Dropped the wife and kids of at my mother in law's and decided to drink some whiskey and watch some tape. Started out with the early fights because I'll probably be to drunk and/or asleep to watch the late fights live.
Jessy Clark vs that Julia Stolichnaya
So powerlifter vs Lithuanian Ronda without the looks, athletic ability or anything else to write home about. 1 out of 3 black belts (and the only won with any decent competition wins as a black belt) on my Facebook friend list refers to biceps as "armbar defense".¨Not impressed by Clark's biceps, compared to what I had hoped.
Clark has gotten shit for having shit fight IQ since she decided to clinch a judo-chick her last fight, but as far as I can tell she tries to listen to her corner, it's just that she is kind of limited as a fighter. She's strong, seems to have fine cardio and hits hard as long as the other chick doesn't try to move away too much. She is also good at standing up when she gets taken down and has lots of experience. Looks really good fighting as long as the other chick is gassed out of her mind and doesn't fight back.
Vodka girl on the other hand seems to have decent armbars and other then that just runs in and throws random shit with no regards for defense or game plans. A bit like a less athletic PVZ who knows how to armbar people.
I predict that whoever loses a bet on this fight will cry about what a dumbass he is and swear never to bet on whoever he bet on again. I have to go with the underdog, due to something a very successful E-sport dude once said:
"When game is going full retard, you can only go with it. If you start going against it, if you start going half retard, you're done for!"
I think complete chaos is better than whatever the Clark's coaches tries to get her fighter to do. I also wanted the under, since both seems to hit decently hard and do lots of dumb shit, but the price seems a bit low. I also think that Julia might take a decision just by doing random stuff from bad position while Clark tries to control position.
