Definitely need a 145lb division for women.

She has always been that way though. Its hard to change a lifestyle unless you are very motivated.

Super Glue?
Muzzles?
No other choice to fight?

Besides, she needs to be at 135 to be competitive. Cyclops can man handler her at 145.

RR will probably man handle her too.

True, but before Cyborg, Gina's the one that whooped everyone's ass.

There will be soon, me thinks.

I'm not sure if they're in any rush to add women's weight classes, there just aren't enough talented women fighters right now. Adding more weight would just allow the few good ones to each win a title and avoid each other.

I think you're right on the money with this. If they added 145 right now then RR would just move up and dominate that weight class, too.

Plus they're adding the straw weight division (115lb) this year so they won't be adding another weight class for at least another year. If they do I think it will be 125lbs instead bc there's no a lot of heavier girls besides Cyborg that "need" to fight at 145lbs.

I also don't see a 145 anytime soon. Even on Strikeforce they killed that division after Cyborg got suspended and Gina retired.

There's more talent in 125 than 145 by far. All the heavier girls will have to make 135 or fight elsewhere.

UFC 181 Weidman vs Belfort

Ufc just confirmed this event for December 6th of this year. Vitor was granted a conditional license by the Nevada state athletic commission under the restrictions that he fights only in Nevada and undergoes whatever surprise drug tests they threw his way. Vitors last few fights have been very exciting but they also have all been in brazil where testing is non existent. Not sure a clean vitor poses much of a threat to weidman but I guess a lot of people want to see this fight.

I think Weidman wins this fairly easy. I think Machida was a bigger threat than Vitor. You really just have the weather the early storm that is Vitor. If Weidman can get past the first round unscathed then he'll be fine. Especially now that Vitor is supposedly clean. His physique will tell the story. When he first came back to the UFC and fought Franklin and Silva his physique was very soft. Now he looks like he could compete as a damn body builder.

It's a mental game and that has to be a huge disadvantage competing clean after you're used to being juiced up for so long. I know myself personally I feel kinda shitty about myself when I'm off completely. No matter what he does in training he's not gonna be able to get into as good of shape as he was without help and that's gotta mess with your confidence.
