Which belt is Amanda gonna defend next?

Is she gonna fight Ketlen Vieira in Brazil?
Also, Pena has been calling for the trilogy bout, so I guess that makes sense since they're 1-1 and both fights were awesome.
If so, when would that take place?

I just hope that it's not the fw belt that she defends next. Anything else is better than that.
 
IIRC she planned on defending the 145 belt against... whoever the hell the UFC picks and then it's most likely a rubbermatch with Pena.

A few more steaks and a beer?

She is on the small side. I don't think she cuts much water. She weighed in at 133 in one of her 135 fights. In her Joanna fight she actually weighed in at 123.

She was small at 135 but she is not small at 125. She's actually more muscular looking than most of the women at that weight. I think fighters sometimes just cut more weight than they need to sometimes depending on how they train. But if she's walking around at 125 lbs then that means that she small enough to make a cut to 115 and she's definitely not as small as those girls

Valentina really isn't a big girl. This was before Rose bulked up too.

Irene Aldana should be next up

She definitely cuts some weight to get at 125 unless you think she literally walks around at 125 lbs

I do think that. She says it herself here:


She routinely comes in at 124, 124.5 for her fights...I think I even remember her being 123 at one point. (EDIT: 123.5 against Joanna.) You really think she's making a cut, and then cutting beyond what she needs to just for fun? And she does it every time?

Valentina doesn't cut weight to hit 125. It's her natural division, and she was still hugely successful at 135 despite being undersized there.

Valentina doesn't cut weight and she weighs in exactly at 125?
