Cris Cyborg demolishes HIROKO

Here's the match video from last night's Strikeforce show with Cris Cyborg winning over HIROKO by TKO in 16 seconds. Cris came out and a right to the chin knocked HIROKO down. She decided not to go for a rear naked choke and let HIROKO get up. A couple more shots and HIROKO folded like a cheap suitcase and the ref stopped it. Was it an early stoppage? Maybe but why delay the inevitable? Supposedly afterwards HIROKO said she didn't remember anything from the match. Yikes! HIROKO's biggest mistake was not leaving Japan two years ago to train in the US. She works for a company that doesn't use full MMA rules. How is that supposed to prepare her for Cris Cyborg? It's delusional for her to think she can just waltz in here and compete with Cris. So now Strikeforce is asking Cris to drop to 135lb so she can keep busy. She says she will try. But my guess is this experiment won't pan out. Cris walks around at 170. That's a massive weight cut. And even if she makes 135, she might not be comfortable fighting at that weight. So what will Strikeforce do with Cris if she can't make 135? Eventually she will fight Ronda Rousey. But Strikeforce has already said that won't happen for a while. There just aren't many fighters at 145. But the first thing Strikeforce could do is bring back Marloes Coenen who I know would love another shot at Cris. Another fighter worth looking at is Romy Ruyssen of France. She has a 5-1 record and her only loss was to Marloes Coenen. I've seen her and she's a pretty good grappler. Match her up with Germaine de Randamie and see how she does. Other than those two, there ain't much. I wish Randi Miller would finally turn pro. That HIROKO with her heavily padded 12-1 record was ranked so high shows how weak the division is. As many long time readers will know, I don't bother with rankings so I didn't know where HIROKO was ranked until someone told me. Enjoy the video!
