Cyborg probably would have lost to Prime Ronda

At least Cyborg threw some punches...Ronda controller was unplugged... She was like..wait wait what...where am I ?
 
Ronda is strong but has a primitive striking game. She could wrap up smaller fighters. Stronger fighters not so much. Strikers not so much. Stronger fighters that can strike are like kryptonite. Ronda is unlikely to ever win against Cyborg.

That's why she lost to Julia Budd... Oh wait
 
People need to start doing IQ tests before being allowed to create threads here. It's getting ridiculous now.

TS didn't even try to breakdown how they think Ronda would win. Signs of a casual there.

You're acting like Cyborg lost because she got taken down and subbed

She got KO'd bud, wake up. Nunes is just that good

Holm fight is very revealing about how Ronda deals in grappling with a stronger opponent. Nevermind straight left&foot movement, Ronda couldn't to anything to Holy on the ground.

It's also very revealing about how Ronda acts when she's in a fight: she can't adapt, change the game plan, push herself through adversity or deal with pain very well.








Let's stop pretending that Ronda had some infallible ground game too, remember when Carmouche took her back etc.

We saw Olympic Judo's limits over and over with the guys, Ronda's skill set was just as limited without a physical advantage.

Nah the holm fight was revealing on how ronda deals with being tired overworked & taking a fight she didn't need to take trying to be a hero & a company girl

She was out of breath not even 2 min into the fight

Lets not act like ronda didn't headline 3 championship fights in 3 different countries while doing a shit ton of media & fight promotion that yr

She also had a terrible trainer in order to be the best she could be she needs a whole new change

It took nunes 3 tough loses & a coaching change before she got to where she is now because she wasnt beating cyborg in SF or early ufc

If wouldve great to see ronda at att or jackson wilklejohn

With that being said first rd armbar in SF

Cyborg beats Ronda much worse than Nunes did. The reasons for this is that Nunes is a sharp counter striker, a kind of Conor McGregor or Andy, where as Cyborg is a vicious mauler, a kind of Jeremy Stephens or Wandy. Its better to get quickly pieced up versus slowly brutalized. Cyborg would have really taken her time and relished it too, seeing as how badly Ronda had treated her and all the ways which UFC/Dana/Ronda did to f Cris' life up. It would have been a real horror show.

Duck her how ? she's 145 she can't make 135 she tried she almost die just making 140. Ronda called cyborg out then dropped to 135 whos ducking who.

Primitive is putting it very nicely. She could throw a decent knee and that's about it. She has some of the worst striking I've seen since Phil Brooks
 
Maybe but why are you saying this now and not after the Holm fight? Cyborg didn't lose to Nunes because of the clinch or the ground game.
 
I believe prime Ronda would have beaten a steroid free version of Cyborg if they fought at 135 lbs. I believe Cyborg knows it too.

Cyborg will basically land right in Rousey arms and go for a ride and come out w one less arm she had going in

No she wouldn't, even Ronda in her prime woud eat punches getting the clinch. As soon as she fought a girl who could throw a puch correctly she got rocked. Holly had Ronda dazed from one of the first punches she threw. Most likely Cybord would beat her in the same fashion Amanda did.

Ronda fought twice that year before Holly for a cool minute combined without taking any damage.

It was the third fight that year for Holly too after going 6 rounds with Pennington&Reneau. Ronda was the third fight in a year for Amanda too, after Miesha&Schevchenko.

Sure media obligations at that level take a toll, playing in movies takes a toll, being coached by Edmund takes a toll etc. but that's how she chose to manage her career and part of who she was as a fighter.

So you think Ronda was clean? That would be very naive, no offence.

Nah she wouldnt. Amanda's better than cyborg way better.

I do believe Ronda fought clean. I believe she won with superior grappling. If she was ever on the juice she would have been caught at some point in her judo and mma career. Her physique has remained consistent throughout her mma career with only a noticeable loss of fat. Even now her physique looks the same as it did when she was fighting. Then you have Cyborg who went through an Overeem level physical change, complete with increased jawline.
