Because it would be a cool fight, 135 is cleaned out, and it's becoming apparent that Cyborg can't make the weight

There are at least two other fights to be made before having a special match in another weight class for a fighter that isn't even in the UFC.

I'm pretty sure the equivalent of what we just saw would be flat-out walking up to Tyson the second the fight started, arms dropped and chin raised in defiance, and I'm pretty sure that never happened

Like, this was historically ridiculous

I'd say this was pretty close to Tyson vs Marvis Frazier.

How the hell did Tate make it into the third?

Tate is the second-best grappler in the division after Rousey herself, and in particular she's notable as the only woman who's been able to occasionally escape an armbar attempt from Ronda. Miesha is a bad fighter in some respects but let us just say that her grappling is legit :shrug: At this point it seems like if you step to Ronda with a skill set based in striking, you're hosed. It's like Gracie-Jimmerson out there. But if your game is grappling-based, like Tate or Carmouche, you might be able to stay alive long enough to make it a show.

Now you're moving the goalposts but Bethe Correia and Holly Holm are both in the UFC and can make 135. Also, gently caress Cyborg and Tito.

I think ronda has these same feeling on cyborg, and basically is going to play hard ball about ever fighting her

The guy said he hoped Cyborg would cut to 135. It seems like she can't so they should just hold the fight at 140 or 145. Who cares about 135, there are no challengers

With respect to Cyborg, let's be honest and admit that aside from just the weight cut she has a big road block since the UFC is struggling through a big fat PED scandal and the commissions (CSAC, at least) are coming after the fighters.

I think this is why people were talking about whether you actually need a credible challenger to sell a RR/Tyson fight.

Never forget that Cyborg pulled mount repeatedly against Gina Carano, a fighter so hopeless at grappling that she just stood up from full mount because she didn't know what to do from that position.
