Official Women's Division Discussion #26

[leto1776]

I had been wondering what Jenny Huang, who in ONE Championship went to 5-0 (including a win by gogoplata) then fell to 5-4 had been up to. Looks like she took fixing her weak standup seriously:


Hate finding out about a fight I didn’t previously know about in this fashion:

I assume most people are picking Nunes. I am. If Nunes KOs Holly, do you think that would cement her as the WMMAGOAT ("Wommagoat"?). Any reflections on possible outcomes?

Same here and for sure! I expect Nunes to continue her dominance.

Holly's ideal plan may be to push Amanda up against the cage, wear her down in the clinch. Alternate that with getting on the cardio bike and circling. Stretch things out. Catch a legendary kick to the head or take it to decision.

I'm thinking Nunes dishes out steady, relentless punishment. Piling up the damage. Nunes via RNC, Round 4.

well, that should make for some fun discussions between the two camps of stans

Joanna about to finish her first fight in a long time
If they’re fighting eachother, I wonder who Nina was talking about when she said they were working on a “fun one” for her....

Michelle will chop her up like shredded chicken salad. Then launch Hai Karate! hottie legs aftershave.

i guess this is basically a no.1 contender fight, if Tatiana is out with injury for a longer period

LOL, nah. Just having fun.

Possible strategy for Michelle: her mom works incognito as Joanna's nutritionist.

Haha! More UFC hijinks? 'Announcing' a match before informing the participants?

Maybe Nina vs Carla?

Hard to say. Look at the wink face.

lol wouldn't be the first time. "verbally agreed" isn't very reliable

Manager Malki Kawa is the one who announced it.

UFC trying to give another blonde a big push, as They just moved KGB from 10 to 7, and now matching her up with Calferwood who for some reason is ranked number 5.

An additional note to this fight is that this is Andrea's 4th fight on her 1st contract so either she has re-signed or is fighting out her contract. With how fast it was booked since her last fight I would guess she re-signed.

I'll be honest. Waterson looked impressive vs KK as a very good fighter should. Aggressive and planting her feet for strikes all night. Always trying to hurt KK. KK is the type of fighter one can do that to as Grasso further confirmed. KK relied mostly on her athleticism and it's mostly shot. Not all girls peek at the same time and not all of them are on PEDs and even those who are can fall apart.

Joanna on the other hand is, as Zane from Bloody Elbow would say, a rote fighter. While fighting in a lower weight class means losing what athleticism she had from 5 years ago does greatly matter it's not the same as KK. We have seen JJ change styles nearly as many times as Overeem over her long fighting career. We might see it again in this fight depending if she has enough time to re-tool outside of ATT as she said she would but that remains to be seen.

Trying to look at this fight dispassionately I think the winner will come down to who is more dialed in and which gym can do best with what they got. Can JJ give JW and Michelle a new look or will she do the same as before and can JW and Michelle gameplan for it enough over the coming months to blow it out of the water as Rose did.

I don't know the gym politics around JW atm. I know JW and ATT do or did have an agreement to bring in fighters for each other's camps. I know Holly sparred with JJ.

IMO taking this fight while at ATT and if it goes to a close decision is just asking for trouble same as facing Weili or Tatiana and fighting to a decision. JJ will have to completely out class MW which is dubious at best as both of them are out fighters with MW also doing her in-and-out routine or finish her which is unlikely.

JJ is headlining so outside of dying she is going to make it to the fight. If she is compromised I expect MW to finish her. Outside of that this should go to a decision. If JJ can re-tool and blend in MT like she said maybe she can make it look good I dunno. Will see how it will play out.

I'm out for a bit. Enjoy the weekend. I'm going to miss most of it. 8(

Have to say that Joanna deserves a bit of redemption from earlier shenanigans for actually having a normal fight once again. Good for her. And it should be a damn fun fight, so Probably gonna root heavily for Waterson, but still mostly hoping it's gonna be good. And the buildup stays respectful and sportsmanlike.

And rats, I hate having to watch JoJo get mauled by Lee - but if she somehow miraclously manages to survive her famously shitty starts of getting punched in the face a lot, maybe paryers of Lee pulling off something stupid at the very end could be helpful...
