Official Women's Division Discussion #25

I hope they find a replacement for Lipski to fight; I was really looking forward to seeing her debut.

There's a couple of Brazilians from the contenders series waiting for a fight, failing that they can always call on the long haul queen - Gillian Robertson.

Joanne Calderwood is available as well, I think that’d be fun, and it’d warrant a decent spot on the card.
 
If Shannon Knapp is saying there is no one that is qualified to fight
Sarah Kaufman there actually is Lisa Spangler who is 2-0 at Invicta
and 3-0 as a pro.

Using a 3-0 girl as an example kind of proves her point that there’s no one qualified to fight Sarah yet.
 
Since we are on the topic of Sarah Kaufman again how does Invicta solve this problem? This is probably not a good idea but the only thing I could think of is have her fight the 145 champ when that is crowned. Those fighters might not be ready for Sarahs level yet but the size advantage might help even things up. With the increase in frequency Invicta can book more 135 fights to hopefully get some girls much more experience.

Sarah comes back to the UFC. Or the UFC cuts a couple of 135'ers and they go to Invicta.

I agree the best answer is Sarah back to the UFC but it does not seem like the UFC wants her sadly. I wish the UFC would loan some fighters to Invicta every now and then. It would keep them more active and would help Invicta in the talent level department.
 
I'd like to see Kaufman vs. Evinger; I don't care which organization that fight takes place in. Just make it happen.

Hang on, so Invicta can't give Kaufman a fight because no-one's qualified for the matchup? Didn't seem to be a problem back in the Cyborg days.

Surely there are plenty of Dana rejects who have the necessary experience - Leslie3 to give just one example (unless the black ball extends to Invicta) . Then they could always go for an East European, they've done that before for title fights. If they've got a champ who the big show doesn't want then it seems stupid not to use her.

I don't think Leslie wants to go back to Invicta. In an interview she was asked what she wanted to do next with her career she pretty much said everything but Invicta. She said even included Bellator and that bare knuckle boxing crap.
 
Knowing Brazil & Europe are loaded when it comes to Women's MMA
Shannon Knapp may be able to pick up several fighters to fight at Invicta
in several of the divisions not just Bantamweight.

She say why? Their affiliation with Zuffa or something?

I can't speak on the reason why. She never specified a reason for not listing them in her possible future career destinations. I can say it's probably not the Zuffa affiliation thing because If i remember correctly she was working with Invicta relatively recently as an interviewer or something along those lines when Laura Sanko had to work overseas for FS1.
 
Any ideas/requests for a discussion topic for my next stream tonight?
