I legitimately believe that she can't make 135 and was under the delusion that she would be enough of a draw for them to create a 145 pound division featuring her smashing a bunch of cans.

I don't think it's ducking Ronda either. In fact, I could see Santos beating Rousey via TKO because her stand up is vicious and Rousey's never really been hit. Plus, I believe Santos would have a strength advantage that Miesha Tate never really had.

The truth is that most of the talented female fighters are at 135 and 125. Coker fucked up because he created 145 to appease Carano, who hates cutting weight, and ended up stuck with Guyborg when Carano lost.
