People are forgetting about the other hype train derailed at UFC 257

[The Chosen]

Amanda Ribas... her standup looked awkward and she got KO’d twice in like 50 seconds in the 2nd round. This isn’t Jiu Jitsu this is fighting!

 

[The Chosen]

I see Ribas possibly coming back, but there are other fighters in the division that hit harder so she may be unwilling to exchange now

 

[BRASIL WAND]

Lol it’s WMMA Bruv... it’s all overrated.

 

[pick999]

To no ones suprise

 

[Jesus ODI]

its wmma brah just watch it for the kinda good looking ones tbh

 

[DS66]

Marina Rodriguez was pretty underrated, her striking is as legit as it gets in WMMA. Ribas has pretty rudimentary striking, but she's still young in the game. I think she still has a pretty good career ahead of her if she continues to improve.

 

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

Meh... flask KO’s at SW are one in a million. She’ll be back

She looked like a killer last night.

The truth is, a rangy striker like Marina Rodriguez would absolutely kick the shit out of the vast majority of men. Couch warriors have no clue how hard some women can strike. Or how fast they are.

WMMA haters always say women can't compete with men, and at the elite level that is true. But the average Sherbro is not trained, and an elite WMMA striker would absolutely massacre an untrained person of almost any size.

That s the one wearing yellow that faceplanted ? Was thinking she was pretty hot. Nice legs.

My perspective on WMMA changed when I tried BJJ and the girls there I out weighted by like 60lbs would tap my left and right at will

Marina deserves respect, glad Dana said good stuff about her. She's had a tough run and fought grappler after grappler, shown so much grit on her back and drawn or won fights many would have lost with that much time on your back, she's a tough son of a fuck and I can't wait to see her in a true stand up battle.

Anyone in the top 5 y'all would match her with next ?

Rodriguez is an absolute beast with serious power. I enjoy her fights.

She offers something very rare in that division, serious finishing ability.

Happy for her.

Hypetrain implies somebody was hyped about her. Dude, nobody was hyped. If anything people were pissed about them putting that shit onto the main card.

 

[K1levelstriking]

The promos may differ from country to country, but in Australia they did a five minute promo on Ribas before the fight like they did with O'Malley - once again putting the jinx on them.

The UFC were throwing heaps of marketing behind her and putting her on main cards. They don't do that sort of thing unless there's some sort of hype.

 

[SouthSide971]

That elbow in the clinch made me hard in 5 second

She definitely had hype, people were saying she was a possible title challenger

Just means that they wanted to create hype. Doesn't mean it worked out.

Would love to see her vs Joanna. That would be an awesome striking matchup, I don't get too excited for a non-title WMMA fight but that one would get me pretty pumped. If not Joanna, than maybe vs Michelle. I think Waterson would probably end up trying to grapple in that one.

Who exactly? I never even heard that name before
