Jennifer Maia bought the win

Whatever it takes to keep Modafferi out of the title picture

Why don't you want to see Roxy get decapitated by a head kick? Do you not worship the JBG?

I'd like to see some sort of point deduction for missing weight in addition to the financial penalty. Since most of these fights seem to be contracted with the 100% win bonus, I think it would pretty much put a stop to it.

If a fighter refuses to fight an opponent who misses weight, I will praise them.

Gotta make $$$$ as meager as it may be. Plus you get the 10% bonus.

I was actually making a edit to add something like that, but got distracted

These guys are prize fighters, they're not all looking to be 5x UFC champion with little mileage.

GOD DAMN IT RED WINGS GUY. WHAT DID YOU DO TO TREVOR DALEY.

I agree OP. also a crazy stat that roxxy hasn't lost to someone who actually made the fuckin weight since 2016. its like Bispings L record of Ped users.


If someone misses weight, they should come in with a point deduction on top of losing 20% of their purse.


also wtf people hating on modafferi? im happily a fan.

What is this? A Title IX thread?

I guess fighters just like giving Roxxy their money.

 

[Zefram Cochrane]

Don't worry. It's only a bump in the road. Roxy will have the last laugh. This has Rampage vs Wanderlei 3&4 written all over it. Mark my words.

 

[Shabutie]

Roxanne is lucky to even get paid for this shit she should shut her mouth and enjoy the free ride while it lasts.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Instead of a purse penalty, maybe they should just give the fighter he made the win bonus and the other fighter gets the base pay. It is kind of shitty that Rox has to keep fighting these people not making weight.

Jennifer Maia beat Roxanne Modaferri last weekend because of the three pound differential. Roxy tweeted she's fought against 5 opponents who missed weight and lost 4 of those matches. Roxy hasn't lost to any fighter who made weight since 2016. Weight differential by even a few pounds is huge in MMA, especially against ground specialists.

Jennifer Maia cheated. Jennifer Maia is a liar. I hate the purse penalty. There should be a point deducted. Totally disappointing to those who wait months and months to see their favorite fighter get taken advantage of. (Yeah right any UFC fighter is going to turn down the fight). Bullshit. B u l l s h i t.

I feel bad for Roxy, she's fighting and losing to all these chicks that are missing weight.

 

[Wyrm]

If a fighter misses weight he better show up like 1,5lbs above, looking like shit basically being walked there by their coaches... Nobody misses weight by 3,5lbs. That means they haven't even tried. There are no asterisks on the fight record saying "he missed weight on this fight and that."

So i think 50% of the purse plus a point deduction would be a long way in solving these issues.

I think it should be a pay penalty and a point deducted. In Deep Jewels girls like Mizuki Inoue fought,won and got the loss anyway because she missed weight which is totally the other side of the spectrum but no one in the UFC would fight knowing they will get the loss automatically,only crazy japanese girls (no disrespect of course,it's kinda badass).On topic though,pay loss and 1 point deduction is what I would like to see the most.

As for how much it effects the fights,a lot of people here go way fucking overboard and it's often a negative thing to be off weight cause most still try to hit it but can't and often have a harder cut.Just a silly theory Sherdoggers have come up with,intentionally missing weight to have a small advantage while give up a ton of money,people don't do that lol.A bunch i'm sure have quit trying to make the limit because they don't think they will and they mind as well not kill themselves but I doubt it's some strategy they were cooking up all camp lol,that's just stupid.

Maia is just better than Roxy and was a favorite for a reason,she would have been a bigger favorite if Roxy wasn't coming off a win over the always has been but getting better super overrated Shevchenko sister.
