Cyborg would destroy Ronda easily in the first round via TKO, But when her suspension is over Roussey will probably refuse that fight.

Based on what? Fighting Akano who is technically 2 weight classes below her? Or beating Jan Finney? Marloes Coenen? Tate beat Marloes....just sayin.
The thing with Cyborg is that you can't be intimidated by "her". Ronda doesn't strike me as the type that gets intimidated by another fighter. That's half the battle. Its the Tyson syndrome. Plus, we have yet to see how Cyborg performs with no "enhancers". If it goes to the ground then the advantage shifts drastically in favor of Rousey.
Would be a perfect climax to a female season of TUF....Cyborg/Rousey as coaches.

I think cyborg would give Ronda hell just based on her striking and masculinity alone.

That's what I think is interesting about the matchup. Most people run from Cyborg, yet Rousey is gonna come right at her as quickly as possible to close the distance and get the clinch. We haven't seen how effective she is in the clinch (Cyborg). And I think Rouseys judo > Cyborgs bjj.
Sure Cyborg has power, but how much of that will be lost when she has to fight clean? Who knows. If Rousey can weather the initial barrage then I think its a very interesting fight.
