Cyborg can make 135. She needs to do what Cormier did and diet down. She has the best nutritionist outside dolce with her. She just refuses to get serious. She likes being 160 in the cage against blown up flyweights. That's her thing. To have a massive size advantage over her opponents. Why is this never discussed?
I'm not saying never but first attempt in a championship bout with no IV refresh.......

Ronda can easily go up 5lbs right? Why does it seem everyone is begging cyborg to go down. Let's see that catch weight

Champ don't have to move, it is that simple.

People can argue about all of the factors why and what was said or done before but fact remains. Honda has the leverage.
Champ doesn't have to move I get all that. But again she was willing to move for Gina Carano comeback match.

They had a world tour, $1+ million commercial, and other tons of marketing (ads in the NBA finals). I wonder too how much they spent. Crazy thing is, UFC 190 had a fraction of the marketing and it still did better than 189.
I think a ronda cyborg fight breaks 2 mil buys

It will break a mill, but two is :whoa:. Cyborg is unknown to the vast majority of casuals. For a lot of them, it will just be another Ronda fight/opponent.
yea but if they hype it up like they did 189, im sure it can happen

I've said it before breh Look at UFC 100. That had MMA's two biggest stars (GSP & Brock) on a stacked card. It was during MMA's golden era, it's peak. If that card couldn't break 2 mill (1.6 mill buys), I don't see any card doing it now. These numbers put into perspective how big the May/Pac fight was. It almost tripled UFC 100's buys at $100 a pop. :wow:
