jesus, Powell cannot finish a triangle to save his life. Serious question, how does a guy like this get into the UFC?

This guy Powell is struggling with is on a 10 fight losing streak.
 
Powell looked bad on the fight that got him into the UFC as well on "Looking for a Fight". I think they just liked that he showed heart in winning after getting his nose broke. His kicks looked really bad and he was spamming them. I'd be very surprised if Klose loses, but it's hard to feel warm and fuzzy on guys debuting.
 
Hate to tell you guys but BJ looked really good on the countdown........................

Ah, so he was on that show. What is the UFC record of recruits from that show so far?

Really? we didn't get to see a whole lot but I didn't like what I saw. He was pushing his punches for sure, looks slower and older as expected.

Agreed. We haven't seen Penn up close in quite awhile, but he looked noticeably older to me. Same goes for movement and punching, looked slow and labored, while Yair looked fast and explosive. Was thinking not Yair ITD at +140 or Yair DEC initially, but I'm not so sure after seeing all that. Have to rewatch Penn/Edgar first and how Penn was stopped.

Really? I thought she looked good but gassed in r3. She easily outstruck kish in r1 and r2. Pls point out what you are seeing in case im being blind. Man jjl got lit up like a xmas tree by tecia fuckin torres

Tecia Torres is a good fighter though. Nina is not. Shes a glorified brawler whos balance is so shit that multiple times she fell back into the cage trying to throw weird girl kicks. Lets remember Kish is complete shit too. That was low level WMMA at its finest.

I still slightly favor her to beat JJL, but its going to be close and def not worth a 5u play

I have zero interest in putting money on 2 very low level HW's like Sherm and Harris, but I think Sherm is being overrated on here, his skills are WEAK, I know Harris is awful too, but lets not pretend like Sherm is even a mid tier level fighter, and I doubt u1.5 will be playable

What is WEAK about his skills? All we've really seen worth judging is his kickboxing which is not even close to bad.

Sherman is a 27 yr old HW. Not sure why you're writing him off. Can't fully grasp his potential yet, but he definitely has some.

But tecia doesnt have great standup jjl made her look like a prime roy jones! Shes not a brawler dude she has some technical standup. The falling back is because her push kick kept getting caught as she retracted her leg. If jjl outstrikes nina i will never bet wmma again straight up cos that would make no sense to me based on tape study.

But yeah no way 5 units on wmma limited myself to 2 units.

Tecia has very good standup, especially relative to 115 womens division. Amazing speed, great range management and awareness, very solid technique. Tecia would own Nina too.

Her standup is not technical man. Kish stood right in front of her with ZERO defense and Nina really didn't do much outside of straight punches and really sloppy kicks that immediately made her lose balance. Caught or not thats horrible IQ to throw such shit kicks, any good fighter would've countered them all day

I think Nina wins more off aggressiveness than anything. As long as she gets past jjl shit jab and put punches together on the inside she should be able to do that enough to win. JJL is shit too, this is for sure
 
Maybe my memory is off on tecia i had her down as a grinder/wrestler

It was interesting because right after that fight, Ricardo Ramos fought Alfred Khashakyan. Serra immediately said, "Man, you can notice the skill level difference from these two and the rest of the card". Ramos won and got signed too I believe. They should have probably only signed Ramos as he's UFC level. Khashakyan may be as well - he just KOed Chris Beal.
