6th dan blackbelt and a couple of golden Olympic medals. That's pretty stacked.
At age 26 I don't see too much future, tho she can prove me wrong.

This and Mackenzie Dern a top 3 WBJJ GAOT building up her MMA record can only mean good things for the sport.

 

[Hulk Brogan]

you mean she's returning after losing her belt

 

[Tamriel Terror]

didn't she weight like 170 for competing ?

Should've signed with Rizin and fought Gabi

 

[The punisher]

She'll beat Cyborg, if that Lansberg chick who was a flyweight or bantamweight was tying her up so easy imagine what a Judoka who is actually the SAME SIZE as Cyborg would do to her, this could be the first potential opponent that Cyborg wouldn't have freakish advantages over.

Same day weigh-ins and she can drop some bodyfat. 145 is doable. 135, not so much unless she turns out to be one hell of a weight cutter, but I would be surprised.

Gold medals are better than 4th place bronze right?

Just a wee bit, yes.

How is 26 old? How old were Cormier and McMann when they transitioned?

 

[WeidmansDad]

Reminder no one watches WMMA unless Ronda is involved

It's old when you are 13, I suppose. Average age of the posters in this section of the board.

Hott'rn two squirrels humpin in a wool sock, compared to Harrison:

 

[KYS]

that Lansberg chick

Her name is Lina Lansberg, OK?

 

[Vitor CroCop]

true. She's the only one I enjoy watching getting kicked in the fucking face.

 

[sllimkcaj]

She has a great base to start from we'll see if she has what it takes to compete at an elite level in MMA.

Cormier and McMann (or Randy and Hendo who I also thought of) aren't even great comparisons either, Brock would probably be a better comparison given the depth of the division Kayla would fight in... lol

It's not like the talent pool in WMMA is so deep that a specialist can't easily pick up the necessary tools to be competitive. And 26 is easily young enough to do that.

Holly Holm came from a non grapplng background at the age of 30 and won UFC gold.

Right nobody has any interest in JJ, Karolina, Claudia, Cyborg, Meisha, PVZ, Karate hottie, Rose etc

 

[Aluminati]

If she hits up a legitimate gym, she could be champion.

Yeah, but also given the level of WMMA knowledge of said 13-year olds . . . .
