Jennifer Maia signs with UFC

[CanMMAfan84]

Two things:

1) Admins and mods, if this is a repeat, then I’m sorry for that. You can either merge or delete.

2) Yes, this is another WMMA thread, and I know it’s not popular here, so if you enter here by accident, you can push turn back button and leave, no hard feelings. Otherwise, bear with me, please?



Looks like the big league just called up another one of Invicta’s champs. This time, it’s flyweight queen Jennifer Maia! So, what are your thoughts? Is it a good signing, a bad signing?

WARNING: This thread WILL be heavily policed, so keep posts and debates civil. Any trolling or sexist posts WILL be reported to the mods and admins ON THE SPOT IF FOUND! THIS IS YOUR ONLY WARNING.

Too soon imo. I guess they need to fill up the FLW division but still...

 

[Was at Pride GP 2000]

Damian's daughter grew up fast.

Lol at least spell his name right!

 

[CPH]

Meh. They should hurry and sign https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agnieszka_Niedźwiedź, whom Maia just beat. She has more potential.

I thought Nunes was dating Ansaroff?

Looks a lot like James Krause

These signings should help to continue to grow these shallow divisions with the appropriate talent.

Nunes has a side gig with Invicta as a talent scout and matchmaker.

She is better then most the 125ers but if you sign one release one. The roster is flooded

Why? She’s in her prime, can’t let her become another JAG situation

So she is or isn't dating Ansaroff?

Cause she eyeballing Maia hard.

 

[Pacemaker Joe]

Good. I think Bullet beats her, but still a good signing if they want to build up the division.

She’s still with NA.. She probably threw in a good word with Dana White regarding Maia’s skills.

Nunes works for invicta now

 

[Char Jawz]

If they want to build her up first, she should fight Roxanne Modafteri or someone like that, first. She definitely shouldn't fight Valentina first, especially since Shevchenko deserves a title shot right now.

I just don't think she's ready. If she's in her prime I don't know what to say. I can see why they'd do it though.

 

[Frozen Sea]

Give her Jessy Jess, Invicta champ vs a Flyweight coming off 2 wins.

Good debut fight for her imo

She’s easily top five in the ufc division, easily.
