Correia actually was defending great. She was keeping her hips back and Ronda wasn't looking good. What that does though is open the knees and strikes up. She just has no power what so ever, so Ronda just kept hitting her. Correia has beaten bums in the UFC and that's it. Its even worse as there is no depth at all.

If that is Tate or Cyborg, then she will get hit back, plus both of them can take punches. If Tate does that same thing, Ronda may not keep the belt. I think Tate needs 6 months more though, but rumor is Dec/Jan.

Dana White on Cyborg at the press conference:

"I'm ready for Cyborg. Ronda is ready for Cyborg. She hasn't made the weight. The fight will happen as soon as she makes the weight."

I will bet 100 percent, literally, every cent I am worth, that Ronda finishes Cyborg within the first round.

Ronda with devastating finishing power on her feet to go along with the world class grappling?

Answer:



Edit

Also

Can't wait for Gadhela/JJ 2. Should be a great scrap.

Is it rumored that Cyborg uses/used steroids or is it documented? I have zero interest in watching fighters who are known to juice. So it's hard to wrap my head around why someone would want to see that fight at catch weight no less.

She was suspended for a year when she was in Strikeforce. Thats one of the main reasons why Ronda wont fight her above 135.

The fight was only 34 seconds long so I dont know if I would say she was defending it "great." You are right that she kept her hips back but Ronda's second favorite weapon next to an armbar is knees now and she ate a ton of those. She was able to keep out of the clinch but she was scrambling and out of control.

Correia's loss isnt an example of no depth. Its an example of Ronda beating every one in the division's top 10 other than Holm, Nunes and Eye. Correia doesnt get the shot if 1) Ronda didnt want to fight in Brazil and 2) Correia didnt talk **** about beating her friends.
