re: UFC Fight Night 70-something - Louis Smolka vs. Paddy Hooligan - Dublin, Ireland

Bringing up the potential of a fight doesn't mean there is a black cloud hanging over Rousey. It's up to the challenger to make weight. It's silly to me to criticize the champion for not moving up to fight a known steroid user and someone who has failed the "smell test" for years. You want the champ? Make weight.

Rousey is going to succeed with or without Cyborg. Cyborg's success is connected to Rousey. Rousey's success is not connected to Cyborg

---

Rousey has fought at 145 no reason she can't fight there now so we get to see the top 2 p4p fight each other.

There is no women's 145lbs division in the UFC.

Just like there is no super HW division. I highly doubt they'd let Hunt/Bigfoot II take place @ 275lbs.

But if Gina Carano wanted to fight Ronda at 145lbs.....

You sound like a fricking pathetic groupie. Stop white knight please.

I'm just stating facts. Call it whatever you want and keep getting butthurt about it.

Cyborg was known well before rousey was in ufc. Saying her success depends on rousey is silly

Cyborg is known by MMA junkies and nobody else. Ronda Rousey is well-known outside of the MMA scene and draws 7-figure pay days. How much does Invicta pay Mangirl to beat absolute nobodies?

Rousey vs Holm announced for Jan 2 card

Interesting I thought they would give Holm at least another 2 fights before a title shot

(no message)

What am I missing? I don't think he's being unreasonable. Hopefully I'm not considered a white knight / groupie because I think Cyborg should have to make 135 if she wants a shot at the champ.

---

There is absolutely no reason to think she can make 135(or 140 even) and even if she could why would you want her to? You want to see them fight because they are the top 2 P4P, you get that at 145.

Multiple ufc champs have gone up or fought catch weight. Hell bj had 2 belts. Leave your title at home amd give fans what they want. Hiding behind 135 is running. Leave your belt and lets fight.

Only reason she doesnt is fear of losing. From her or dana. Because the money would be enormous

Dude, You're pathetic. Just stop. There's stating facts and then there's putting on armor and hopping on your horse.
You do realize Rousey isn't going to frick you for sticking up for her on Tigerdroppings, right??

---

You seem very emotionally invested in your stance.

Let's say Mangirl wins. (S)he can't have the belt, because (s)he isn't in that class. Do you create a new weight class just to justify her? (S)he's not that good or marketable that you create a weight class with no other decent fighters in it just to give her a belt and shot at Rousey. If (s)he does win, (s)he may have a bigger reputation, but (s)he still has no weight class.

Has dana ever been shy to make a fight happen? Hes never had this hardcore stance before.

---

Actually, he has stood firm before dealing with Fedor. Mangirl and her team have been extremely arrogant in dealing with this and have been making really stupid arguments with the whole infertility crap that they spewed. They made their bed with that nonsense and Dana White is making them sleep in it.
