Is Leslie Smith the rightful favorite over Rin Nakai?

[Melas Chasma]

I mean, just look at her.. How can you not favor her over Smith..

But seriously, Smith is 2-4 in his last 6, while Rin (16-1) has only ever lost to the current champion and if I remember right she was close to win a round against Tate. I know she has a very padded record but she at least picked up wins over Tara Larosa and Sarah D`Alelio before she came in to UFC. I feel like at 33, Smith is close to an end of her career and that Nakai has a good chance to decision her with her grappling.

It looks like Smith is around -170 favorite, Nakai around +150. Any value at all to bet Nakai?

Anyway, war Rin!!

The quest for Japanese success continues.

Ring Nakai is the goat

 

[Sgt Smith]

They obviously didn't take your desire to fap into consideration when making the odds. I'll contact them and get that straightened out.

I threw up a little in my mouth... She's no Miesha

 

[Medical Marijuana Man]

I bet on her amongst other things

 

[Sonny Qc]

brace yourself weird Rin Nakai stuff is coming...


(but yes she should be favorite, Rin is so overrated even at 16-1-1)

 

[Th3Sav4ge]

Im taking smith. Rin has to out grappler her and i think Rin will get tired from leslies size

How is she overrated as a fighter? If anything, her stand up is a common joke here on Sherdog and her fight against Tate is always viewed as even more of a dominant destruction by Tate than it actually was. So how is she overrated as a fighter?

If Rin loses, she can always go into porn.

Rin (16-1) has only ever lost to the current champion

Yes, but she lost because of the stand-up, which is clearly not the strongest part of Tate's game. Nakai is too small for that division anyway, she should trim the fat and fight at 115.

 

[Gio]

I believe Leslie Smith is the better overall fighter and should be the favorite to win

If Rin loses, she can always go into porn.

Lol. Search for Rin Aoki. Fulfill your Rin Nakai fantasies

Rin Nakai hasnt faced competition yet.

Rin Nakai hasnt faced competition yet.

Not even the current champ?

Rin also has a very strange YouTube channel...

Stuff like this... Regular bikini shit...



To muscle bitch stuff...



Training in fetish gear and laughing a lot...

Told you that shit was racy... Apologies... Imagine Miesha or someone random like Tecia Torres having a youtube channel like that... It wasn't even her YouTube channel, which is the craziest part, it was for Pancrase, the promotion she was fighting for... Unthinkable over here! Imagine the uproar. A ufc promoted channel on youtube for a female fighter in these kinda contexts. Would be hilarious.

Other fun vids on the channel include her watching beetles fight and then putting them on herself wearing a bedsheet, decorating a cake, fishing, and loads and loads of working out...

Good times.

This is a good test for Rin.
Because Smith can only beat cans.
So I'll favor Rin, because as a optimistic person I don't think she is a can.

 

[Ashenthorn]

I don't really like this matchup for Smith. She's a march forward, swarm in and slug it out kind of striker. I can't see her staying on her feet for long vs Nakai.

 

[BigMuffler]

I'll root for and optimistically favor Rin. Smith has been firmly established as being below (well below) the likes of Eye and Kaufman when the latter isn't underperforming, hoping Rin is an actual prospect.
