Official Women's Division Discussion #25

[dim_]

Number six vs unranked. That would be nonsensical even by UFC standards.

maybe carla feels she needs another warmup fight

 

[dim_]

Esparza just fought a up and coming girl, i don't think it would make sense to have her against someone behind at rankings again, i think they will go with Esparza vs. Gadelha and maybe Ansaroff vs. Casey/Markos/Waterson

or Ansaroff v Tatiana

 

[Thirdpres]

Esparza should fight Suarez, decide the best wrestler in the division ....... Suarez.

Hope Letson doesn't get forgotten in all this.

I thought Cyborg needed months to make weight?

Yeah. I was thinking of Letson myself. She has a tweet up making clear she is not scare to fight anyone. Probably a reference to one of Kunitskaya's Instagram posts referencing five fighters dropping out of fights with her recently.

Nunes x Pennington?

That is what I was reading in another thread. Oh well.

 

[curryjunkie]

Are you insinuating that I'm all about the sexiness of female fighters? Have you not noticed my current avatar? Livinha is not one likely to garner many "wood" comments on Sherdog, I think.

no im insinuating that if theres a bikini pic of a female fighter, 99 times out of 100 you post it.....you pervert

 

[Thirdpres]

Seriously i'll be so sad about 224 if it's Nunes-Pennington being the headliner..
No that interested and may actually root for Pennington

I am reasonably interested in that fight. I enjoy both fighters. Just hoping for a good fight. I suspect they will bring it.

Pennington getting off an injury though, tough fight for her.

 

[executionermma]

Nunes rumoured to be fighting Rocky in Brazil

As far as flyweight goes, thats Lauren, Alexis Davis, Sijara and Barb all tested in teh last two weeks.

so i would put money on at least two of those are fighting each other. possibly a combo of all four. Sijara v Lauren makes the least sense, they may want Sarj to prove she can make weight but if she loses to Lauren that just sets Lauren against Nikko again.

If I had to put money...

Lauren Murphy v Alexis Davis

Sijara getting the title shot

Barb Honchak v Rachel Ostovich (who was also tested this week)

Nah i can't believe UFC will give Sijara a titleshot right away, it could be Sijara x Murphy and Davis x someone else, maybe Chookagian? Eye? People will shit on that after such a fantastic performance of Valentina

Murphy isn't just 1 fight away of a titleshot anyway, not with Nicco as champ

i imagine Nunes would rather fight rocky now than let her get another fight under her belt

Yeah the lay off/injury is the problem, i wanted Pennington to have another fight before

Yep. Very likely.

Fair deductions on the flyweight situation too. We will see.

More like typical wild Sherdog speculation.

Good joke, though.

Carla can probably make a claim for a title shot should Rose beat Joanna, having already beaten her.

but then, if she beats Rose again, Joanna beats her again, we enter a weird parallel universe.

no she can't, no top 5 win, or you believe Struve has a claim if he beats Arlovski? doesn't work like that..

Carla should fight Gadelha or KK, if the polish beats Herrig, then her case gets solid

I don't shy away from posting a good bikini pic... female fighters post those to promote themselves, and I'm generally eager to help female fighters to promote themselves... whether via training videos, interviews, fight gifs, cosplay, or bikini pics, whatever.

Does anyone have a clue as to what is going on with
UFC 222 since Leah Letson scratches and a title main
event with Cyborg vs Kuntiskaya is booked in its place
despite the fact the champion may not make weight do
to only 2 weeks before fight week and 30+ pounds to
cut in that time.

Letson is off. Cyborg vs Kunitskaya official. Being discussed more in the Heavies.

 

[PurpleStorm]

I always watch a Nunes fight. If she gets Pennington I think it's well deserved for Rocky (and I'd be glad she's fully recovered).

I like them all. I'm body positive too.

 

[PurpleStorm]

Okay, just caught up with all the recent posts. Head spinning. Glad I didn't speculate too rampantly because very little of it all (at least as it's being reported today) makes perfect sense.

edited for clarity 'cause I'm hepped up on coffee

 

[Eater of Souls]

Well. It looks like Kunitskaya maybe fighting Cyborg instead.

Fucking joke.
