should be entertaining #freakshowstyle

 

[qw3rty]

well, sherdog and tapology have her as a FLW

 

[Tobago Jones]

92kg?

How can someone with one fight be the champion of any sort of "organization"?
And there's no way that girl is a LHW.

There must be two of them.

I don't know. I wonder if they mean Sambo instead of MMA. Could be amateur, or just events that aren't on Sherdog...

I can't really find much info on her, just people saying she's Russia's MMA champ...

Looks kind of like Honda before a Hollywood-level make-up job, crash diet and photoshop wizardry.

Here is a visual approximation of what this fight should look like.

Ronda was an UFC champ with 0 UFC fights.It's easy.

Good point. Not quite the same though.

 

[Necrocrawler]

By watching the the video, it makes hard to believe this girl weighs more than 92kg...

Anyway. Ill take her by TKO. Garcia will probably crumble to her striking, will become a desperate wrestler, fail and be TKOed.

Wait, it's Rizin 2, right?

So you're saying Panic Wrestler Gabi has bigger balls than Chinny McQuicktap, and will go out swinging?

Yeah, you're probably right.

Literally as well as metaphorically.

 

[Big_Chief_Stove]

Gabi is going to destroy anyone she comes across.

 

[Daniel4802]

I wouldn't surprised if she is indeed 204 lbs based on her girth in the video. I was a personal trainer for years and one thing I noted is athletic women typically weigh more than what they appear depending on their body composition.

She does look small for a LHW but she has huge hips, thighs, and ass. She probably doesn't cut weight either.

Anna's striking looks light-years ahead of Gabi's. But Gabi could look like a totally different fighter if she learned how to take a punch, and keep her cool.

It should be a lot of fun either way.

Wait, it's Rizin 2, right?

Rizin 1

The first 2 events were part of a festival. No numbers were attached to them.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Pankration fighter? Can she punch?

 

[scorpipede]

Wait, it's Rizin 2, right?

that's what I was thinking too.

I will watch this.

I most likely will not look forward to it.

But I will watch it.

doing what they can to protect Gabi.

 

[Sherdoggy]

Garcia is a heavyweight (was like 10 pounds over for her last fight) with suspect dietary habits and they match her up with a lightweight. I hope this Russian is getting paid well. She appears to have better striking than Garcia, but Garcia has long arms and is taller so will be hard to hit.
