Hard to blame her when she can go out a make much better money boxing.

She also has a point.
She won't ever create the ground or TDD needed to be the best.
She could wreck scrubs but Kayla's and the like would always steamroll her.

I don't particularly like her boxing but she is better at it.

Contract ran dry just like Francis and Jake’s I guess.

She was 2-1 vs scrubs and lost multiple rounds of her winning fights.
Boxing is obviously much easier money for her while elite MMA would pay more she'd never get there.


Side note her movie was actually really good to watch better than one of her fights.

Makes sense, she went life and death in most of her fights didn't she?

That and she was not a good talent MMA wise.

That one fighter she lost to was Godawful. Straight up huggy bear.

While we don’t know what PFL was paying her, she does not make a lot of money boxing. She’s not attached to a big time promoter, and nobody cares when she fights. It also doesn’t help that she fights in dead divisions.

The most likely answer

She got schooled.

Guess PFL ran out of substitute teachers and little league cheerleading coaches to try to feed her.

weird how she never developed a ground game considering how her brother is world class on the ground
