I've seen Rousey in movie so at least I know who she is. I have no clue who Cyborg is beyond that dumb Jon Claude Van Damme movie?
History of recent Women's MMA in as few bullet points as I can manage - pretty much the main topics of most Women's MMA discussions would be:
* Cris "Cyborg" hits with power and devastation and pretty much has had her way with anyone in the ring/octagon
* The other most popular woman in MMA is/was Gina Carano. When Cris met Gina in the ring it was basically the two top dogs in women's MMA meeting. Cris pretty much destroyed Gina and "retired' her
* No seriously Gina has since become a bit of an action star . And an American Gladiator
* Ronda Rousey burst on the scene recently, has since had her way with just about anyone in the ring
* Cris, it turns out, has been on steroids or some other PED for a long time and she got busted.
* Cris fights at 145 lbs
* Ronda fights at 135 lbs
And finally ..
* Most superfights of two fighters in different divisions take place at a "catchweight". In this example, Cris would cut to 140lbs, and Ronda would move up to 140 lbs . However, Ronda continues to call Cris a cheater for her steroid use and basically says if Cris stops using steroids she can cut to 135 lbs. Cris definitely wants to shut Ronda up but for some reason cannot (or will not) make the cut to 135 lbs
* People think Ronda is ducking Cris "Cyborg"
* Gina Carano has said she'd consider coming back to MMA to fight Ronda Rousey. Ronda says Gina is a pioneer in women's MMA and if Gina (who also fights at 145lbs) came back, Ronda would do a catchweight fight with her at 140lbs. Gotta give it to Ronda - she's efficient, giving massive respect to Gina and at the same time totally dissing Cris
That's about it
