Why not? Doubtful, very doubtful, but possible. Cyborg "officially" move down in weight?

How could it be a good announcement for Cyborg to move down in weight? That'd be like announcing that Ron Sparks will now be allowed to fight middleweights.

Just a thought, it's something that is already out there and most "announcements" aren't shockers. But it is a deeper division and leaves some of those women with nowhere to hide...unless of course these women suddenly decide "I can't make the cut anymore" lol

Maybe they found Cyborg's penis? That would change the game! In unrelated news, Gina is making a comeback.

They will now fight in the nude

anyone see a video there? nothing for me.

A women's only fight promotion...yeah I'm sure a lot of eyes will be on that

All I know is Michelle Waterson is fighting this weekend.

Probably something to do with Rousey getting a shot at Tate's title

It will be pretty lame if they are forcing Cyborg to cut to 135 when she has notoriously had trouble cutting to 145...but i don't think that is it.

That video posted is it. They are starting some women's only MMA promotion

Zuffa or Showtime affiliated?

You guys talking about Black Eye Promotions? Or Jewels maybe?

Yeah, unless it's directly affiliated with Zuffa or Showtime and getting it's own timeslot on TV..i don't see what the earth shaking news is.

I didnt see the announcement though.

Just as a Phoenix rises from the ashes, a new company is rising above to create a Women's MMA Community and Competition Platform for WMMA Fighters and Fans. Elite female fighters, New Hybrid talent, and Up and Coming fighters transitioning from amateur competition to professional level WMMA from around the globe will have the opportunity to compete in a Cage of Their Own. They will be fighting to earn their shot at a World Title in several weight divisions. Female Fighters will take center stage in a fan-friendly, energetic, and supportive competition environment, where they will no longer be the spectacle, the after-thought, or by-passed in the sport that they and their fans love: WMMA. Our company is focused and dedicated to soaring high above the rest to be the best for WMMA. Spring 2012 is when the fire and passion of WMMA will rise from the ashes and burn bright in a Cage of Their Own. We are Invicta Fighting Championships. We will be Invincible for WMMA.

meh

yeah wat? wat is there news.? It's like Black Eye and Jewels never existed.

womens MMA is barely staying afloat while it's affiliated with ZUFFA... how are they gonna do better without it

Sounds like a stable environment for up and comers to consistently have fights if this works. From there they can head to Zuffa or Bellator

Sounds like this is going to be like the WNBA and get subsidized by a larger company while it loses money/makes almost no profit each year assuming it lasts long enough for that.

i really just think its a friend of Miesha Tate's that is starting a womens org and she is helping give it some pub. I doubt it will be anymore impactful than Jewels, Blackeye, smackgirl, etc. Obviously Strikeforce(135-145) and Bellator(125 and lower) would be able to sign any girl they want from any org at any time except a couple good ones that are signed to ProElite.

The more the merrier i guess, but otherwise...very slow news day.

Sorry, I guess I was duped into thinking they actually had some kind of news. But if they find themselves on TV or make some streams available, I'll watch.
