Yeah, it's a huge sell no matter what, but obviously they want it to be a title fight. Since they don't have a 145 division for women, it pretty much has to be at 135 for it to make sense for the company. Dana has already said publicly that the fight will either happen at 135 or not at all, it's unfortunate that we may never see it happen.
On the bright side, Cyborg is dropping to 140 for a fight later this year to hopefully help prepare her eventual drop to 135 to fight Ronda in early 2016. I just hope the weight cut doesn't hurt her abilities, 10 pounds is a HUGE amount to cut when she's already walking around much heavier than the 145 she has to cut down to now.
