It would seem that there is very little discussion on here about Kowalkiewicz/Herrig.
Improvements in fighters are seldom seen overall. A lot of fighters simply refine their current "style" and rarely change their methods. Though I suspect I'll get flamed for it, I watched KK and saw big additions to her approach. Her lateral footwork has improved, pull back and strike, moving out of range of punches. The way she moves in for the clinch is more fluid and she doesn't just walk in, like she used to. Her clinch is set up and her over/inside elbows have improved.
She is naturally strong as hell, barely muscular, but has a great chin, though improving her punch avoidance too.
I think with her improvements, she'd make it closer than before with JJ, if not beating her in a second meeting.
KK has a clinch, that is missing from other girls and it's getting better. JJ does not demonstrate the clinch much at all.
I think KK would beat Rose again, but will still fall to either Gadelha or Andrade.
KK needs a bit more credit and this would bring in WMMA numbers aswell as a decent fight.
