that was just gross. Go to Japan Cyborg.

How were the prelims?

great

 

[Brinbe]

Lmfao. No one is fighting cyborg

Respect for lasting that long.

 

[darkwing-buck]

See you back at home mom. You're still a champion in my heart <3

 

[Xclash]

Wait this was for a belt???? Hell nah get Cyborg in the same weight class with Amanda Nunes.

Cyborg couldn't even make it to 135 for the money fight with Ronda.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

One day we'll get Gabi Garcia vs. Cyborg and it'll be the greatest shit ever.

 

[-MD-]

this seemed like a HORRIBLY mismatched fight, what happened?

It's a Cyborg fight.

 

[Hidden One]

Thats one amazing beard.

 

[Altazor]

remember Ronda Rousey? No? Neither does the UFC.

remember when people thought Ronda Rousey could definitely beat Cyborg?

 

[BadAss2961]

Violence.

Evinger's one tough woman though.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Tonya Evinger has the quickness of modern day Tonya Harding.

 

[parrotbeak]

great

Cool, I'll track them down later. Did you watch the FP ones too?

 

[broz0rs]

Evinger didn't really initiate offense and looked to counter Cyborg the whole time, but that was as one-sided as it can get. I'm really happy Cyborg FINALLY gets her UFC gold.

 

[Rumblebones]

De Randamie could probably have done better in this fights but Evinger stepped up in a big way.

 

[Kelsdesu]

A champion of nothing. Nobody is gonna fight her.

 

[TastyBread]

Cyborg is such trash. Can't wait for a proper contender to destroy her.

Tbh even though she went vs a human punching bag, Cyborg looked so sharp and fast, throwing frequently and still looking fresh in the 3rd round. She's a beast

 

[serenewarfare]

this seemed like a HORRIBLY mismatched fight, what happened?

There is no one at 145.

The skill level is as shallow as a puddle.

Except Cyborg.

Think Lebron playing against AAU kids.

 

[Syder]

Wait this was for a belt???? Hell nah get Cyborg in the same weight class with Amanda Nunes.

Cyborg can't fight at 135lbs. The weight cut is lethal for her.

 

[parrotbeak]

remember Ronda Rousey? No? Neither does the UFC.

remember when people thought Ronda Rousey could definitely beat Cyborg?

Nah, people thought Ronda would beat Mayweather but I don't remember people saying she could beat Cyborg.

 

[ldcommando]

Cool, I'll track them down later. Did you watch the FP ones too?

yes. Everything was great. Definitely worth a watch

 

[Beatofficer]

Did Evinger land a single significant blow?

 

[serenewarfare]

If Cyborg could cut to 135, there would be interesting matchups.

But she can't.

 

[parrotbeak]

Evinger didn't even get to kiss her.

 

[Rumblebones]

LMAO AT ORTIZ, I JUST CAN'T.

 

[Heroman]

So why did they make a weight class for one person?

 

[Fox318]

Tito back in the cage is odd

 

[NH Apache]

LMAO AT ORTIZ, I JUST CAN'T.

cocaine is a motherucker

 

[Yaari]

So now we have a division with absolutely nobody else in it. And Cyborg is the champion. How exciting.

 

[FUME5]

There are none.

Give it time and money.

 

[Rawr Its Ry]

Waaaait is she and Tito a couple?

 

[ldcommando]

I want Maia to backpack his way into a belt. It would be glorious

 

[Dysun]

So now we have a division with absolutely nobody else in it. And Cyborg is the champion. How exciting.

Still better than Flyweight

 

[serenewarfare]

So why did they make a weight class for one person?

She would draw if she went to Bellator.

UFC doesn't want them to have her.

 

[NomarTyme]

So now we have a division with absolutely nobody else in it. And Cyborg is the champion. How exciting.

If you built it they'll come.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

So why did they make a weight class for one person?

So she would sign with the UFC.

 

[LeroyPantwether]

So why did they make a weight class for one person?

Worked out okay when they did it for ronda.

 

[broz0rs]

I don't think we should dismiss future Cyborg fights. I mean if we can enjoy Bellator fights where Rory is going to dismantle no names challenging him, then why not Cyborg?

 

[alr1ght]

Waaaait is she and Tito a couple?

He's her manager

 

[FUME5]

I don't think we should dismiss future Cyborg fights. I mean if we can enjoy Bellator fights where Rory is going to dismantle no names challenging him, then why not Cyborg?

Because this isn't supposed to be the B league.

 

[serenewarfare]

I think Holly is pretty much the only one with a chance to give Cyborg a fight. Even that is not much. Her standup is good enough and she won't have to worry about takedowns. Not that Cyborg can't take her down, but she probably wouldn't try.

 

[parrotbeak]

Worked out okay when they did it for ronda.

There are lots of fighters at 135 women. Very few real 145ers.

 

[BadAss2961]

Imagine if... Ronda took the fight now at 145?

Would spell a total disaster for her, but they could make a lot of money.

 

[Yaari]

If you built it they'll come.

With Cyborg as champion? I think they rather try to lose 10 extra pounds and fight in 135 instead.

 

[Syder]

So why did they make a weight class for one person?

Cyborg was getting a lot of attention outside of UFC, she was decimating people. UFC wanted to bring that attention to their program but the whole venture has been a disaster.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

That was a better and longer fight than I thought it was going to be. Cyborg is going to rule for a while!

 

[RBelong2Us]

lol! I knew Manuwa would get slept. I just feel stupid for not putting more money on that easy bet.

Nearly 40...no chin.

 

[Hidden One]

I don't see why it's hard for cyborg to lose 10 pounds

 

[Jmanunknown]

A champion of nothing. Nobody is gonna fight her.

Amanda Nunes and Holly Holm both could give her trouble if they had a good gameplan.

 

[HabeeNo]

Maia time

 

[serenewarfare]

I don't see why it's hard for cyborg to lose 10 pounds

Because it's already hard enough for her to cut to 145.

She cuts from close to 200.

 

[alr1ght]

God I hope Maia wins. Probably won't.

Hopefully he still comes out to Linkin Park.

edit: yep. RIP
