No one gives a shit about Magana.
That's a fact. She's so bad that it isn't even fun to watch her get outclassed and embarrassed. Magana needs to go away.

The lack of LW title fights has some impact, but the need for consecutive and more importantly, MEANINGFUL, wins should be obvious for any type of competition. The lack of this essential quality in a title challenger, some would call it relevancy, only exists in shallow talent pools.
Umm... She's still considered by most to be a top 3 female P4P boxer (Top P4P by many until she retired). So yeah, it's definitely a much more marketable fight than Ronda vs Tate 3.
And sure... LW is stacked. I never said other wise, you assumed I said that it wasn't because you're an idiot.
You must be a special kind of stupid.
I'm saying that there's a huge fucking bottleneck at LW when it comes to fighting for the title because the champs have been so inactive. Not to mention all the fucking rematches.
Penn vs Edgar... Twice.
Edgar vs Maynard... Twice
Edgar vs Bendo... Twice
And now RDA vs Cerrone... Twice.
It is a well-known fact that one's lifestyle can affect one's mortality rate. A new study links high to moderate stress levels to an increase in mortality. According to the study, conducted by Carolyn Aldwin of Oregon State University, individuals who tend to live a more stressful life have a 50% higher chance of dying.

Your argument is like a petty officer criticizing a Navy SEAL for their higher standards.
WMMA is neat, and there are exceptions like the top 2 or 3 in the handful of divisions that exist. It is still developing, and it is only natural that it has a shallow talent pool. There's no reason to hold this against the fighters. It might get better with time, but one also cannot deny the obvious.
It insinuates that Holm is particularly popular and that's why she got the shot after two fights, as if it's not because the division is weak.
There have been exceptions lately on account of the pro rasslin dorks, but that has nothing to do with what you said. The majority of title challengers have done something that mattered, WMMA is the other way around. The majority of fighters have done very little, because there aren't enough people doing it.Brock and Chael might want to have a word with you about that.
Not saying that the WBW div is stacked. But the UFC is making this fight because it's the fight they think will draw the most revenue (much like they did with Brock and Chael). If the UFC wanted to put Ronda against someone with consecutive and meaningful wins, they would have put her up against Tate again.
Wow, what a surprise, another double standard against WMMA that the men have been doing for years
We can post a list a MILE long of UFC fighters who got title shots off 2 wins, 1 win, 0 win and Losses!!!
Here...I'll start
Title shot coming off a loss: Nick Diaz vs GSP
Title Shot with ZERO wins in the division: Chael vs Jones
Title Shot off 1 win: Brock Lesnar
Title shot off 2 wins: big nog, shogun and a millions others
No one gives a shit about Magana.
Angela Magana smells like baked beans

How being a multi-decorated boxer that is undefeated in MMA not marketable? Holm is more marketable than Vick, which is Magana's point.
Holm's last 10 opponents...
Mary McGee (20-1) win
Diana Prazak (11-1) win
Anne Mathis (26-1) win
Anne Mathis (25-1) loss
Victoria Cisneros (5-11-2) win
Ann Saccurato (15-4-2) win
Jaime Clampitt (21-4-1) win
Chevelle Hallback (27-5-2) win
Victoria Cisneros (3-7-2) win
Terri Blair (11-13-2) win

world class means fighting three fights against two women with more losses than wins and ducking Cecilia Braekhus. i dont see too many men's champs, much less GOAT candidates fighting dudes with losing records when they're at the top of the game.
you ever consider that the men's division is MUCH deeper than the women's?
there are 118 dudes listed on the UFC men's LW division page...there are 26 women listed on the UFC women's BW division. Vick is ranked #38 after 4 wins in the UFC...there arent even 38 women on the women's BW roster. one of these is shallower than the other.
how the hell can you not see the difference?
you must be a special kind of stupid.
Angela Magana seems real bitchy for someone who lives in Thailand and claims to be a spiritual person.
Magana isn't marketable either.
The 3 most marketable SW's weren't even on the show: Joanna, PVZ and Gadelha.
He owned the entire WBW with his shit talk, maybe even all of WMMA. He won.
