Sandro looked lackluster and if his opponent didn't keep grabbing the fence, he would have lost.

The Sandro fight was bullshyt. Sandro is at the tail end of his career imo. That fight was a draw and should have gone to extra round.

Also that Russian Frodo seemd like a mean nasty little motherfukker. If he good cardio he could go somewhere.

Bellator has done a great job in picking up Russian talent.

Looks like cyborg wants to be released :lolbron:

Cris Cyborg Asks for Release from UFC, Abandons Ronda Rousey Superfight | Bleacher Report


BREAKING - Cyborg Asks to Be Released From the UFC - YouTube


I can't stand ronda rousey,


Save_us_GinaCarano :blessed:



nah but throw that womens division in the bushes:birdman:

The real question is, will the UFC grant the release?

The UFC 135lb female division including Ronda are doing this after hearing this news

:krs::stylin::dj2:




The women over at Invicta. :ohlawd::damn::snoop::sadcam:


Dana said this a few days ago



“If that’s what (Cyborg) is willing to do, is go to 140, let Rhonda defend her title a few times and see if Rhonda wants to go to 140,” White told mmaweekly.com on Thursday.

“If I know Rhonda, she probably would anyway. If (Cyborg) wants to fight for a title, she’s gotta go to 135 pounds. The fight at 140 would be a fan fight because everybody wants to see it, but it’s not one of those fights that makes sense.”


I think the bottom line is they want to see if Ronda is a PPV draw, soon enough they will make this fight happen to save WMMA in the UFC, it's the only fight that matters

Gina can barely make 145 much less 135 so I doubt she fights Ronda unless its at 140...besides Cyborg stole her soul..she's not coming back anytime soon


Marloes and some other WMMA fight for the inaugural 145lb belt in Invicta, I assume the winner of that fight gets to welcome Cyborg into Invicta



Another little nugget

“
My first pro fight, we were searching everywhere and I was offered a fight against Ronda at a catch-weight of 140 (pounds),” McMann said. “Monte (Cox) called me and I said I would take it because I really couldn’t find an opponent. I thought, ‘Another Olympic medalist, she’s going to step up to the plate.’ Then he called me back and said, ‘They’re really trying to talk her into it, her managers and her trainers, and she just keeps refusing the fight.’ I was really shocked by that because I’ve even seen video of her calling out Cyborg (Santos) and calling out Gina Carano and saying she wasn’t impressed woman’s MMA. I was like, ‘What’s this girl doing?’”

Its seems kind of strange that she can get to 140 but not 135.Tito talkin about all that female stuff like having a family just makes females look like 2nd class citizens that dont belong in sport.Its like the age old saying that a woman cant be president cuz there will be that one day where she has that time of the month.Cut that shyt out 5lbs isnt going to burst her ovaries

on another note tho it situations like this that makes me miss sf, if zuffa never bought the org best believe this wud have taken place at 145.Dana/co are beginning to build a rep for lettin big fights slip from under them.First it was anderson/gsp, then brock/fedor now cyborg/rousey

i dont think its strange, reportly she cuts from 170 to make 145

whats the point of making her cut to 135 when she'll be drained and unable to fight?

i mean rousy fought at 150 for judo right?

ufc needs this fight, the womens divison is irrelevant without that fight, there isnt enough depth. dana cant even bribe gina to return to mma with her acting career taking off
