Also thats exactly what you said. You are knocking Ronda because she wont go out of her weight class to fight someone. If thats the case...hold everyone else to that standard. Jon Jones should be knocked for not fighting at HW. Weidman should be knocked for not going to LHW. Same goes for Also at LW.

It is true she'd beat Floyd and Ali in a boxing match? Ali would KO her from his back.

Well, I respect your guys opinions. I think Ronda is great, to each their own

Huh? One, she was talking about Laila Ali not Muhammed Ali. Two, she never said she would win a boxing match against either. Its insane to think she would win a boxing match against either of those two.

I apologize, I thought she meant Muhammad. I think Floyd KO's her in anything. Even MMA. Ronda also said she could beat Cain under the right circumstances iirc.

She gets her hands on Floyd and he's on the ground tapping within 5 seconds. You guys gotta realize why she's special. Her steamrolling everybody is not an accident. Btw, so you guys know how small Floyd is? I guarantee you she tosses and submits bigger dudes than Floyd all the time at practice

I'm sure she does. It's a little different when they are actually fighting back. She wouldn't get away with the charging her opponent with a guy. Floyd would KO her with one punch. Especially with MMA gloves.

She/Dana say she can beat any man, yet they know that one it can never be proven right or wrong and two that she has already shown she can't in practice. Then her coaches talk about how she is knocking out striking champions in sparing sessions. She surrounds herself with other women who are no where near her level in talent or looks so there is no doubt she is on top. They are also just a rude as she is. She would be likeable if she could get over her inferiority complex. Its fine to say you are the best and believe it, but you can't say it the way she does. Look at Conor and Chael, Conor is the champ and talks even more than Ronda, yet people don't hate him as much because he is funny and the way he says it. Chael wasn't near the talent level so people didn't take him as serious, but he used a lot of humor. Ronda has no humor. I would love to she her lose, but I don't think it will happen here. Now if Tate beats her and then after she demands an immediate rematch and Dana does whatever she wants, she then loses again to Tate, look out. She may become broken mentally. Everything she has fought to prove that she is the best would be taken away and it may be a hard fall.

Protection? Thats so crazy to me. If you are talking about Cyborg, how is he protecting her?

- They arent in the same weight class.
- Cyborg is a known steroids cheat and that is part of the reason why she cant make 135.
- They dont have a 145 weight class because that weight class is even weaker than 135.

Also, why do people think that Cyborg would even be that much of a matchup? The toughest fighters shes faced are Carano and Coenen. She faced 2 of her division's top 10.

Watch the Carano fight again. Cyborg's grappling is average. Carano had full mount on her and for some strange reason stood up while in it. Coenen was successful grappling with her. If Ronda grapples with Cyborg, its over.

Now Ronda has beat 6 of the 9 women in her division's top 10 and is facing the 7th on Saturday. She's stopped them all. How is fighting 7 top ten fighters being protected?

People hate mouthy dominant champions. Half of the MMA audience hates Conor. More people hate Jones than hate Ronda. A ton of people hate Ronda. Thats just the way it is.

Thats why I hope Cyborg makes 135 in September in Invicta so they can just get that fight over with. No one wants to see Tate tapout again. Even though she hurt Eye with two overhand rights she still the same grinder she's always been. She needs to grapple to win and if you grapple too long with Ronda, she takes your arm.
