in international kick-boxing after only a year or so of training in it. Youtube Cyborg's decision loss to the Dutch champ (it was only her 3rd fight in that style -- going up against a 6'0" woman who was the world champ). Though the score cards said otherwise (I really don't know how they score that precisely), she nearly fought that to a draw, though she was at a definite skill disadvantage to a much longer (not to mention, prettier ) woman. She lost a lot of points on a very questionable count, I think, but she hung in there & probably had a good shot at pulling out a KO had it been 6 rather than 5 rounds.
Call me Cyborg fan. I'd be quite shocked if her & Rousey didn't go a few rounds at least. Both are very good grapplers & strikers. I think I'd expect Rousey to prevail with the armbar, but I'd be a bit shocked (a bit, mind you) if it came for her easily. Cyborg could very easily shut her pretty lights out if she's not careful.
mutu.
