Fantastic. You said what I said only you got snotty about it.

That should be singular. Only one fighter saw the 4th round against Cyborg, and it was for an entire 58 seconds before getting knocked out. She was able to last this long due to her running away method. If I remember correctly, she landed about 20 punches that entire fight.

She tested positive one time, and the appropriate action was taken. Since then, she's had extended testing and has passed with flying colors each time. People see a lethal weapon inside the octagon who hits like Foreman and people have to assume that she isn't clean.

He's never fought in the UFC?

So rousey could beat most of the men at her weight but they won't let her fight cyborg unless she gets to 135?


Ducking.


Not saying cyborg would just walk through her but it's the only competition.

<a href="https://imgflip.com/i/ia6ep"><img src="https://i.imgflip.com/ia6ep.jpg" title="made at imgflip.com"/></a>

Yes but NOW they are working to clean it up with more testing.

LMAO

Urine test before a fight and blood test after for every single fighter last night was a precedent.

I guess I don't really care if XX did XX XX years ago. I don't know a whole lot about steroids, but the people that take them generally have to keep taking them.

So test clean for a year, we'll see you on TUF.

If you were on TRT then yes you need it for life basically. Guys running 12-16 week cycles dont need it technically but imagine its much more difficult to compete physically and mentally without the drugs if you compteted on them before.

What did I miss?

The F'ing division is 135 pounds, not 145. Why should they make a weird exception for her?

If she can't make weight at 135 pounds, then too bad. No one is ducking Cyborg, you can't even credibly make that claim. She simply is not an available opponent for anyone to even talk about unless she can make weight.

Oh, and that fight last night was hilarious. At the place I watched it, we thought we had it all broken down, Cat has better striking, Ronda is better at everything else, if Cat can keep her distance, get out of the clinch, and make it a boxing match maybe she has a chance..... the only thing we hadn't accounted for is the possibility that Cat might be reeruned.

"Yeehah, I'ma gonna go rassle Rousey! Woops, she's got my arm, oh no!"

Dolce says no reason she cant make 135.

http://www.bjpenn.com/exclusive-mike...hamp-mma-news/

There is zero reason she would not be able to. Cat was 146 one week ago. They always weigh in much lower than their carry weight. All water weight.

Like zero chance?

Hah.

Cyborg's fighting weight is about 170, and she walks around heavier than that. I'll believe she can cut to 135 for the weigh-in without looking like a sick weakened pile of shit, only when it happens.

Dolce said when he met with her she was walking around at 168.

“What she was weighing- I think she was weighing 168 the day we sat down- and she hadn’t been training. She was on vacation, she was handling business, she wasn’t eating very well; she was 168 pounds. I said, “well listen Cris, if I just get you on my diet, that 168’s going to pretty quick turn into 158. We start training pretty hard, that 158’s going to get into the low-150’s, we’re going to touch the high-140’s before we start the three-week weight cut’- you know, three weeks before a fight.”

THIS IS SPARTA

hahahaha she has her name tattooed on her arm. Do steroids cause memory loss?

Where???

She fight at 145lb. Where do you get 170?

Implants count?

Such a sexy arm bar.

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v...type=2&theater

Sorry it's a FB video.

I thought he was saying after she rehydrates after weigh in, but 25lb's seems a bit high.

Adjustable breasts...

http://www.breastimplantsusa.com/dr/...cles/ex-02.jpg

145 is what she weighs in at. Fighting weight is what you are when you walk into the cage.

She is not putting 25lbs on in 24 hours.

Granted this is over 2 years ago but she's just 2 years older now.

http://www.mmaweekly.com/doctors-sho...re-in-jeopardy

That is just an excuse as to why they are not fighting. Cris is 5'8". Her frame can do 135. Cris wants it at 145 to get Rousey to add weight and slow herself down.

I'm creeping at 5'7" and carry 125 with little muscle. People are built differently. Why you insist on broad sweeping statements when you haven't so much as seen her in person is bizarre to me. I see no reason why she should sicken herself to drop down.

You people really think there aren't some behemoth women starting their MMA training in gyms as we speak? I can't go 25 minutes in Denver without an MMA gym being advertised to me. So boo hoo if Cris can't fight at 135 now. Just wait a few minutes.

No reason why any of the few athletes we have in the industry change their preferred weight class just to satisfy the voracious appetitite of a mob.

And I ****ing hated it when BJ ate all those donuts and went up.

Stupid stupid stupid.

No offense but I will trust the opinion of actual fighters that I know over yours.

None taken, I've seen your track record.

So you are saying i am full of shit? ;-)

No, no, I know your kind. I will sit prettily in the corner and gush over how hot you are.

You are, you know.

If Dolce said she could do it easily I'd probably go with his opinion.

Her cardiologist disagrees.

Id be interested to know why. I remember when Cormier wasnt supposed to medically be able to cut to 205.

Me too. I'd love to see Ronda tested in a fight.

I spent $50 on 14 seconds. It's like I'm in a strip club again.

What is creeping at 5'7" really? 5'5" :evil:

If they really both wanted to fight they would figure out a way.

I'm only 1/2 little. The other 1/2 is raping pillaging Viking.

LMAO.

I was just giving you shit. My wife says she is 5'8". I'm exactly 5'8" and she is a half inch shorter than me.

Some times the smaller guy wins...

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/r5--6ujEnpo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Pics or GTFO!

