if you guys dont think shes will DESTROY everybody at 145+ then you just dont get it... Cyborg has a 0% chance vs Kayla... Cyborg will get subbed in 9 seconds

C'mon man. You're a long time fan of MMA, that's a bit naive, don't you think? Olympic Judoka = never been punched in the head before. I'm excited to see a new highly skilled athlete join the ranks, but subbing Cyborg in 9 seconds?

I don't know why you think she is on 'roids, but as an olympic athlete she has been under a more rigorous testing regime than the UFC has even now with USADA.

She will be fighting at 145, no company could build that division around her, there is very little talent and most that does exist is signed to Invicta.
This is a dumb move by WSOF, they are already struggling and have no WMMA. Signing a few Lds and tossing them at Kayla is not going to save them.

Maybe it's just a hail mary attempt to see if she can do something big regardless of the odds she can't.
Like Carano in StrikeForce and Rousey in StrikeForce.

SF was not in as much trouble as WSOF is. The start of the end for SF was losing the CBS deal.

But if WSOF is already in trouble, why not go for a hail mary? bankrupt is bankrupt.
(or at least sell Marlon Moraes to Bellator!)

It's why I said hopefully she doesn't sign an exclusive contract.
And yeah for a second tier promotion, it'll be possible to build a 145 lb division around a prospect. Unlike cyborg where zuffa/ invicta wasn't willing or able to find suitable opponents, this is a prospect that's a gold medalist. So the draw can be on Seeing how she does against different type of opponents.
I agree on WSOF. Hopefully she's able to fight elsewhere also.

UFC/Invicta/WSOF/Bellator/OneFC contracts are all exclusive, giving each company the right to refuse outside fights.

If that's the case, then it might be a mistake on her part. What if WSOF gets sold to another promotion or simply goes under. Also WSOF doesn't run enough cards.
I still feel a promotion can build it's145lb division around her cause she's a prospect.
