Cris Cyborg is the best women's fighter in the world at 145 pounds, but for years there have been questions -- and hope -- about her moving down to 135 to face marquee names, starting with Ronda Rousey. The UFC does not have a 145-pound women's division, because there is a scarcity of elite talent at that weight outside of Cyborg, who is the most dominant female fighter in the world.
Marloes Coenen has been in Cyborg's shoes. She was asked to go down to 135 pounds from her natural division of 145 in Strikeforce.
