Dern is shook already.

It was a lot easier a few years ago when I could say WMMA is really new so the women have only been training a couple of years. Now it just apparent that men > women in sports.
Just a week or two ago I saw some sports news about the russian national women’s ice hockey team that had played against some boys team (under 16 year olds). The boys team had won 16-0

:eek:

Andrande is done and Derm had every chance to do well in this fight and imo wins if not totally shook . Her strikes were getting there yet she would tske half the power off them by being terrified of counter and putting her head right there for counter it made no sense.
 
that was difficult to watch. dern was fighting back tears walking to her corner after first round and was fighting back tears at the start of the second. im not sure what was going on there, but dern was clearly not in the right head-space to be fighting last night. brutal game
 
Chin all up in the air while anticipating counters. She should use more kicks since Andrade will not take her down. Body, body, then head.
You can't blame her for fighting like a girl, 99.999% of wmma do.
 
Dern landed a flush punch right before she got finished and Andrade just ate it like nothing.

It's natural for a woman to cry after getting smacked like that.

These WMMA fighters who don't cry are suppressing their instincts.

Sometimes they can't, and that's another reason people don't want WMMA in the UFC.

It's embarrassing that we keep playing make believe. I'm not against women competing in sports. My daughter does BJJ and Gymnastics.

That being said the US Women's National soccer team lost to teenage boys and more recently a 65+ men's team. You can watch the videos, lol.
 
He stand up looked so good last fight, it's so weird to see her devolve last night. She held back that aggressive forward pressure though. Perhaps that's the difference.

What's funny is during her walkout they were commenting on how emotional of a fighter she ks

Yeah dern was landing, but there was a difference in power clearly. Andrade was hurting her more often than not when she was connecting. After getting knocked down in the first and when the horn rang Dern looked like she knew she wasn’t going to win.

I saw the exact thing too. I was surprised why she was almost on the verge of tears. Giving her benefit of the doubt, I thought it is how her face looks like when she is fatigued and in pain from taking those punches, but now I agree those must be her fighting back tears.
 
Dern is so frustrating. She's had so many stop and starts. She started off as just a BJJ wiz kinda like Ronda with the arm bars where if she gets it to the ground, it's over. Then she lost a bunch of weight and started working on her striking and looked like Dern 2.0.

She goes on a nice streak but eventually loses and looks lost on the feet again. Now, she's traded wins and losses and looks amateurish on the feet again, head straight up and can't get the fights to the ground.

It's so weird because it looks like she improved her striking and while it's definitely better, it feels like she reverts to her old self where she doesn't know what she's doing and making day 1 mistakes. I think the biggest issue with her though is her takedowns, She only has a 15% perfect takedown rate which is awful. For someone that's a wizard on the ground, she really needs to be drilling wrestling and takedowns. She's on another level on the ground and shouldn't be wasting her time on the feet. Why no coach hasn't seen that is beyond me.
 

It's all about angles. She's more thighs than actual ass. Look how flat her ass looks in her Venum shorts. Not saying that she doesn't have a nice body though. She's also far from ugly, but her looks are def overhyped. Understandably so though considering what WMMA has to offer.
