Could you take Cris Cyborg?
Loading ...This poll will be the definitive answer to the age-old question, "Are men better than women?"
We’ll know if this belief still holds true if guys who have 1 year of training under their belt and weigh 150 lbs answer ‘yes’.
I know that light heavyweights and above will all probably unanimously agree that they can (it’s tough to overcome such a big weight difference), but when we get to the welterweight division and below, the question gets a lot murkier, so I want to see what you think.
A few notes about her skills:
- Started training in 2004
- Currently has a Purple Belt in BJJ (I believe)
- Trains at the Chute Boxe Academy
- About 5′8" tall
- Fights at 145, but probably walks around at 160 lbs, plus or minus 5 lbs
- Married to and trains heavily with this guy:
And based on her performance against Jan Finney, it’s clear that she’s got some great power endurance to keep beating on someone for an extended period of time.
BTW - if you didn’t see the fight, here’s the vid from our good friends over at YouTube:
And if you’re at all keen, on top of your vote, leave a comment with some of your stats, including:

Can’t wait to read your comments below!
My age is 33.
My height is 5′9″.
My weight is 195lbs. Fighting weight is 185lbs.
MMA experince is mininum. No current Pro fights. I currently train at “The Dawg Pound Gym”. I am a purple belt in BJJ.
I win via Submission in the 2nd round.
Yeah right!
51
5″10
250lbs
NONE
She’d K.O. me in, oh, giving some benefit of my
fight experience from the ’70’s and early ’80’s, let’s say…..
FIFTEEN SECONDS!!!
I’m 24
5′11
I weight 260 lbs.
No actual MMA experience, but do train Kick Boxing and BJJ.
Although I’m a white belt.
Cyborg would win via submission (Me = Exhausted) lol
Age 30
Height 5′11
170lbs
MMa Experience none. Wrestling,jiujitsu, little boxing.
I believe i could knock her out. She cant handle my power i dont think. Im dealing with a herniated disk right now so my power is low and as of today she would tko me. She probably walk through my strikes. But normally i think i could ko her. I think i could do to her what she did to that girl.
Age 35

Height 6′0
200 lbs.
MMA Experience – UFC,TKO,APEX and some others…
I think it’s a lose/lose experience. If you win you beat up a girl and if you lose you got beat up by a girl
She seems to swing for the fences with her strikes, so I’d use a little movement and keep smacking her with the jab and 1-2 combos from outside.
lol this blog post is hilarious Eric.
Anyways, the fact that Eric’s my conditioning coach means that my cardio won’t be a factor so I’d be ready for the entire 3 rounds. I think I finish it in the first though
.
Hahaha yeah man lose/lose no doubt!
I know you’d use those long arms to keep her at bay then finish her off with one of those nasty straight right hands down the pipe…
The classic Chute Boxe style (think Wanderlei) leaves her open to some devastating power down the middle.

Cris would kill me. And she would also kill Steve no matter how powerful he thinks he is LOL. Cris is just an awesome fighter, I think she is the GSP female edition. She has everything stand up and ground game, tip top conditioning and she just keeps getting better and better.
BTW, I was not at awe seeing Fedor tap. I think he is good but highly overrated in the last few years.
Fedor is one of the greats and has vicious knockout power, but he has been stunned by both Rogers and Arlovski recently, but they could not finish and left their jaws a little too exposed lol
But like he said in the post-fight – he is just a man, it was the media that made him into the god that a lot of people perceived him to be.
age 42 5′9″ 82kg no mma -jj kyushin kyu international gold medalist 25 wins 2 defeats – i would rather take her out than take her on she is awsome
Haha good call except then you’d have to look out for Mr. Cyborg…

Experience: None, i started going to an mma school about 1yr ago. I go 3x a week. 2x for bjj and 1 day for stand up. I think if I don’t land a hard punch on her jaw quickly I’m in BIG TROUBLE! That women is a beast! lol Chris Cyborg by guillotine choke because I will go in for a takedown out of shere fear of getting smashed by her and get choked out. Lol best wishes to all on the board!
Wouldn’t fight a women no matter how soft or tough she is. So she would win by DQ for me being a no show.
51 year old female, 125-lb, not a fighter.
My reflexes suck. My eye-balls would be rolling on the floor after the first punch which would take, oh, about one second.

Trained in taekwondo for 2 years.am currently training in pankration,bjj,kickboxing and wrestling.no amateur or professional bouts.my conditioning is good,i have more than decent kicks and cardio but as of now she would probably crush me.lets face it she does this for a living,she has experience and wars under her belt and stepping into the cage with cris for my first fight wouldnt be the best idea.
No doubt bro… nothing to be ashamed of at all – she’s the real deal!

Mrs. Cyborg will TKO the crap outta me, but only after I gas. (doing sprint laps around the cage takes its toll when you’re crying). Probably from back mount (it’s more honourable, I can hide my tears).
you sir are self aware
Thank you Lance. I’m strong, I’m tough. But I’m not CYBORG TOUGH!!!

