Saying you can't cut 25 pounds over a period of months is just not true. And you can do it safely. LOTS of women her height weigh under 160.Dr. AnnMariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741371839260099343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-27095600300122438952012-08-24T17:55:54.801-07:002012-08-24T17:55:54.801-07:00If Cyborg is 160 right now CJ then she should get ...If Cyborg is 160 right now CJ then she should get to work if she wants to fight Ronda. If she lays off the steroids now and follows a sensible nutrition plan she could be ready to go at 135 without a brutal cut by the time her suspension is up. There are a lot of current MMA fighters who walk around much heavier than their fighting weight, especially during long layoffs, so her being 25 pounds over right now is not particularly unusual or prohibitive.Swoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10987150116754383106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-15375418126294703472012-08-24T00:18:39.129-07:002012-08-24T00:18:39.129-07:00Cyborg is 160 right now, Mrs. Rousey.Cyborg is 160 right now, Mrs. Rousey.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02460365838673343132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-63245968583332873252012-08-22T14:07:35.680-07:002012-08-22T14:07:35.680-07:00Ronda is so clearly in a league of her own in wome...Ronda is so clearly in a league of her own in women's mma.

Actually, that's one of the things that made you as good as you were. You had "controlled" anger. Your anger worked for you. You didn't flip out; you used that anger to kick your opponent's butt. My wife did the same thing, as did several others. By the way, in Ronda's last fight, she gave a clinic on how to do juji gatame. There were so many good things that she did, we both could write another book on just that fight. Speaking of that, I mailed the copy of JUJI GATAME ENCYCLOPEDIA that you wanted to you Monday and am pleased to help out, especially for a good cause.Steve Scotthttp://www.welcomematjudoclub.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-53642708353558948082012-08-20T16:59:08.118-07:002012-08-20T16:59:08.118-07:00http://prommanow.com/2012/03/05/dr-rhadi-ferguson-...http://prommanow.com/2012/03/05/dr-rhadi-ferguson-on-ronda-rouseys-defeat-of-miesha-tate-and-what-is-next-for-the-champ/<br /><br />It's that simple.

I don't watch much MMA, but that was impressive. <br /><br />Irrelevant side note #1:<br /><br />During the match, I yelled something along the lines of "She's getting the arm bar _already_!?!", and my 7-yo daughter asked what an arm bar was. I tried to show her. Now she's ... intruigued. She likes the idea of a move that can make her poor old Dad grunt in pain. <br /><br />There's a judo club at the Y. She's still not sure whether she wants to give it a try - we'll see.<br /><br />Irrelevant side note #2: I started following this blog only after reading your stats blog for a while. I enjoy your writing on both subjects.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-57638044345454065622012-08-20T10:43:01.447-07:002012-08-20T10:43:01.447-07:00Little known fact: Cyborg has fought at 135 before...Little known fact: Cyborg has fought at 135 before. She's being a little misleading on that point, implying she started at 145 and has always fought there. Apparently there was a promotion called 'Storm Samurai' where she did a few fights at 135 in 2006. She was scheduled to fight Baszler at 135 but they both missed weight. So I think real case can be made that Cyborg is the one ducking the fight.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-89195104960560923172012-08-20T04:55:34.426-07:002012-08-20T04:55:34.426-07:00Looks like people are ignoring some really obvious...Looks like people are ignoring some really obvious facts about any potential match-up between Ronda and Cyborg. The most obvious one is that taking the fight at 135 lbs gives Ronda a significant competitive advantage by forcing Cyborg to cut as much weight as possible, thereby making her weaker. Ronda's even brought this up in interviews, if my memory serves me correctly. So why would she voluntarily give up an advantage like that? I hope she sticks to her guns and forces Cyborg to come to her weight... even if it means giving up a boatload of money.Al B Herehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10693007977951992225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-1367069524457960932012-08-20T02:20:23.428-07:002012-08-20T02:20:23.428-07:00I don't think Ronda is worried about anything....I don't think Ronda is worried about anything.

Like Cyborg, she's been quoted as saying she could never make 135.<br /><br />And yet here she is, eating one meal a day. So maybe Cyborg is the same and will eventually diet her way down. <br /><br />But the only way I see that happening is if every other company blackballs her, or all opponents refuse to fight her at 145. <br /><br />That being said, her proposal of a 140lbs fight seems fair. If a terrified Gina Carano can take her down, what's Ronda worried about?<br /><br />Also, why is Ronda no longer willing to fight Cyborg at 145? If the answer is 'because we've since learned she took roids' that's silly. Ronda scouted Cyborg and, despite suspecting she was doping determined she could beat her. Confirmation that Cyborg used roids doesn't make her any MORE strong or insurmountable. She's still the same beast Ronda thought she could beat before Cyborg tested positive.<br /><br />And as far as Ronda's 'even the odds, have a fair fight for once in your life' angle... Well Ronda vs Cyborg at 145 would be more even odds than at 135. And In both Ronda would be the favorite. So actually the more even fight is at 145. <br /><br />Not to mention you'd finally get to bet on closer odds at 145. And make some money.<br /><br />Of course there's some dishonesty in all of that. 'Even' doesn't mean 'fair' for example, but I'm just voicing cyborgs pov. Which is odd because I'm not the least bit her fan.devils advocatenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2192186541955038172.post-42340617151403544302012-08-20T00:14:14.426-07:002012-08-20T00:14:14.426-07:00Ronda certainly can hold a grudge.

D'Alelio is doing pretty good at 135 but I think she knows better than to get in the cage with Ronda again. Thats a broken arm gauranteed, even if she taps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
