Has anyone noticed how much better Kayla Harrison got today?

[B ville Famous]

I literally could not care if I never saw her fight or even knew her name.

Yet you saw her name in a thread and instantly clicked it lolol.

 

[Pancake Sprawl]

Anyone who didn't think Kayla was top 10 in her division is absolutely retarded.

she's more likely top 3, is there even enough women in her division to make a top 10?

 

[Slapjit]

Just shows you - only UFC fighters matter.

Also SLAP fighters.

Yo my fam, dem gyals in the (still) growing sport of Power Slap bn gettin mad clout ONGgg,,,,

Gyaldem leavin Taylor Swift cheese with da view count LMFAOOO

With the state of the female 145 and 135 division, this is a great addition. Excited to see how she does, would be fun to have a new dominant female champion in the UFC

Maybe 10 years ago, younger generations don't use message boards anymore.

UFC AstroTurf's on Sherdog big time.

For instance,

right now they are trying to promote Kayla Harrison and generate excitement for UFC 300.

But literally nobody cares about her so it's obviously astroturfing.

But some will after they read the posts from UFC employees pretending they are fans, instead of marketing agents.

 

[spooNN]

That's how it works. You are a can if you are not in the UFC but the second they sign someone with a decent record they are advertised as top talent prospects or belt contenders.

The UFC using marketing teams to shit up forums with their talking points is not speculation, it is fact. It was proven in leaked emails years ago.

We don't have proof of recent activity and specific message boards have become less important. But they would likely still target MMA forums and reddit on top of social media as part of a broad sweep.

There are of course many unpaid, unaware useful idiot bootlickers who parrot shill narratives for free. But this is precisely why it helps to have some people on the clock who can help shape the narratives and then let the mongs take it from there.

It's marketing 101 in 2024.

Yeah they won't pay their fighters well but they have an enormous Sherdog budget

Fucking christ and I’ve been over here shilling for free

Well she might literally be the only legit 155 lbs WMMA fighter so its kind of like Amanda when she was a double champ despite the UFC not even having any FWs. Their own rankings for FW had Amanda as champion and a blank top 10.

 

[Royce's Gi]

I could have sworn yesterday she was an average can crusher, but I just noticed today that she is actually a legitimate top ten female fighter with the potential to even be a female GOAT... war Kayla. Good on her for making the improvements.

Not just that, she's beefy too

She's Thick, Solid and Tight

 

[RockyLockridge]

Lol love it brother . I think Holland vs MVP is such a coin flip though I have no idea who wins.

depends if holland wants to strike or grapple. If he wants to strike, he could lose.

 

[Koya]

Anyone who didn't think Kayla was top 10 in her division is absolutely retarded.

especially when there aren't even 10 fighters in her division

You should see what happened to Demetrious Johnson. Went from top 10 p4p to being in zero rankings once he left the UFC.

 

[Skarsgard]

Same thing happened with MVP

He was can crusher but now he is legit killer all of a sudden. Crazy how that works

He is still a can crusher. A skilled one, but a can crusher. As for Kayla, she's always been legit.

 

[KnockoutsGalore]

Kayla is going to maul Holm.

10k/10k* for me, but I got my job through Dana white shitposter series.


*post/won argument about fighters' pay

 

[DarthChen731]

I'm just curious how she's gonna do cutting 2 divisions below what she usually does

That's how dana works.

But harrison is on a division with little competition whereas MVP is a WW, and WW is always filled with killers. Even at Bellator, once he fought decent competition he wasn't that great and Lima beat the shit out of him in the first fight and MVP won a splitt decision in the rematch. Both are can crushers but MVP fought Lima at least.
