I don't know what Ronda is going to do to find competition/Money Cards other than stepping up to fight cyborg. Maybe fight Mayweather? With no takedowns for the first round or something lol. | ||

Cyborg is the only realistic threat to Rousey's title reign. Nice to hear Dana is not going to rush Holly Holm into a title shot. | ||

But I watched the post-fight press conference, and Dana is dodging Cyborg questions like bullets in the matrix. Did nobody have the guts to ask about a catchweight fight? I know Cyborg has at least one more fight with Invicta and Ronda needs to beat the stupid out of Bethe Correia... and apparently Jessica Eye, who thinks she somehow earned a title shot for... some reason. | ||

No point in asking about a catchweight. Dana isn't willing. "Champions don't chase people." Ronda will take time off, Cyborg will try to drop and take the invicta 135 belt and then we will get our fight. We'll probably get Ronda/Correia before then, too. I was really starting to have doubts about whether or not Cyborg could hang with Ronda, but having seen them both fight for (lol) a minute this weekend I still think it's an awesome fight. Cyborg will meet her, but won't fucking bum rush her like Leeroy Jenkins. Rousey has been known to eat a shot or two coming inside throwing punches to set up the clinch and toss, Cyborg has mean and accurate counters. Cyborg will be the first woman who can hit Rousey hard enough to cause any sort of disruption to coming inside, imo. I don't think Cyborg can withstand a toss if she does get grabbed, though...and then it's bad news. I'd love to see a ground battle between these two, just to see what sort of BJJ game Cyborg has. | ||

I think all Cyborg does is come forward at people. I can't imagine her having a 'conservative' approach to anyone. As for her not-so-literally chasing the champion, if Rousey really wanted the fight, she would fight Cyborg at any weight, any day, any time. At first, I was sort of in agreement with the points White and Rousey would make about Cyborg needing to make weight, but now it's feeling more and more like ducking. There's no "Let's make this thing happen" attitude that Dana White has for so many other potential 'big' fights. I think the unspoken implication here is that without steroids, Cristiane Justino can't make the weight. I mean, when I hear Cyborg talk, it's so manly that I'm like "How much hormones did you take, woman!?" | ||

Dana is delusional if he thinks a 135 woman putting an arm bar on someone is as exciting to the casual fan as a Mike Tyson knock out. | ||

when rhonda does that to opponents larger than her then we can start comparing her to Tyson. Dana is a promoter. He is doing a great job promoting his fighters. | ||
