Women's 145 Is A Bigger Joke Than We Thought

[Coolidge]

This is the Top 15 for Women's 145 (global), according to this list:

#1 Cyborg Justino - 18 wins and 1 loss
#2 Julia Budd - 10 wins and 2 losses
#3 Megan Anderson - 7 wins and 2 losses
#4 Germanine de Randamie - 7 wins and 3 losses
#5 Charmaine Tweet - 9 wins and 6 losses
#6 Alexis Dufresne - 6 wins and 3 losses
#7 Amanda Bell - 5 wins and 4 losses
#8 Gabrielle Holloway - 6 wins and 5 losses
#9 Latoya Walker - 5 wins and 1 loss
#10 Marloes Coenen - 23 wins and 8 losses
#11 Amber Leibrock - 2 wins and 1 loss
#12 Leah Letos - 4 wins and 1 loss
#13 Daria Ibragimova - 9 wins and 2 losses
#14 Ediane Gomes - 11 wins and 4 losses
#15 Felicia Spencer - 3 wins and 0 losses

12 of them have under 10 wins. 7 of them have bad win/loss ratios. Almost all of them are green. The wins they do have are against manure-tier opponents.

For instance, here are the last five opponents that Charmaine Tweet has beaten:

Latoya Walker - 5 wins and 1 loss
Anna Barone - 2 wins and 5 losses
Veronica Rothenhausler - 1 win and 1 loss
Jessica Miele - 5 wins and 3 losses
Anna Barone - 2 wins and 5 losses

None of this would have happned if Gina had beaten cyborg

 

[Reach4theSky]

I'm surprised there's actually 15 fighters in that division..

 

[Chindit]

As far I know, Marloes is retired...

 

[Coolidge]

As far I know, Marloes is retired...

Yeah, I just remembered that and put a slash through her name about a minute ago.

 

[cevo]

Didn't even know that there were more than 5 fighters in the division.

The division has no talent.

It is pretty bad, but it's new. Here are the 1998 UFC LW rankings, for perspective...

Lightweight

1. Pat Miletich (19-2-2, 3-0)
2. Mikey Burnett (4-2, 1-1)
3. Chris Brennan (5-2-1, 1-1)
4. Eugenio Tadeu (2-2, 0-1)
5. LaVerne Clark (2-2, 1-0)
6. Townsend Saunders (0-1, 0-1)
7. Courtney Turner (0-3, 0-1)
8. Josh Stuart (0-1, 0-1)

Daria, one of the "best" records on that list, has no (or almost no? can't remember for sure) wins over opponents with winning records at the time she fought them. Only 1 or 2 of them have gone on to have winning records now.

Those are the global rankings I posted. Women's Featherweight has been around for over a decade and it sucks more than ever.

 

[Dead Kennedy]

Yea I still don't understand why they put in the "Borg's" division. More of a headache if anything if you ask me. Plus why would they want to promote this...

 

[TheHNICuLuv2Hate]

I bet Cyborg is a bigger draw than FLW.

Every division is a joke at first. Give it time and it'll evolve.

 

[Son of Sonnen]

In b4 the global run from Cyborg conspiracy is brought forth.

Every division is a joke at first. Give it time and it'll evolve.

But this is a division that's been around forever. That's a list of 145'ers across all the different MMA organizations. The added money and attention from the UFC might help, but there should already be some talent at this point.

 

[Coolidge]

Don't lie, that's really you in your AV, I'm pretty sure.

You're slower than I thought.

 

[Coolidge]

In b4 the global run from Cyborg conspiracy is brought forth.

The division is so terrible because all of the good fighters refuse to compete for fear that they might have to fight Cyborg.

Or something.

 

[Captain Herb]

You're slower than I thought.

Honestly, it looks just how I picture you irl.

 

[moreorless87]

None of this would have happned if Gina had beaten cyborg

Its forgotten really that 145lbs was only introduced to help Gina and then kepy on for Cyborg by SF, prior to that there was an informal agreement that women would aim for 135lbs to try and maximise the talent in that division.

 

[Coolidge]

Honestly, it looks just how I picture you irl.

You should appreciate it then because Cyborg doesn't look any better (and that's a hard face to compete with).
