You can sure bet Erin isn’t mentioning hers. Sarah was saying on tapout radio that Erin probably walks around at 200.

It wouldn’t suprise me.

Hence why I'm not as optimistic about her chances versus Cyborg
Simply due to the questions about Toughill’s ability to even get that title fight at this point.
Toughill is a MUCH better striker than Cyborg……..but the fact that she’s more into being a diva than fighting worries me. She’s just not that interested in fighting. Her weight is all over the place and she’s been really inactive. If she was in shape and fighting actively I’d pick her over Cyborg all day long. These days, not so much.

That's sad :(
Erin has the skillset to beat Cyborg too.
Too bad for her then that Cyborg's hungrier...
… enough to actually make weight (for a title fight anyway).
At this point Toughill will have to beat Shana Olsen in non-bullshit fashion (not impossible or even improbable, just saying that a “crappy” win can screw it up), actually get booked to challenge Cyborg, make weight and not get into some disagreement with Strikeforce again.
Yeah but Cyborg is Cyborg
Really man, Cyborg will always be dominant, she’s Cyborg! I’m just glad Strikeforce offers women’s MMA so we can even have this discussion cough UFC
I am maybe 30-45 mins from Comcast Arena
But I have other commitments so I won’t go to the event but I’ll see if there’s any serious coverage coming along.
If the excitement gets too exciting I bet Mauro’s screaming will reach my home.
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
I think tickets are priced at $22, $42, $62, and $102
And I haven’t read anything that says the arena has sold out.

I haven't even heard anything about the event in general
Are they even advertising in Seattle?

I've seen one
And they completely botched the fighting matchup.

Deo's fanpost from earlier totally takes away any excitement of the Kaufman fight for me

Toughill's state of mind and grasp on reality is.....shall we say, unstable?
Walking the line between intelligence and ignorance since 1985
@deowade
Um yea I'd say so
But damn Olsen’s response is just so bad ass

OK, I get it. You were looking for a beauty contest not a fight.

No, I'm looking forward to Olsen vs Toughill waaaaaaaaaay more than this fight is what im saying
RIP Phil Harris. I'll miss you man
I still wanna see a Del Rosario vs. Lashley matchup
but I don’t recall how much Lashley usually comes in weighing. Would Shane be giving away alot of weight?

Rooting for Roxy here :)
Good lord, that talk about learning about someone by fighting with them… as if more ammo was needed for the “weeaboo!” rumor mill.
You can safely get rid of the rumor part.
Roxy is an uber weaboo. She lives in Japan for chrissake.
BTW, Kaufman hasn’t shown me anything to convince me that she deserves to share the cage with Roxy.
War Roxy

Kaufman was the one talking about cookies
Here‘s Roxy:
That is such a cool statement, my opinion of her went up a hundred fold. :D
Maybe she was referring to fighting cyborg with her cookies comment, (hell I ate muffins every day for a week to gain to fight Marloes) and the man parts with the fact men get star spots in the sport rather than women. She wouldn’t call Cyborg a man.
aw gotchya, thanks!

Welcome
And to answer subo’s question, in light of Roxy’s comment I think Coenen may have done better at putting on the pounds with muscle, unless Roxy was being facetious or sarcastic.
I don't think she was.

Here's an article from mma.tv about it
http://www.mixedmartialarts.com/mma.cfm?go=blogs.Detail&gid=19927
Wednesday Oct 28, in Tokyo, Japan where Roxy lives and trains, she awoke at 2:00 am to her cell phone ringing – her manager Shu Hirata was calling from New York to see if she would take a rematch against Marloes Coenen the following Saturday
The fight was at 145 (with a one pound allowance as it was non title), Roxy walks around at 137 or so, can lose five pounds in a single workout, and the commission rule was there could be maximum five pounds difference. Marloes is usually listed at 70 kg (154 lbs) so we figured she would take the extra pound. To be safe Roxy had to make 141. The plan entailed a two-pronged approach, first, IHOP, second, water.
The water pounding began anew. Weigh in was in jeans at 141.6. Marloes weighed in wearing pretty much nothing but a six pack at 145.2,

So bear in mind

What happened is that Marloes is HUGE.
She’s just much physically larger.

subject line
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
