Official Women's Division Discussion #25

Paige VanZant is a well-conditioned, athletic, agile, explosive, physical and durable fighter. In terms of measurables, she is capable of competing with the very best fighters in two weight classes. So, given her unique blend of attributes, how is she not a legitimate contender or a champion?

Some critics have attributed it to tough weight cuts that hindered her at strawweight. In her first foray into the flyweight division, it’s been attributed to the broken arm that limited her ability to fight a balanced fight, much less a busy one. Both perspectives are incorrect.

She doesn't have skills to fight. She doesn't train fighting. Also I don't think her strength and condition training is too overwhelming either.

Main problem with MMA training is the lack of sparring, hard sparring. PVZ needs couple years at some gym where they actually spar hard. Not some dating with training partners at her hometown. Yack! Paige, if you want to be fighter, focus on fighting. Don't use your power for dating, and looking pretty on interviews and trying to be so popular!

UFC still listing Mueller as a bantam whereas her IG says flyweight, but then the UFC profiles are a mess. Who is she fighting, maybe Murphy in the battle of the Laurens?

No idea. I would like to see her get a decent welcoming fight, so someone outside the top ten at first. She does not have much of a record.
 
Shana Dobson or Gillian Robertson would be a good fight for Mueller
 
I know with Valentina Shevchenko fighting at Flyweight now
her fight night weight give up will go from double digits to
single digit at most which means she should be more competitive
in her fights.

Yep. During a recent interview Nunes gave her walk around weight at 160-165. So Val was probably giving up 20lbs.
 
What I find funny is before I assume UFC found Amanda’s price to fight cyborg she was like “I’m a SMALL bantamweight that can make 125 and she’s a BIG featherweight”

No idea, but I seriously hope she bent Dana over so far his spine popped.
 
A few new fights. Glad to see Invicta putting up the title but I would have liked Lehner to have made weight for bantamweight once fighting for Invicta prior to getting the title shot. Good that Dandois is keeping busy. Looking forward to Smith vs. Ladd.


3-17 Cindy Dandois vs. Iren Racz at Staredown FC 12, Deurne Belgium. (145)

4-21 Leslie Smith vs. Aspen Ladd at UFC, Atlantic City (135) (First listed as 4-1)

5-4 Invicta FC 29
Sarah Kaufman vs. Katharina Lehner (135 Title)

Results that I have seen so far.
2-2 Linsey Williams def. Hilarie Rose by TKO in rd 3 at CES – Lincoln, Rhode Island (115?)

2-2 Jessica Middleton def. Jaymee Jones by SD at Xtreme Fight Night 346, Tulsa, OK. (125)

165 IS small! She's a tiny girl, almost a loli. :P
 
It was just me or at that Invicta weigh in she looked like 180+? God lord Amanda looked almost like Tyron Woodley size.. but that's off camp of course

This is where I got the info. There are some other posters for the other fights but that takes up room on the posts I decided not to post them. Looks like the date may have been changed since I saw it. I will double check. Yep. Looks like they changed the date. That was quick.

Folk should check out her Instagram, it's great .... kids force marched through the forests by Aspen and her pet wolves, ok they may be huskies and she claims the kids enjoy the hikes but I'm not so sure.

I like checking her Instagram out too. Always out running and walking around interesting scenery. I find her appearance pleasant for the most part. She can be grim too.
