I know she is just trying to keep her name in the media by talking about Ronda. I know she will never fight Ronda at 35 because she knows her muscle makes her and her technique is not anything special at all in any facet of MMA.
She has never beat a striker on Joanna Champion's level.
She has never beat a wrestler on McMann's level.
She has never beat a submission artist on Ronda's level.
She has never beat a well rounded fighter on Tate's level.
Cyborg is like the superheavyweight champion of WMMA. Sure she is the best in her division but her division is empty.
On a related note, would anyone like to see Holm get to skip over Tate, Davis, McMann, Zingano, Kaufmann, and Eye and get a crack at Ronda? Bethe is getting to skip everyone for a shot, what makes her so special? Even Conor had a tougher road to the title than Bethe. I'd rather see Holm get the Conor treatment and get a title shot before watching Tate get a third crack at the title.
Carano was a decent striker... she also sucks at grappling and mounted Cyborg twice, I think.
If Cyborg wants to keep a career in MMA, she needs to cut down and stay at 135. That's where the big fights are and the big money. Not enough talent in the 145 division to gain any traction and become a fan favorite in WMMA.
Drop the muscle, it's 5 fucking pounds! Fight Ronda and win or lose she has a career. Ronda won't be around much longer and Cyborg could become King of WMMA again.
If dudes like Cruz and Barao can make 35, she can make 35. She just wants to be able to keep playing it safe and stay undefeated. I hope Tate takes the catchweight fight at 40 and shows the world how human Cyborg is against a highly trained fighter in the era of enhanced testing.
Are you saying the 135 lb division is much better? There are few female fighters and even fewer that weigh 140-150 pounds.
I'll have what op is smoking 
lol at least she challenges herself
and lol at 135 being any better
BJ Penn Forever - If dudes like Cruz and Barao can make 35, she can make 35. She just wants to be able to keep playing it safe and stay undefeated. I hope Tate takes the catchweight fight at 40 and shows the world how human Cyborg is against a highly trained fighter in the era of enhanced testing.
Even if she went back to how she looked in her very first pro fight, she would still have to get even smaller than that to make 135.
marlos coenen isn't a well rounded fighter?
in the past 4 years since her steroid scandal shes only fought like 4 times against cans and the only legit opponent was coenen and she was able to take cyborg into the 4th so i agree she hasnt done much to prove shes a threat against ronda besides talk
So you're saying she should fight Ronda?
_33 - Carano was a decent striker... she also sucks at grappling and mounted Cyborg twice, I think.There is not enough talent at 35 either shit they're going to make Ronda vs Tate 3

Agree with op
Majority of her career is tainted by obvious ped abuse, and the 145 division is so thin many of her opponents were 135ers (before and/or after fighting her)
I also don't think anyone is really convinced that she's stopped using peds since her failed test.

...and it isn't even a rubber match.

Marloes at 145 was a well rounded fighter above Tate's level.
As for Holm she's a serious fighter and the UFC should take their time with her IMO. Bethe loses to pretty much anyone in the top 10 and it was smart to put her in against Ronda given the 4 horsewomen angle.
This is scare talk. Rhonda is fighting Corriera and this might be her toughest opponent to date. Cyborg is a real threat to Rhonda at any weight. Rhonda knows an ass whooping is waiting for her. She's just delaying that imo.
Tate beats Cyborg at 140 lbs, I hope the UFC makes this happen.

Here she is next to a guy that fights at 145 and can make 135:

Here she is next to one of the stronger and beffiest w135ers out there:

She is a Big Bad B*tch.
The real question is, why is she so obsessed with fighting girls smaller than her when there's Gabi out there to test her Budo agaisnt.
TheDave -The very person you are defending said there was more competition at 135lbs. She spoke of moving down in weight because of that even before Rousey was a factor in MMA.
lol at least she challenges herself
and lol at 135 being any better
Some people in here are getting "hello's" in about five.
Cyborg has not even fought the number 2 featherweight imo. Julia budd
