@mike i dunno where the thumbs came from but i still don't think WMMA is anywhere near ready for the UFC.  Tate and Rousey are ready, but after about 10 female fighters the talent pool drops off of a cliff.  UFC needs a lot of fighters to run divisions.

I don't think I'm hating on her saying if she eats a shot from Cyborg like she did Tate with her chin up she's going to go to sleep...I think Rousey destroys Kaufman

Really people arguing if Cyborg would be a threat to Rousey is a true testament to what a badass Ronda is.....

@rorshach you my friend where just right twice in your last post. After the last PPVs being almost ruined for me because I was polarized in the main events I am trying to watch fights a little less biased.

@Kallous we will see, because that fights definitely gonna happen. I just firmly believe without her testosterone shots and having to cut down a weight class when she has to kill herself to make 145, that she's going to be little more then a grappling dummy for Rousey come fight time.

@ror Cyborg is not moving down. If anything Rousey will move up. Santos barely makes 145. She can't make 135.

Well, if Cyborg can't make 145 Ronda has nothing to be worried about. :P

I don't agree about the testosterone but I agree about the weight cut. Cyborg is known for her relentless pace but a weight cut would hurt her cardio and leave her unable to fight at her usual pace.

@ror didn't rousey say she would move back up to 145 to fight santos after she won the 135 title to fight santos for the 145 title so it would be a bigger fight

Would they let her keep the 135 title and fight for the other one too?

@905 yes she did but that was also before the positive PED test, so really who knows what will happen now. if history is any indication, cyborg will serve her suspension and then Zuffa will welcome her back.  but it's a long suspension, so we'll just have to see what happens between now and then.

@zarog Rousey holds all the cards and is the new BW champ, she will make Cyborg come to her, Santos is the one that really needs the fight now. Ronda I'm sure would be just fine defending her title against whoever, breakin arms and cashing checks, making plenty of money. If she agrees to fight Santos she gonna give herself every advantage, whether it be a straight up title defense of a catchweight (probably 140 lbs.) bout, but she's not gonna go up and give Cyborg the clear advantage. The champion and new face of women's mma holds all the bargaining chips homie.
