But she isn't a former champion so how is this relevant to the topic?
Why would you be happy to see her win the belt only when the actual champ retires? The champ who KO'd her in a title defence btw.I'm happy to see her win it. She's had a ton of fights and a lot of ups and downs. Nice to see her get that belt.
You better put some hespect on the warrior. Dude beat the orignal 200 lb Khabib (With a little help with the American referees), the mighty Pele, and Carlos Newton in one night. He fought like 15 in 1999, losing only to the promotion honcho/hancho in Tamura. Fought bigger guys on short notice multiple times. Don't you dare to use the name of the warrior in the same line that these bitches Montaño or "Rockie"Dave Menne, Nicco Montana, move over
Dave Menne, Nicco Montana, move over
Then send Invicta to Bolivia.Send all the women to Invicta.
That was shameful for sureSkill wise, probably.
That said, Germaine De Randemie will always go down as the worst champion in my book. Won the belt with some of the dirtiest late hits (twice), then literally ran away from the belt because she was afraid to fight Cyborg whomst the weight class was literally made for.
Silva was shook after two rounds. Her body language spoke I just lost this fight. She has no way to cope with adversity, ala Mike Malott.She wasn't even excited. This shit was horrible. Silva didn't throw more than 3 punches. She froze HARD and fought stupid.
I usually enjoy WMMA but this one was turrble. Dana looked disgusted.

Nicco was only champion because they did a season of TUF to crown a champion and Valentina and Jennifer Maia were too good for that.I don't think Nicco has a better resume than Racquel but I do think she had a unique path to the title that's hard to compare.
Raquel is only champion because Nunes wanted to spend time with her family
Nah... Believe it or not, I actually love WMMA. They do have mad snoozers though, but men do too.Is this something you say to not sound like an asshole or something?
4/5 women's fights are snoozers that go to a decision. This one was no different, and it was a co-main on a PPV. Ridiculous.
I don't consider Nicco an actual champ.Nicco was only champion because they did a season of TUF to crown a champion and Valentina and Jennifer Maia were too good for that.
She has an interesting story coming into TUF as a nobody and winning the whole thing, I'll give you that. But that doesn't make her a better champion. Nicco didn't even fight the other semifinalist, she faced a last minute replacement in Roxy. You could take away half of Pennington's wins and she would still have the better resume
