Gabi Garcia VS Anna Malyukova WTF

[Ballswing]

They announced this matchup for Rizin 2 I mean ive enjoyed some freakshow fights too but this matchup is just crazy like they want/or dont care if someone gets killed or seriously hurt in the ring as according to fight finder Gabis opponent is 125lbs with 1-0 record and Gabi is like 220-230 just ridicilous and i really dont like this shit someone can get seriously hurt with this kind of size differenc maybe.. Whats your thoughts on this fellow sherdoggers?

 

[Asurah]

She's not 125 lbs, RIZIN has her listed as 90kg, other sources have her around the same.

 

[Ballswing]

Oh my bad! I thought that was her as they announced it as open weight and the record of the opponent matched as her name

 

[Ballswing]

Just delete this then please

 

[mjmj]

You realize you posted 2 different pics of Gabi, right?



And I don’t for one second believe Rizin when they say her opponent is 92kg. The only reference to that weight has come from Rizin, and one particular highlight of her suspiciously put online a couple weeks ago. Previous resources, I think, had her at featherweight. Judging from the looks of her in the videos, she’s closer to FW than she is LHW.

Yeah i know it was before and after pics yeah.. Also that was the only mma record I could find with the name and MMAFighting announced the opponent as having 1-0 record so..

I was wrong, she's not a featherweight. Both Tapology and Sherdog list her at 1-0, and a flyweight. Here's a link to her first fight results.

They should be embarrassed to even think of booking such a fight. No athletic association would ever sanction it, but I'm sure they're not worried about such minor details.

That's not the same girl. Her only win is a decision. The one fighting in Rizin won her fight by tko.


Did you see Gabi's last fight? What makes you think this will be a walk in the park? The last time she almost lost to someone who was brand new to MMA, and was a small LHW also.

 

[mjmj]

I’m curious, what makes you think it’s a different girl? Yes, I’ve seen that stat page, and that’s the one that was just posted online a couple weeks ago. It’s literally the only place I’ve seen that lists a fighter with that name, weight, and winning by TKO. And the girl in that video sure as fuck isn’t over 200 lbs or even close to it.

My opinion, Rizin put that stat page out there in advance and changed a couple things to make it look like a more even match because they knew as soon as the fight was announced people would be searching for her name.

I could be wrong, and if the girl is anywhere near Gabi’s size then she’ll give her trouble. I guess we’ll know when we see them side by side, but that girl in the video looks about 5’ 5” and 140 lbs or so, certainly not 5’9” and 200+ lbs.

The stats were definitely posted after the fight was decided, so they could be skewed

I don't see the girl in that video making 125lbs. It says she fought at 125 six months ago. Gabi has turned down opponents before because they were too small, why would she take a fight with a 125lber?

I just noticed it says "Champion Professional Fight “Battle of Sura” 2015" in Anna's description, and that's where Anna fought at 125 according to Sherdog and Taplogy so who knows... maybe it is the same girl...

 

[mjmj]

Wasn’t long ago Gabi was a lot smaller, maybe she wants to drop back down and they’ll meet in the middle? But if the Gabi that shows up is the same monster we saw in the first Rizin show, and this girl actually did fight at 125, it’ll be the undisputed GOAT freakshow fight.

 

[Askafan]

If you Google her using Russian alphabet ie
Анна Малюкова

and translate with chrome there is plenty about her. Actual weight seems to be 75kg, so around 165 pounds

Penza athlete Anna Malyukova was among the winners of the championship of Russia on fighting among men and women, which ended in Nalchik.

The competition was attended by more than 270 athletes from 45 regions of Russia.

"Anna Malyukova acted in a weight category over 75 kg, where she spent three fights. In two of them he won the sportswoman, and in the final defeated. In the end, Anna won a silver award ", - the press service of the regional government with reference to the Committee of the Penza region for Physical Culture and Sport.

By the look of things this girl will kill Gaby if she tries to keep it standing again. No way she improved enough in 4 months to go from the striking in her debut to something that could compete with that.
I mean Malyukova is pretty bad in the vid, but she at least looks like someone who (kinda) trains boxing.

 

[VIP1349]

Whoever even suggested or wrote down that girl was 92 KG is crazy. Isn't even close to that in any video or pic they have shown of her. 170 seems about right, I'm sure Gabi will be a ton bigger. But she doesn't look atrocious. There are very literally maybe 5 fighters at 155+ plus for females. So it's slim pickings.

 

[HaulParris]

It's very disheartening that outside of 105-145lb range, there seems to be a dearth of talent in WMMA.

 

[Darwinambrosius]

Seeing weight-loss Gabi confuses my emotions.

 

[GAR]

She is a big girl, attractive when slimmed down

 

[Kovalchuk]

but that girl in the video looks about 5’ 5” and 140 lbs or so, certainly not 5’9” and 200+ lbs.

With 5'9 Monson

With 6'1 or 6'2 Oleynik

She has pretty big lower body to be 140 lbs. Not sure if she reaches 200 lbs though.

She is certainly smaller than Gabi's previous opponent, but hopefully she is a better fighter.
