Was Antonina the biggest letdown in WMMA?

[Gigacardio]

Cynthia Calvilo started out well, she was top 10 worthy and improving, and then she went downhill equally 'well' and lost to underwhelming fighters.

I liked her more before I saw her as a coach on TUF. She's a great fighter and very attractive, but she seemed like a bit of a psycho. Not surprising I suppose.

I met both sisters & their coach and had a brief chat with them when they were in town for UFC 231. Valentina doesn't really have a filter sometimes so she can seem a bit crazy, but both sisters were totally cool to chill with. Antonina's the quiet thoughtful one and she's also drop dead gorgeous, even hotter than she looks in her photos. Their coach scares the fuck out of me though, I'm convinced he's actually a KGB agent who's dropped more than one body into the lake from his airplane.

Yeah I didn't dislike her, per se. I just found her super intense and a little off-putting.

What in the world are you talking about?

There are weight classes. Everyone is approximately the same size.

And there are countless examples of the slightly smaller fighter beating a larger fighter. Jessica Andrade fought most of her early career at 135 FFS.

I don't think you've actually watched much WMMA TBH.

I was always hot for Val but never saw much of her sister. When she came into the UFC, some of the beta threads were absurd and hardcore WMMA followers were hyping her up as much as her sister.

She came in looking mid as f and disappeared into the clouds (piloting now, I do believe).

Whilst WMMA has very few true brilliant fighters, on a scale of 1 to 2, how disappointed were you and were you invested in her?

The letdown is that WMMA exist.

Megan Anderson for me, 6 ft tall and long, had KO power, marketable looks, and had Australia to back her.

She was literally the recipe for a potential star, but she just couldn't put it together, also her division being non existent didn't help and there was no possible way she could've ever made 135

Elegant is banned.


Oh no.

Shevchenko who is not exactly a giant FLW fighting at 135 is a good example. Andrade fighting at both 125 and 135 even when she easily makes 115 is an even better example. I agree with your assessment of his watching habits.