ALL Asians pad their height when giving a number. My mother insists she's 5'0". She's not. When I married psycho behemoth I used to say I was 5'8" because at 6'6" I was still barely at his nipples.

Now I'm dating my own little version of Native at 5'8" and I have never padded my 5'7". In fact I have to wonder if I've even rounded down. And if I further go down this stupid rabbit hole to wonder why I do that it has to be something to do with padding his ego.

God I had introspection on Chiefs Planet.

As Chris Rock once said, we could have all the evidence in the world, but we want the confession.

Anderson Silva is reportedly going to admit to using PED's. As expected, he's going to say that he felt he had to do it only to recover from his horrific leg fracture. (which may be understandable, but rules are rules) He's probably hoping for leniency from the NSAC. He's probably going to claim he never used PED's before and only used them just this once for recovering from the injury.

If they are going to fight it will have to be at 135. That is the only female weight division UFC is interested in.

Except straw weight

Even if they had a 145 division, the challenger always has to come to the champion. Champions should never be expected to chase anyone.

I want to see some big fatty women rolling around in a cage. Need a HW division.

Paging Hawk!

Not me. The only reason why smaller fighters are interesting to me is because of the speed and skill level. I expect knockout power out of the big slow heavyweights.

If the average fighter in a division is slow, less-skilled, AND has no knockout power, then I'm out.

cyborg a few days ago

With jeans? After breakfast? So probably about 170 first thing in the morning naked...ewww

What is really annoying to me about this whole Cyborg thing is that I don't think it would be a particularly close fight, especially at 135. She punches hard with the help of PED's. OK, whatever, we've seen no indication at all that she would avoid getting thrown or taken down and then submitted. Right now, she's beating up on undersized opponents who should be bantamweights, while Cyborg is on the very large end of 145. Her only chance against Rousey would be landing some wild unlikely shot before the clinch. I don't think the fight "needs to happen".

If the fight did happen though, it would be nice if so many idiots bet on Cyborg that we got good odds on Rousey.

Cyborg is a name that people know and it's the money fight, which is why it needs to happen. Of course in the fight game, that means that sometimes it doesn't happen if promoters don't want to take a chance at killing their goose. Ronda will end up fighting Holly Holm in October or something and beat her in 90 secs.

Rousey would need a body bag after 2 rounds with Cyborg. Come on alnorth!

I bet Rousey makes a shit ton more doing movies than the UFC pays her.

If Mile 22 is successful and she starts getting paid big money to play leading roles in action movies, then she'll probably retire as an undefeated champion. She'd be crazy to keep fighting once it is established that she has an opportunity to make millions in Hollywood.

She's not there yet though, if the movie bombs then she'll just get small roles.

Early estimates for the PPV, which aside from Rousey was a decimated crappy card, are about 650k-700k buys.

Holy shit. That is insane.

I think we can put that whole "Rousey isn't a draw, no one likes women's MMA" thing to bed.

edit: Rousey is reportedly going to get about an extra $1MM because of the PPV buys.

How much of that is before they cancelled Weidman/Belfort?

Just saying...

Uhhh.... Almost zero.

These are PPV buys, not ticket sales. Almost all PPV buys are purchased day of, and what little that isn't day of is week of. I'm not even sure if you could order the PPV when the card lost Weidman.

Some people had been pointing at Weidman as the reason for selling out Staples, but the PPV buys are harder to explain away.

My mistake, thought it was ticket sales.

Where did those numbers come from?

Wrestling observer.

Also, the peripheral numbers were very good. For ratings the 184 prelims were the 3rd-highest in the FS1 era. 222,000 people watched the Friday weigh-in which is the 2nd-highest for a FS1 UFC weigh-in trailing only the 168 weigh-in.

There wasn't even a particular "must see" fight on the prelims was there...? Crazy.

Wouldn't be shocked if Holm never has the chance to fight Ronda. I was definitely not impressed. Doubt she makes it past Meisha.

Holm is far off.

http://www.bjpenn.com/rousey-vs-holm...ite-says-fast/

With GSP and Silva done she might be the biggest star in MMA.

Maybe in the mainstream, but definitely not in the UFC circle.

Right. I meant to Joe Public.

The Notorious Conor McGregor might surpass her in the public eye if he wins the title.

He's my boyfriend's current favorite.

Still a little obnoxious for me.

But I imagine he'll age.

There's a rumor that the reason why Burt Watson retired after 184 is because he got into a big argument with someone in Ronda's entourage, Dana White sided with Ronda's team over Burt, and that offended Burt Watson to the point that he walked off and called it a career.

Or if Brock comes back. He is by far the biggest draw

I put this spreadsheet together, maybe it'll be interesting to others here besides me.

The first tab has data that you could just simply look up on the internet, but I put this workbook together so that in the 2nd tab I could visualize how long old champions reigned (makes GSP and Silva look even more impressive), and when were the high points for various nations. (Brazil's peak was late 2010/early 2011, and the USA is peaking right now)

Everyone on the main card made weight. Showtime this weekend. Hendricks really looked in great shape, he usually has trouble making weight, but he looked ripped. Also a nice heavyweight fight on the card.

http://mmanuts.com/wp-content/upload...wn-350x200.jpg

Yeah this card looks good.

Hendricks and Brown walking out now. FOTN candidate here.

That was the worst fight lol