0-1 (sub) training for oct fight, train 6 days a week
I’d like to think I can keep her on the outside and use my power to win tko/ko, I’d expect her to be fast and strong and would def. want to avoid the ground game with her, that said, I think she is an awesome fighter and a huge role model for me and my wife!
just wanted to add that if I was under 185 I think she would definatley put a beating on me for truth.
I never mentioned what I think my chances would be – I think Cyborg would crush me – she’s a purple belt in BJJ and has been dedicating her life to training for the past 6 years at a good academy (Chute Boxe)…
My white belt in BJJ and raw boxing skills I think would get quickly exposed if matched up against her.

no mma
a little boxing and jiu-jitsu
I would lose by ferocious beating that would go on far far too long before the ref stepped in. I would act tough in the ring for a while after the fight, I would cry after(back stage interviews, dressing room ex.)
Age: 17
Height: 5′8″
Weight: 145
NO MMA Experience just reflex bag and wrestling with my cuzin and older brother
She would crush me first round, second round I would come out and she would GNP me for a little bit then i would catch her in a triangle. So I would win
Age: 17
Height: Round 6′2″
Weight: 156 give or take
No ring experience but plenty of sparring in both muay thai and bjj.
I think given my age and that she would by far have alot more experience than me she would probably win in the stand up – but i think after watching that vid that my strategy would be to avoid boxing with her and focus mainly on my kicks. I think i could beat her in the clinch just because i’d be stronger and taller, but the only way i’d win is to keep my distance and use my reach.
Age:42
Height:5′4″
Weight:192
MMA Experience: None
I think that there are 2 ways I could win. First she could trip on a pipe or something as she walked out to the ring ala Kevin Randleman. Second. because of my regrettably rotund body, I could fall on her and crush her.
Realistically, I would be the first person to ever tap out due to staredown.. she frightens me.
LOL!!
My age is 45
My height is 6′2″.
My weight is 195lbs.
MMA experince is nil. Fighting experience is a few years working security in night clubs, about 8 years on the rugby field, and currently training BJJ for last 2 years – handy white belt for an old guy.
She would win by any number of means. Maybe I could avoid a KO if I could keep it standing and use my reach to keep her fists from my now suspect chin but I think she’d take it down eventually (like after about 30 seconds) and win via either ground and pound or submission. and I’d love every minute of it.
Fedor is still the king. Humble in defeat and still young enough to comeback and take on the best and win.
I agree – Fedor said himself that he is just a human and it’s everyone else who has been hyping him up…
He did look a little extra soft around the middle this fight too… Although the fact that the fight only lasted a minute or so his fitness wasn’t a factor in his loss…

No fights in MMA. It doesn’t matter what I do or have trained in she would slap me like a red headed step child!!
She would beat her husbands ass too!!
Damn, I didn’t know red headed step children had it so tough…
My age is 33
My hieght is 5′7″
My wieght is 170 lbs.
Mid Teens to Early 2o’s: Blue Belt TKD, Boxing in College, Yellow Belt in Judo, and Purple Sash in Kung Fu…about 8 years socialising and travelling… Muay Thai for about 18 months, MMA for about 6 months.
I would beat Cyborg by repeating head butting her fist with my face.
Alternatively I would kick her in the nuts… c’mon is she really a women? Unnatural.
Age: 24
Height: 1,85 m
Weight: 105 kg
I did Judo, Ju Justu and I’m still doing JKD since 2007, but I got no contest experience, so this would be hard for me to win. I think she’ll win by decision.
Age: 18
Height: 5′7.5″
Weight: 75 kg
I have no training experience but I have self taught my moves from using internet. I have played rugby being the top tackler and have a very good knowledge on judo, BJJ, wrestling moves and their counters, professional as well. I think my weight fits my height so I am fit to fight. I do strength training with bench press starting at 40 kg and cardio with at least 45 minutes of walking a day without rest. If I trained and got into a martial art school, I think my skill and strategy could help me win, for now, I’m not so sure but I think my determination is definitely strong enough for me to win.
Age – 19
Height – 186cm

MMA Experience – Lots of sparring over a time period of around 6 months. Also had previous amateur boxing matches and amateur muay thai bouts.
Have trained extensively in boxing, muay thai and although not having a belt in BJJ, i know and have learned many submissions from the internet, dvds etc and have praticed them in spariing so they work in a real life situation. I believe that i would be able to stick and move and use my heaight and hand speed to keep cyborg off me for the first round. I believe that i would be taken down in the second round but would be able to lock in a guillotine whilst in the middle of cyborg’s takedown attempt (my best submission) and so possibly gain the submission win. Cyborg is a beast though.

No offense intended by this, but if you still think guillotines are a viable solution while in the middle of a takedown you’re fucked against a high level grappler. She’s not gonna take you down and lay in your guard…
I don’t fight girls

Off the main topic, Fedor is an MMA veteran and he has probably accumulated many injuries by now.He doesnt just fight in MMA but in all the Sambo/Judo contests in Russia and the world,therefore further wearing himself out. Also his age is slowly starting to creep in, therefore it is no suprise that he is starting to loose that extra edge which he always had over his opponents.I think that we are still lucky to see him fight these days.My other MMA idol Igor Vovchanchyn had to finish his career long ago because of all the damage he had incurred over the years fighting and if you compare/contrast his fights in the beggining of his career with the end of it, you will see two completely different people.

This is a fun question:) Karate black belt, seven full contact fights, training since age 9. 2 Years og bjj(blue belt). 1 year of MMA, only sparring fights. I dont see myself loose. I would need first round to feel her out(not up, shes a man), then TKO her early second round. LOL.

How you’d win/or lose vs. Cyborg: I think I could take her just based on size/strength/reach advantage… Maybe KO straight right?

How you’d win/or lose vs. Cyborg: I would win by giving her the nastiest Chinese Burn to her left forearm that she has ever had until she taps out…. Of course I’d film it and post it on youtube!!!!
Oh man, Chinese burn is the best move that I’ve never seen used in MMA!
That and the Nipple Cripple……

14 years experience training in many different styles. Minimal experience competing, but looking forward to more.
I win via KO or choke.
My 47 years of experience tell me not to fight girls. Jan Finney impressed me that she could take a beating like that from a machine. Cyborg does have some vulnerabilities. She got tagged a few times herself and we really didnt get to see her ground fighting skills. I will leave this one to the professionals. Cyborg is very polished but not unbeatable. Finney may fare better in a rematch.
