I there is no way Cyborg or any other female fighter should get a pass because of this. They should adjust their weight to compensate for the worst circumstances. If that means coming into fights light, so be it.

All fighters are expected to make weight. There should be ZERO excuses. It’s a matter of professionalism.

if you know its gonna happen? 3rd week of every month, sorry Im booked. Its like, I know Im going to get the shits if I eat Chinese buffet, so I dont schedule a pick up basketball game right after.

I agree with what she has to say here but I also think it is pretty common to talk shit about someone who TKO’d you. On another note where does Tara Larosa fit in to the female mma picture?

Everytime I hear this discussion I just remember back to when Gina Carano missed weight the first time and blamed it on the same thing. Maybe the event can be called, Strikeforce: Women Problem.

But yeah, I still remember the hilarious (not sure if it was meant to be) radio show Sam Caplan and I think it was Matt Cava did back when Five Ounces was good after that Carano incident. Cava wanted no part of the discussion while Caplan kept on wondering whether it was harder for a woman as they had to cut “boob weight”.

Reading the rest of the interview, I think Baszler might be taking Kaufman lightly…

If I were a lady fighter, I’d be upset about stuff like that, too. It’s hard enough for her to be taken seriously as-is.

Is it weird that I kinda want to bang Cris Cyborg?

The phrase “woman problems” is a specific rhetorical device. It means “the end of a conversation.”
