The list of fights I’d like to see before the world ends has been updated in the past few months. For example, Melendez/Alvaraez didn’t seem like a possibility in this reality until Michael Chandler ended Alvarez’s reign at the top of the Bellator lightweight tree. That’s probably near the top of my list. I didn’t have any females on the list before, but with Rousey continuing her armbar apocalypse and Cris Cyborg coming back to MMA so soon I can’t imagine why. When you’re the wrong side of sober and you pass a fast food place, you find something you never knew you wanted until that precise moment, like a family bucket meal or dipping fries in your milkshake. The Cyborg/Rousey matchup is kinda like that for me. Until Scott Coker told Ariel Helwani that it would happen, I had completely missed the potential for one of the biggest and best female MMA fights in the history of the sport. I’m sure I’m the only one who missed this to be honest but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t watch the video below in which Scott Coker discusses all things Strikeforce with Helwani including the Cyborg/Rousey fight.
