Pam Sorenson is such a strange fight for her to campaign for. Like I could name 5 natural featherweights that would be more competitive than that.
But her legacy . . . .

Top female basketballers get paid 7 figure and 6 figure regularly in EU and China. And they don't have to deal with ppv bullshit, they get paid according to how well they perform.
Only Ronda consistently earned more than top female basketball players during her biggest years. Nunes got paid 2 million including ppv cut for her fight against Ronda which sold over 1 million ppv. Joanna could earn that much at 205, Cyborg haven't been on monster ppv card like that.
Female mma fighters have to be on monster ppv cards to make bank except Ronda, they don't earn that much for regular ppv cards which sold 200k-300k.
Not to mention that female tennis players dominate the Forbes list of top female athletes.
Please google a little before sugarcoating UFC's payments to athletes.
The problem now is that even top female combate sport athletes aren't making much moves to mma. How many top female judokas come to mma? Top female wrestlers outside of US aren't making moves to mma either. Only female pro boxers who are desperate for paycheck are making lots of moves to mma.
They aren't making moves because they could be trapped in 10k/10k contract unless they can reach top of the division, and they have to show their skin & speak good english to have a chance to be a ppv drawl.
Let's not forget about Nunes and Jedrzejczyk, that both of them are from countries not really that rich, let's say Jedrzejczyk made 4 M $, it's crazy amount of money if you live in Poland.
Probably same with Nunes and Brasil.
well but if she plans to return to brasil at some point (which I doubt), then she should be pretty much set for lifeNunes lives in US for nearly a decade
I don't usually defend Cyborg but I can't name one natural 145er that if Cyborg called her out would be anything but a one sided beating. This is partly due to how good Cyborg is but mostly due to how terrible the division itself is. I mean Cyborgs most competitive fight recently has been a 135er who was 1 - 3 in her previous 4 fights. So I treat her call out of Pam as a non story because any 145er she would have called out would elicit the same feelings.Pam Sorenson is such a strange fight for her to campaign for.

I get your point, there's not a whole lot of options.... but calling out Pam is about as ballsy a move as DC calling out Old Man Shogun.
The majority probably don’t care but how do y’all see Budd vs Lady Nog going? This is the first time in years Budd is facing someone her size. I think she gets subbed.

Talita is up there with Dern and Garcia when it comes to BJJ accomplishments.
That annoying Coach guy from YouTube whose fantasy is getting pegged by Cyborg?Guess whose just got their request approved for media credentials for Invicta FC 30?
Cyborg told the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday night that she was under the impression as recently as Friday that Nunes would fight her Sept. 8, only to receive the agreement with the Dec. 29 date on it this week.
Asked if she'll sign the bout agreement to fight Nunes in December, Cyborg said, "I've already agreed to fight Amanda three times. My word is more important than a signed paper.
"I asked the UFC to bring Amanda to a Las Vegas doctor to see if this injury is true. They never did."
It would open up interesting matchups at flyweight for her.
No way, how’d you know?!?That annoying Coach guy from YouTube whose fantasy is getting pegged by Cyborg?

So she is full of shit, no one agreed with her on the Sept.8 date.
How about signing the fucking paper now?
Who the fuck she thinks she is?Even Dana White can't force fighters to accept medical exam.
