I'm willing to agree that it's genetics and nothing to do with substance abuse.. but it still comes down to their bodys aren't really comparable other than they are both in good shape.
edit: of course the UG squishing images doesn't help... if you can open the pics in their own browser.
There wouldn't be a 5 lbs weight difference at 140. Cyborg had to take drugs to get down to 145 she said, and she repeatedly claims she will be hurt for life if she has to cut more. Roussey hasn't had that kind of extreme problems cutting down to 135. If she put the same effort that Cyborg is claimin she could probarbly cut a few pounds more. (Yes she competed fat before against lesser opponents and in judo - which has nothing to do with this.) That means they are a weight class apart. Simple as that.
Compare it to a male fighter who can barely make LHW vs another fighter who can barely make MW. And the former is busted for PED.
I for one refuse to believe that some as muscular as Cyborg couldn't get rid of some of that mass by just changing up her training.
Cyborg needs to quit whining about something that will most likely never happen. Her image has been tarnished, she cheated, she took steroids, her wins mean nothing.
Ronda is the 135 champ, she just got her UFC belt, she's basking in glory right now, in the lime light, making the big bucks. Why on earth would she risk all that to fight a cheater?
ender852 - man instead of cutting 5 lbs and getting the biggest fight of her career on the biggest stage possible in her sport, she aligns herself with that dolt Tito and runs off with her giant clit to another organization entirely where she continues to talk broken english trash about Ronda.
I wish she would just shut up and fight, but with Tito as her "life coach" i know this will sadly never happen.
sigh.
Exactly. People are putting the pressure on Ronda to step up and be "the real Champ" or however they want to put it. Why not put the pressure on Cyborg to prove she doesn't have to cheat? Cyborg is the one who ran away from the UFC. Cyborg was the one who decided to leave the organization that Ronda was in. Cyborg was the one who could have let Mike Dolce work with her, and then if she really couldn't make 135 everyone would know it from a source most people trust. Instead we have to take the word of Cyborg, Tito Ortiz, and some anonymous doctor.
Not taking free services from one of the best in the business when it comes to nutrition and weight management is sketchy, IMO.
