I can agree that Cyborg would probably be Rousey's stiffest test, but that says next to nothing. She's a wild swinger who comes forward aggressively, and while she is a BJJ brown belt I've always thought her grappling relies heavily on muscle over technique. She is tailor-made for the Rousey takedown.

He only says that to get people off his back. Floyd is his everything.

Isn't KBB Floyd?

True. But her wild swings are crisper than anyone Rousey has faced.

And, and this is a big one, she's physically strong. So even if she gets thrown (highly likely) she will actually have the ability to make it difficult on the ground rather than tap as soon as Ronda gets close to an armbar (like Zingano).

Well like I said, she's probably Rousey's toughest test, but I don't think that says much. Honestly I think Cyborg/Tate is close to a 50/50 fight.

LOL. Might as well. Most people think he's 7 different people on this thing so why not Floyd too? I'm pro KBB and a minority. The man never flip flops and brings some heat.

Cyborg is already signed by Zuffa.

She's a 1-weight champ because the the UFC doesn't have a 145 pound women's division, and they're not gonna create that division just to hand Cyborg a title. You can take a look at Cyborg's recent fights in the Invicta promotion if you want to see how woefully thin that division is outside the UFC.

Did the ESPYs ever have credibility? They're a meaningless award ceremony designed to grab ratings, and I don't think they've ever been anything but that.
