Cris Cyborg slowly emerges from the Pantanal, like a crocodile unfurling its tail. Her hulking muscles glisten with slime. "I have arrived" she seems to say, her alien vocal tract struggling to form words. The crowd stares in astonishment.

Michael Bisping has not fought since October 4, 1997 and yet the UFC strips the Iron Lady just for having Schroedinger's hand injury for four months? Pathetic

What's Randamie's problem, just doesn't want to fight a steroid user?

According to Eugene S. Robinson, who trains under the same BJJ coach, she doesn't get paid enough to quit her day job, and she likes being a cop in the Netherlands a hell of a lot more than she likes having a waste belt everyone knows is loving garbage because it's literally representing women's trashweight at this point. She would rather not risk her real, paying occupation by asking for time off to train to defend her championship at the highest level of her sport for a couple of Gs and maybe another Fight Kit half off coupon.

But hey, now we don't have to see Condom Depot ads on some dude's rear end, and they play the Fox Sports theme instead of Face the Pain! Progress!

GDR claims no one told her they were stripping her and she learned about it on Twitter. That seems unlikely, a professional sports corporation like the UFC wouldn't treat its employees like that

She also says she is fleeing to 135 to preserve herself from roided out Brazilian manmonsters

She was probably holding out for more money/points to fight Cyborg and he UFC didn't think it was worth it.

Matt Hughes is every negitive stereotype about a MMA fighter you can think of all wrapped up in one person, but the reason this thread doesn't like him is because he gave out bibles to all the fighters on TUF 15 years ago.

Naturally I agree. Sylvia let himself be bullied by Matt Hughes, at least to hear Matt Hughes tell it. That's funny.

GDR is vehemently against cheating in MMA. Which is why she forfeit her championship so as not to be forced to fight against someone who blatantly cheats during a fight.

Sounds improbable in a sport where Roxanne Modafferi exists and has won fights. But I don't have any actual examples.
