Official Women's Division Discussion #27

[Deleted member 363827]

Covid messed up Muay Thai scene so bad, Lumpini is allowing not just women to fight after 70-year ban but also MMA fighters to compete at the stadium lol

Crazy to think that these stadium heads are the same ones that lobbied to ban MMA in Thailand years ago.

At the end of the day, anything is good as long as it makes money for you.

I see my hero Itzel is fighting (I'm a fan purely because I think her name sounds cool. best reason) and was pleased at the prospect of her kicking some butt, but then I look again and see she's fighting @JarlSkuld 's hero Celine.
Wat do?

 

[werepig]

ufc picks this week:
- motivated miesha
- santos to mash jojo
- loma by 8-limbed UD (sneaky good matchup btw)
- hughes to give pinheiro fits in the cage

 

[leto1776]

I don’t care how well she does, I can never get behind Luana Pinheiro after her award winning performance in her last fight. She took the easy way out.

Don’t forget, it’s RIZIN fight week:

a headlining rematch years in the making. They met for Miyuu’s mma debut, and only RENA’s second fight. Both have changed a lot since then. Also, big revenge storyline for Yamamoto. Her late brother KID told her she’d beat RENA next time.



Getting a DEEP JEWELS bout on a RIZIN card. Essentially what RIZIN should have done all year, since their a\super atomweight division has been suffering due to travel restrictions.

Can never go against Celine (Yay!), you know this. She's getting a long-in-the-tooth, but I'll always be a fan because she is a sweetie, fights until the very end (ask Amy Montenegro), she's an old school grappler, she went through the gauntlet of Japanese WMMA as an "outsider" (basically getting matched up against killers when she was just starting out), and she kept going even when her record was 1-11 (and most fighters would just give up). She got absolutely screwed and lost some other questionable decisions and still kept going. War Celine Forever!

Calderwood seems to be trying to light a fire under her own butt: an ultimatum of title fight in the next four. That might be exactly what she needs since she has a habit of getting right the doorstep and then not pressing the doorbell. And, I mean, would she do any worse than Murphy in a title fight?

Things just got a lot scarier for Itzel Esquibel on Sunday. Haha out with the coof


Melissa Odessa replacing here

Gotta give hespect to a 47 year old woman with three kids for being in that kind of shape.

 

[PurpleStorm]

Fun weekend of fights.

Look forward to the rematch of RENA & Yamamoto. Gotta go with my favorite RENA, by decision.

Ketlen Vieira vs. Miesha Tate. Second fight of Tate's comeback journey. A more skilled opponent this time around. Good test for both. Viera by tko.

Joanne Wood vs. Taila Santos. Santos by tko.

Loma Lookboonmee vs. Lupita Godinez. Fun match up. Loma's relentless in her stand up game and Loopy's exciting to watch. Loma by decision.

Luana Pinheiro vs. Sam Hughes. Pinheiro by sub.

Wishing Haga a speedy recovery.

 

[Deleted member 363827]

I really hope Loma got a finish as unlikely as it is. Kinda suck that the only fighter with classic Muay Thai clinch game in UFC is the severely undersized Loma.

To be fair, Rena won't be 47 for another 17 years and she doesn't know about the three kids we're having yet.

I can confirm she still looks great after having them though.

Spoiler

now excuse me, I just have to go check this weekend's results before going to the bookies later (or do I mean earlier?)...

 

[Necrocrawler]

Im going with tate by decision

Im not sure Vieira has cardio for (her First in the UFC) 5 rounds.

She may grind a decision... But im still going with Tate

 

[leto1776]

 

[leto1776]

Lucia Szabova returns to ring in the new year with some violence

 

[Askafan]

Good matchups in the UFC tomorrow.

Cheering for Hughes against the thespian but expecting a Pinheiro win. Cheering for Loopy but expecting a Loma victory by, um, weight bullying. Is Calderwood's heart really still in this punching for pay business? Maybe not, picking Santos anyway. Tate vs Vieira, no idea, ok Tate by being an old soldier ........ all four fights to go the distance.
