im so nervous for Tatiana. I've waited years for her to come to mma then to come to the UFC

 

[BisexualMMA]

Shit. That chick on the right looks like the kid from the Bronski Beat video.

The coaches seem to have no strategy concerning the match making. Just throw the first picks in together and see what happens lol. Same thing with the previous fight, 2 of the strongest competitors on the season and Joanna matches them together. i'm not complaining but it's kinda funny. should make for great fights too!

SportsJOE speaks to JJ Aldrich, the most Irish fighter on the Ultimate Fighter 23
If Irish fans are looking for someone to support on season 23 of the Ultimate Fighter, JJ Aldrich is your best bet.

From the article:

"Suarez (3-0) is a strong wrestler and she [Aldrich] knew her [Suarez's] gameplan was to try to use that to her advantage.
However, taekwondo black belt Aldrich's plan was to go in looking to fight on the feet."

The Ultimate Fighter Blog: Episode 3

By Amanda Cooper May 04, 2016

From the blog:

Tatiana was my teammate, so I had the advantage of knowing her strengths and weaknesses from mat time versus speculation and what I knew coming into the show. She is a very credentialed wrestler with a well-versed knowledge of Jiu-jitsu to compliment that skill. All of us as a team felt that Tatiana would be able to beat any of the women on the opposing team.

We felt as a team that JJ Aldrich would be an easier matchup simply because of the physical and wrestling skill difference. JJ brings a well-rounded skill set, she’s tough, and aggressive. However, Tatiana is a true specialist in a certain aspect of the game and we felt that she would be able to implement her game plan effectively and neutralize the advantages JJ would have. The biggest factor I felt was a legitimate threat to Tatiana was the fact that JJ is a southpaw.

Tatiana’s biggest weakness, in my opinion, from training with her and knowing her previous bouts, was the fact that she does not take being hit well. She also struggles more against southpaws and tends to get desperate if shots start landing consistently. With all of this being said, I felt that no one on the opposing team would have an answer for the wrestling of Tatiana.

Agreed! I think JJ has that same blank-zombie-robot staring into the pit of your soul stares that Thug Rose, one of her training partner, is famous for!

WAR mini-JJ!!!

Not so!
Of the 11 players of
The TUF 23 Trivial Games of Reality and Leisure vol. 3.0
that have made their predictions so far, 6 went with Tatiana and only 5 went with JJ.

yeah but some say they picked Tatiana but are rooting against her. Even worse.

People are more likely to know JJ because all of her pro fights were on Invicta FC cards. Also she trains with popular Rose Namajunas (and more recently she's been training with Shannon Sinn to help prepare Sinn for Invicta 17 this weekend).

 

[curryjunkie]

nothing against tatiana but i hope jj wins.
according to the preview, more bitching is in store, hope this aint a template for future episodes, that shit gets old quick.

 

[BrazilianDude]

Has the show not started in the US? Fight is over in the brazilian broadcast.

Spoiler

holy shit, Tatiana is strong as a bull. Complete domination.

Damn, JJ is annoying. One hell of a fighter though
