Good luck, I’d like to see both of those come through for you.Not mine
Well, I was impressed by your girl's ability to survive. I guess I'm eating my words now.
First off, that Mazo vs Aldrich: that was absolute bullshit. Aldrich got robbed. She cleanly won the first and 2nd. All Mazo did in the 2nd was land two good strikes. The rest of the time she was hitting air. 2 good strikes should not count for more than a round of getting countered just because you were moving forward. She won the third easily, but it should have been a 29-28 for Aldrich.
I'd disagree. We're not doing Cecil Peoples scoring, low kicks and body kicks & knees do count and Mazo landed a lot of them. In most of the exchanges, Mazo caught JJ with a knee on the way in or hit her with a kick and followed her back out with punches. Mazo also started the round well by cranking up the aggression and throwing a ton of punch combos at JJ, a lot of them missed but enough connected to score the early part of the round in her favour. JJ might've edged out the middle part of the 2nd by connecting with some solid punches, but again, she was usually countered with a knee or kick to the body and followed back out with a punching combo. The last part of the round easily sealed it for Mazo since she landed clean and did way more damage to JJ than Aldrich did to her.
maycee was humbled.
Let's go
I hope Shannon had a scout in the crowd...?
(if not someone needs to forward the suggestion)
I just remembered my thoughts on Maycee back in October and it looks like I was not too far off.Am I weird but I was not as impressed with Maycee as I thought I would be after hearing people talk about it. I am not saying she did anything wrong but I did not see a special fighter. I remember the feelings of watching Joanna an Ronda's ascent up the ranks and feeling something different about them. I just don't have that special feeling about her. I believe Maycee did everything right this fight but the outcome was more about her opponents limitations. One thing I really like about Maycee is when she senses the opportunity to end the fight she goes for it and gets it.
I actually think her next fight should be PVZ. Regardless of ranking position I don't think Maycee is ready for a huge jump in competition yet and PVZ's potential and skillz have plateaued. This fight has heat and both are relatively similar in skill level in my opinion so why not. PVZ is probably gone after this fight anyway. I doubt the UFC pays her as much money as Bellator after seeing her career trajectory recently. Bellator has the pretty girl division and PVZ is the ultimate fighter for that division. You know Coker has a line of fighters ready that he will use to make PVZ look like a prospect again.
Should have knocked her out imo, but the media will probably spin it since she's a pro fighter.
