Then Cyborg responded that she wasn’t interested in fighting Shields at 154, since she already failed to make the weight, so she offered her a bout at 147. This confused journalist Ryan Songalia, and he asked that the offer should have been for a higher weight. At this, Shields made a post on X, where she said, “She wants me to not be able to make 154 but I can. She’s creating a narrative based off my mma fight in Saudi Arabia where me & my opponent agreed to fight at 165 Cris is scary & intimidated.
