    Ronda Rousey Finally Wants That UFC Superfight Against Cris Cyborg To Happen








    Ronda Rousey is the most dominant women’s champion ever in mixed martial arts. The only other fighter to come close is Cris Cyborg, who doesn’t have the lighting fast finishes Rousey does but has left a trail of bruised and battered opponents in her wake. Unfortunately, up until now the two haven’t come close to fighting yet, and for the past couple of years Ronda Rousey has set impossible conditions on the fight.
    Those conditions include Cyborg cutting down to 135 pounds, a feat even the UFC has finally accepted is probably impossible after two extremely difficult weight cuts for Cris down to a 140 pound catchweight. And now UFC president Dana White is making it sound like Ronda Rousey is coming around to that reality as well.
    “Ronda wants to fight her,” White said on the latest episode of UFC Unfiltered. “We’ll have to figure out at what weight to fight. But Ronda wants that fight.”
    White also confirmed that Rousey would still have to cut down to reach 140 pounds, as she formerly competed between 140 and 155 pounds in judo. Her early MMA days were also contested at 145 pounds, the division Cyborg is currently the Invicta champion of.

    Rousey is afraid of the Cyborg; if she wasn't, she would've agreed to fight at 145-150 long ago.

    The UFC claims they don't have enough women to start a weight class over 135,
    but the need to open it up is hurting them.

    Let Rousey fight Cyborg, allow them to both weight what they are comfortable at !

    Then more will come.

    Asking Cyborg to fight at 135 is terribly unfair to her.

    Rousey, along with all women fighters, is a joke. Anyone that even watches that garbage doesn't know what hacks they are.

    Hoo boy, finally took the bait on the Cyborg scam.

    Well, at least there's no chance in hell of it taking place in Brazil. Wheels down, USADA.

    Asking Cyborg to fight at 135 is terribly unfair to her.
    It is, however, fair for her to fight women up to 30 lbs lighter then her, under the pretense that they're even remotely the same size, and after years of anabolic steroid abuse has given her the muscle fiber consistency of a man.

    But I can enjoy a narrative and neither of these people are particularly admirable so f*** it.

    I hope Rousey doesn't come out of retirement just to fight Cyborg in some big circus match. She needs to reclaim her belt at 135 first.

    Seems like she wants to get out. Why else would she take the most dangerous fight after such a long layoff? While she still has star power among casuals they should feed her some soccer moms to build her momentum up. 1+ million PPV buys with her as the main event is no joke.

    Is Rousey even in fighting shape these days? She's probably weighing in around 200 pounds if I had to guess.. She always was a fat girl just screaming to come out.

    I don't think rousey or anyone with a shot at the 135 belt will fight cyborg. I hope one of the top 5 in that division would step up once they realize the belt isn't gonna happen. Nunes Holm Tate shevchenko. If not fighting for title or number one contender spot. should def fight cyborg. That would be their biggest payday. And if cyborg crushes them they can always say they were undersized and 135 is their real division
