GOTTA LOVE THE EARLY STOPPAGE!
It may have been a bit early, but this was a gimmick fight in the first place, Cristiane was going to win no matter what.
Well they gave that Yamanoko a BIG BREAK to fight a man for the belt. Just look at that face at the end when he is wearing a hat, how can people think that he is a woman? But that was a lame fight, in that the woman didn’t look prepared at all, I don’t know what her game plan was, but I thought it would involve head movement, counter striking or a bit of stick and move, hit her with a trick shot given that Cyborg always comes out wild and rabid. Pathetic fight, and an early stoppage too. After she got up, she didn’t really take a big shot, the most impactful of Cyborgs punches was actually a face push, and she wasn’t turtling up. A lame day for womens mma, a lame day for the 145 division. Any good female fighter at 145 has already been clobbered by Cyborg, and then they cut down to 135. When you have somebody like Rousey, who could be a genuine threat, and would make a great fight,and she wants to drop to 135 before fighting for the belt? That sucks lol. I think it will be more hilarious wen Cyborg drops to 135, and all the chicks quickly cut to 135 Elle oh elle.
WAY TOO EARLY STOPPAGE!!! Shut the f*ck up announcers. You guys don’t know sh*t. I hate these sissy a*s referees
wang was getting back up they should of given her a chance to fight back a bit more
i’ll put money this chick/guy is a transexual lol ! makes me sick when i look at IT !
cyborg on dam roids. she shouldn’t even be allowed in mma. She has a mans face and is built like a guy. Shes on roids none of these woman have a chance unless they get on roids to so they can hit liek she does and she can’t just bum rush people. Im tired of watching fake fighters using steroids to win fights.
Way early stoppage and ya they need to run a check cause that chick is hell a ripped like to see wat she takn
STEROIDS – confirmed, and “Cyborg” has been stripped of the title.
