PFL's Claressa Shields trains with Jon Jones and Holly Holm

Good luck. Hopefully they help her. I'd like to see her do well but somehow I fear she might have done better with another gym. Time will tell.

It's the middle weight devision for women... she'll be fine.. she literally signed to the only org where there's one girl worth her time. Kayla Harrison the double olympic gold judoka.

Ah, true. Hadn't thought it through enough. Thanks!

I'm not too high on any boxers doing all that well in MMA. Especially the women we've seen don't show much promise.
 
Hope she stayed away from the former BJJ coach.
 
Good for her. This is better for women’s boxing than wmma, as women’s boxing could use the exposure this might give it.
 
She's gonna have to really put time in on the mat to be competitive in wmma.

As in she's gonna need to actually live on a mat. Like as in sleep on a jiujitsu mat....and live and breathe grappling

to be fair Clarissa is a genuinely impressive athlete and boxer unlike 99% of other women boxers . The sport isn’t developed and the talent is shallow.

Also I’ve never understood why people try to pretend that boxers can’t adapt to MMA. Yeah sure a grappler can learn to check a leg kick and a kick-boxer can develop a ground game and NFL fighters with no combat experience can transition... but somehow boxers with excellent striking fundamentals and athletic ability will somehow struggle if they take training for the sport seriously?
