Official Women's Division Discussion #26

[Xuh]

Sounds like this EFC tournament series should be named 'Tin can alley'.
Trophy should be an actual tin can (coated in gold or something... brass perhaps)

There's a few fights happening at Valor FC 54 in Knoxville, TN next weekend.

135: Shanna Young (4-1) vs. Jessica Borga (1-1)
125: Taylor Turner (1-6) vs. Ashley Samples (0-2)
125: Christina Ricker (0-1) vs. Hayley Turner (2-1)
105: Carmen Millagros (0-0, 4-2 Ammy) vs. Tabatha Ann Watkins (2-0)

Young is best known for being a former KOTC Champion with a win over Pam Sorenson. She made her return to the sport after a 2 year hiatus and fought Lisa Spangler for Invicta in September and suffered her first pro loss by Split Decision
Hayley Turner and Tabatha Ann Watkins are more of the fighters out of the Team SFS camp in Michigan who train with Amanda Cooper, Alesha Zappitella, and Kristi Garr. They're all turned into quite the stable. Smaller gyms don't tend to have many women training partners but SFS has done a great job bringing in talent from all over the world including Andrea Lee, Molly McCann, Andy Nguyen, and Montana De La Rosa for recent camps.

Sort of hoping Young has reincorporated her wrestling base back into her game.

Hayley Turner must be cutting some serious weight for a fight at 125... she’s legitimately 5’10”.

There maybe 1 or 2 Flyweights that are legit 5'10" since I remember Daiane Firmino
who fought Pearl Gonzalez at Invicta last September was that tall but she was skinny.

Ashley Samples (0-2)

Her nickname is "Str8 Up"

That's "Beastin' 25/8" territory LMAO

I saw her box on one of the Island Fights events; I had no idea that she was also an MMA fighter though

She said she was 5’10, but she was virtually the same height as Pearl who is like 5’4. Was the most ridiculous height lie I’ve ever seen.

Both ediane gomes and Roberta Paim Rovel are saying they have fight booked at the same show so 90% chance they are fighting each other.

Hey, I didn't realise Alice Ardelean was training in the UK these days!
Not too far away either. Maybe I should sign up for their gym. They even have a class called 'Stand and Bang' on Sundays (seriously...) (I wouldn't be welcome lol)

...Oh yeah, I just remembered, she's a vegan.


I'll still cheer for her to win this 'Alpha Can' tournament though.

Am I seeing things or has Claudia Gadelha looked horrible in her last 3 fights
rather it be her cardio or getting dressed up or both.

She has looked bad. Cardio, which had been improving went South again, game planning in the toilet and takedowns went to shit.

I can say I was disappointed with her recent performance because by standards she should
have gotten no worst then a split decision win over Nina Ansaroff because she is a lot better
then Nina in regards to records & quality of opponents she faces.

Juliana Lima has apparently signed with invicta.

Semi-offtopic:
I saw numerous times some shertards spew BS about Cat cheating on her late husband. Where did this stupidity came from? I have never seen any sources about this

You really have to ask given their general hatred of women?

She hasn't been the same since Andrade mauled her.

Maybe y'all know about this already, but I just learned today that there is a manga about women's mixed martial arts. It's titled "Teppu" (sometimes spelled "Teppuu"), and it can be read free in English online at a couple of sites. I don't know how good it is, but I intend to check it out. It's serialization began in 2008, so it isn't new.
