He's boring, even Joe Rogan said it. All he does is counter and that's boring. If your afraid of getting hit then you don't belong in the UFC. He should stick with karate tournaments.

if a guy is only gonna wrestle and not willing to fight standing, he don't belong in mma and should stick to wrestling. see what i did there? anyways, like I said, to each his own. counter striking is a skill few can truly be great at. I prefer that over wrestling and holding down an opponent any day. just me,.........
btw, everything joe says I take with a grain of salt. he's knowledgeable and provide a very good technical description and commentating ringside but he's been very annoying lately with his bias commentating. every time his favorite of the two fighters are in the ring flinches he oohs and ahhhs, while the other guy lands and he talks about some other thing unrelated to the fight
And it's moot because Cyborg is in Invicta. Ronda can't go to 145 to fight Cyborg if she won't even sign w/ UFC as there's no reason for Ronda to leave the UFC. It would be really hard to convince me that Ronda would duck anyone. I can't blame her for going to a better weight class for her
she had the chance at strikeforce when they were still there together. cyborg was eating the competition for breakfast, maybe juicing, but that's not the point. the point was, Rhonda could've fought her when she had the chance and chose to leave the division. to me, she ducked.
cyborg didn't sign because the ufc says, ok, you have a contract, you will be welcome here but you gotta fight at 135, there is no 145 division. well, if she can't fight at 135, how can she sign?? i'm not gonna try to convince you Rhonda ducked cyborg, but you can choose to ignore the facts all you want. Rhonda fought 3 amateur fights before going pro, winning all by first round armbar. first two pro fights, first round armbar. enters strikeforce and wins two fights by armbar in the first round at 145 lbs. then drops to 135 to challenge Meisha Tate. why in the hell would someone be on that kind of a dominant run at 145 and decide to drop for??? with that kind of momentum why did she drop?? heck, she could've fought cyborg and if she won, she could still drop to take the lower weight belt. but she left the division while she was absolutely dominating for no reason. hey, you can believe all you want but to me, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck,.......... it's a damn duck to me
usually people drop weight or go up because a team mate or training partner or close friend is the champ or at the top. they wanna avoid fighting eachother. but no one dominates in their division and just leaves the division when they will likely be next for a title shot, cmon now
