Official Women's Division Discussion #25

[msm1981]

I think the reason Leslie Smith didn't look at Invicta was she wasn't going to get
the money she was making at UFC.

Not sure if anyone noticed but InvictaFC 33 is the same night as UFC on Fox. There will be at least some overlap as I am hearing.

Also Sarah Kaufman not too happy

Okay, list of possible opponents for Kaufman. Got my discussion topic for tonight. Already researching,it's a short ass list.

Was I seeing things or were women's Bantamweights & Featherweights not
as big or heavy a decade ago as they are now.

Definitely not seeing things. For one thing, the number of fighters has grown. But also keep in mind, how many fighters took fights wherever/whenever they could get them, many of them at whatever weight class was offered. Nowadays more and more promoters are jumping on board and making wmen's fights, more gyms accept and train female fighters, and it only makes sense that women are finding homes in different weight classes than they used to.

Well, shit. Hoping they get her on a card this year.


Also, when is my homegirl Kuma gonna fight again? I realize that there isn't much left to offer her in terms of opponents in Invicta but you'd think that she'd get the call-up to the UFC by now.

I think there is plenty left for her in Invicta. Proving herself to be the best in Invicta is better for her resume than just not fighting. In my opinion, once Maia left a whole new world of opportunity opened for her. She already beat Porto so the hardest fight for her in Invicta is already behind her. Invicta will probably put Pearl to fight for the championship due to popularity. Style-wise That is a very winnable fight for her Aga. People are starting to hype Pearl due to her showing her 'goodies' on social media(I am definitely not complaining) and being on a win streak vs not the best competition. Aga can make a name for herself easily vs Pearl in a title fight.

You’re doing it wrong. This is how you internet:

Duly noted

 

[WingsLax9042]

Awesome. Can't wait for this fight.

I don't think there's any way this Invicta card can live up to my expectations... haha. If it does we're in for one hell of a night.

Thanks for the info on upcoming fights everyone. Some fun ones this weekend. Have a feeling Sijara will be really pissed off and smash hard. Hoping Roxy brings better striking defense. Maybe gets it to the ground.

Glad more promotions are streaming live on facebook and / or DAZN. That's the way to go. Pay per view is overpriced and antiquated.

Hoping they find an opponent for Lipski soon. Get this woman a fight.

Yeah, Invicta FC 32 is gonna rock.

WMMA Unified rankings - gotta say flyweight is still a bit of a mess (I don't do these but they are my go to rankings)

Thanks. I'm always interested in the unified rankings. Fascinating how quickly things will change as soon as a few scheduled fighters throw down.

For banter, I have some questions for everybody. Long live the banter.

Regarding featherweight. Is Cat Zingano moving up for good to fight Megan Anderson? Or is it more of a one fight thing. Same for Amanda Nunes moving up to fight Chris Cyborg. Wonder if it's more like Joanna moving up to fight Val. Sort of like let's do it and then later discuss how it may shake out.

Yeah flyweight rankings are odd. Things should settle down once some of them have fought one another. Or not lol. Of the current listings a few have already moved down to lower division. Of that list I'd rank Carmouche, Chookagian & Agnieszka higher. Not yet overly impressed with the levels of competition outside the UFC. Hoping it keeps improving. A possible exception is Lipski as she has looked so strong in most every fight. I hope they don't rush her with beastly matchups just yet though. Let her grow & mature as a fighter & person.

On straweight. Not sure how long Rose will be out. Seems like it's getting near a time where she commits to a fight soon. Andrade - Suarez could be a good one for an interim belt.

What does everyone think of the atomweight rankings? I'm not familiar enough with all their fights to comment. Want to watch more good ones though as I enjoy atomweight. Keep letting us know when & where we can watch them.

Anyone know of Julianna Pena's plans for a return? I'm looking forward to it. There's a lot of opportunities for her. Marion Renau could be a good match for her return. If that's doable. Hoping she comes back strong and perhaps a bit less corny with the bragging.

Also hoping Nicco will keep fighting. Especially that TUF didn't just indefinitely mess her up with injuries. Or that her head wasn't so spun out with all that past nonsense that her heart's no longer in it. She's too good & fun to watch. I want to see her continue if at all possible.

Kind of under the radar: look forward to GDR's return. Yet another fighter who pissed me off for while. Then when things settled down I'm like oh hell yeah I'd love to see her fight again.

I can get mad at some fighters for a while if they piss me off sometimes. But it never lasts too long. Then I respect them again as fighters. When they're gone for a while I anticipate their return!

Everyone is going to complain about flyweight regardless. In a year it should sort itself out, so I see no reason to bitch about the rankings. In the meantime, there are quite a few good fights to make.
