News Karolina Kowalkiewicz vs Jessica Penne slated for UFC 265, August 7th

[Gio]

265 looks like it could be a solid card if they can find a better main event. Nunes just too dominant with no credible threats, which makes her fights uninteresting. I guess that would change with an upset, but just don’t see it happening.

If they could rebook Max vs Yair in this event (since co-mains can now be 5 rounds) that will elevate this card on a whole another level imo. Man I hope it happens.

As far as Karolina has slipped in recent years, I find it hard to imagine her losing to someone of Penne's quality. Karolina beat Rose, gave a respectable fight to Joanna including rocking her. If she loses to Penne, wow, that is really sad.

 

[heavyarms21]

Very safe fight. I see no danger happening in this one.

Should be straight forward for KK unless she continues her slide , would be a good fight to get on the up and up.

 

[toe hold]

KK last performances were really really embarassing.
She's just fighting to prove herself something at this point.

This matchup reeks of the proverbial "Loser Leaves Town" match.

 

[Paynebringer]

Penne still in the UFC..?

 

[13Seconds]

I love Karolina but she is beyond shot. Haven't seen penne since she came back, but I can't imagine anybody loosing to Karolina in her current shape.

Only reason karolina is in ufc everyone simps to her

KK last performances were really really embarassing.

Hopefully the time off has been good for Karolina. This is a winnable fight for her.

Karolina hasn't looked great in there for years now. I'm kinda surprised she didn't retire after her last fight.
I'll root for her but Penne beat solid prospect in her last one so she isn't as done as Karolina seems to be.

Damn i didn't realize Karolina is currently 5-6 in the UFC and coming off a 4 fight losing streak. Yeah she's def getting cut with a loss here

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Please just retire Karolina.

(and marry me)

 

[BangBang]

Holy shit. The build up to these 2 fighting was particularly nasty I remember. Boogie woman has buried the hatchet I see.

 

[Torrid]

they both purdy

 

[Post 2 Decision]

Karolina is cute but an absolute garbage MMA fighter

I'll take Jessica Penne, I'd eat her ass like Penne pasta

 

[USA!USA!]

Karolina is the wmma Tony Ferguson. Everyone quietly hopes she'll do well but the game is moving along and her peak years are behind her.

[Rvd Slmr]

They were both great fighters but they are now equally completely over the hill. I can't see how this fight can be anything other than sad.

She was actually really good. Destroyed rose in the clinch and was the first to drop jj. Had good footwork too. But she didn't look like herself last few fights.

 

[Askafan]

Honestly they should be fighting up and comers but maybe the UFC want an excuse to ditch the loser.

 

[Rorschachxx]

Both kinda suck as fighters but what the hell. I'll watch and wish both good luck.

Someone who is 'really good' doesn't ever look this bad... Like... This is embarrassing

You're not wrong, but I watch her fights anyway. I wish they'd de Randamie another shot at her. That would at least be a fight if it stayed on the feet.
