So, now that its official and Ronda Rousey is signed with the UFC, womens MMA (WMMA) looks to be on the threshold of breaking out in a way many of us never thought possible.

While Rousey alone cannot take credit for all the efforts and success WMMA has enjoyed since they made their entrance into the sport, she is certainly the main reason why Dana White reversed his long standing position on women in the octagon.

White has been blown away by Rousey and thanks to that, she and Miesha Tate are now in the UFC fold.

But the signing alone isnt worth a hill of beans if there arent any compelling fights to be had for the ladies.

White sounds passionate about a womens 135-pound division, so there is a lot of work to be done if he wants to acquire enough talent to make such a division, and that means taking some chances on fresh faces that may or may not have what it takes.

But amid all of this, there is one central fight that looms above it all, and thankfully it is centered around his new favorite star. The fight is Ronda Rousey vs. Cris Cyborg.

People can shout all they want about how Cyborg is just a cheater and how shes always been a cheater (much of this based on her power and her looks), and that will likely continue until the day Cyborg retires.

But none of that talk diminishes the simple fact that Cyborg is the only real legitimate threat to Rouseys kingdom.

Thus far, Cyborg is in a sport that allows for second chances, and third chances, and so on and so forth. Shes paying the price for her failed drug test, and once she is cleared by the commission, White should be all about the business of making the fight that matters the most for WMMA, even if many think it matters the most for all the wrong reasons.
