I agree. why would she? she is making a ton of money because she is dominating right now. she is everywhere. movies, wwe etc. why fuck that up jumping around class's?
look at BJ penn. he did that..and lost a lot.
Ok Ronda is a professional who is maximizing her career. To bounce up and down weights to fight a person and pull yourself out of competition just to do that because people say you are afraid if you don't isn't rational. You wouldn't do it and neither would I and it has nothing to do with being scared.
She can drop the muscle mass. Stop the ped and get on a normal routine for a while and it will go away.
I'm only pointing out 1 fail doesn't make a roid monster
Cyborg is trying to move down but it may not be possible because of losing all the muscle mass.
She would beat him at her game. And he would beat her at his game. I think ronda would beat a lot of 135 mma guys up.

Random 135 guy off the street? Sure. Pro mma fighter? Not a chance in hell.
I think you would have to go down men's strawweight (115lb) before it starts being competitive
I think she could beat some 135lb guys. maybe not in UFC but in other promotions.
That's Cyborg, not Correia. But yah crazy. Frankie is a former 155 lb champ!The gym where I go and train has a few very talented ladies. They go up against the guys all the time as does Ronda who spars and trains with a great team.
Like it was mentioned earlier its just not fair from a competitive standpoint since muscle density and core strength are just different for women. With the her technique she would destroy 99 percent of the human population. A guy like say Jake Shields if they were the same weight would be no contest as he would have the technique and enough strength.
Man Frankie looks small next to Correia. WOW
Like dudes from "your local gym"?
As stated previously, a 135 lb elite female athlete is MUCH weaker than a 135 lb elite male athlete. Or even a 135 lb "not quite elite" male athlete.
Look at any sport that has weight classes and times/weights/heights/distances/etc. that are the standard of measure.....the same weight man outclasses the same weight woman, if all other things are equal. (like both are 'elite')
She's a straight-up badass.....for a woman. I don't see why the comparison has to be made with a man. Just be the baddest woman there is and be happy with it. But dominating other women does not = She can beat a man that's remotely near her own skill level.
