Joe Rogan claims that she has: "quietly become one of the best women in the world at 135".

Do you guys agree with that claim?

What I see in "rocky" pennington is a fighter that isn't amazing or incredible in any area, however is somewhat well-rounded and B-level at everything.

My main problem with her being called one of the best in the world, is that i don't see her being able to hang with Miesha, Ronda, Holly, or Nunes. She lost to Holly when holly was playing it so safe she could've lost a split decision.

Do you guys think Raquel Pennnington is one of the 5 best female fighters on the planet, and do you see her ever making a serious challenge for the title?
 
She's one of the prettiest girls in the ugly line.
 
no, I dont think she is even top 10 in her division, never mind one of the top female fighters. she is tough and getting better, but I dont see her ever being a top fighter. she'll have a decent career as Dana is friendly with her
 
Miesha, Holly, Ronda, Cat, and Nunes all likely beat her so no. Pena, McMann, Smith, and Eye all likely beat her too.
 
she had a 5 centimeter cut

Yes that split decision against Bethe showed it...oh wait..
 
Agree with the consensus in here and the previous thread, I'm not sure if she will even surpass Kaufman or Eye... she's a little more well rounded offensively than them but is primarily a similar type of striker with little power. Fringe top 10 unless she undergoes an evolution.

How the hell you're able to think good answers fast like that. Your posts are the funniest on sherdog by far and you're always the first to answer
 
I would hit it... Cant be that bad.. Not sure about top 10 though..

Never start a thread with 'Joe Rogan claims.....' It's in the Sherdog forum bylaws. At
least it should be.
 
Her win that should've been a lost to Bethe didn't really prove anything. But with how shallow BW is she actually might be a top 5 BW.
 
Pennington can split dec. with the best of them.
