets very lucky a la Matt Serra, she's gonna be collecting body parts for the rest of her career.

Cyborg is gonna have to cut off a leg to make 135 even off the juice, shes gonna be so weak from trying to make weight she'll be a sitting duck for Ronda. You keep forgetting Santos is not gonna be the uber-beast she was before, they took for roids away.

@ror, I dislike her attitude and yes I almost let that cloud my judgment when thinking of Rousey-Kaufman. I just remembered how Coenen armbarred Kaufman out of nowhere but Cyborg is a definite threat to Rousey.
