From a technical perspective, what do you have to do to win this fight against Cyborg?
I need to be sharp and be on my game and fight my fight, and not get overwhelmed by her aggressive style. Keep my head about me. It's going to be an extremely tough fight. Cyborg is definitely my toughest opponent to date so I'll do what I can to be as sharp and powerful as I can that night.
What would you describe as her strengths as a fighter?
She's a complete, well-rounded fighter, she's good on the ground and she's good standing. She has a very aggressive, push-the-pace approach to fighting. She's a great fighter, definitely one of the best in the world, and that's what's going to make it so tough.

I think Cyborg fans are going to be sorely disappointed this Saturday.

I’m very surprised that there has been more made about the 5×5 rounds. I am very interested to see how the extra time affects their strategy and overall performance.

Check it out!!
Gina’s already mentioned that she doesn’t like it. I’m sure they’ll both gas out it Cyborg doesn’t GnP her to death early in the 1st round.

Seem to be alot of people counting Gina out before a punch has even been thrown. Understandably just looking at the two side by side, it would be hard to comprehend anything other than Cyborg leaving Carano’s face resembling a ransom note but i really think shes being underestimated, would love to see Carano win this one and i think she has the ability to do so.
Gina is going to end up with the same record that Cyborg used to have.

Obviously
You don’t even know shit about Kelly KOBOLD. You don’t even know her name.
I know one thing about her
She has a nice rack!
This. There really aren’t to many 145 lbs, so they are the the most notable at the moment.
Wait a couple of months. We will have a bunch of awesome fighters fighting at 145, and I am not just talking about Toughill.

your question is swallowing its own tail
the BE meta rankings are accurate only in the sense that they reflect the consensus of the MMA community. And the MMA community is mostly believing the hype.
Also there just aren’t enough sources ranking female MMA fighters yet to make the meta rankings worth doing. averaging two sites is not much of a contribution.

I spent seven years getting post high school education and I have no idea what that means.

She is more of a 135 lb fighter though. It will be interesting to see how her size compares against Gina or Cyborg.
