Signings/Scouting WMMA Discussion #29

Ayaka Miura (15-5) vs Juliana Otalora (3-0) set for a ONE FF next month.


ONE is so goofy. The only challenger they have right now worth putting in a title fight, and they’re waiting her time with a girl who’s 3-0. Miura has already won four straight. She doesn’t need another gimme build up.

Denice probably faces ham next
They’re probably hoping her ring rust (and now age) will secure denice a title defense.

I'll take a Ham title shot even with One probably planning shenanigans and calculating this is an Old Man Stipe type of fight. But as this is One, and their track record of wishing Ham loses (which did not happen, and did not happen, and then did not happen again, and it took Stamp Fairtex to finally pull it off) they might be afraid that she wins (she should, unless she has really fallen off the cliff physically) and just have her sit on her fist some more. They really seem to think that now that she lost once (1) they can just pretend she is not on the roster at all.

Let Ham fight, tossers!
 
Missed the first ladyfight yesterday, the one where the russian lost.

Mullins vs. the other russian was pretty entertaining, the fencegrab was evil, though.

It seems that in interviews and depress quotes, Stamp, Denise, et al keep mentioning Ham and Xiong Jingnan, with little mention for Ayaka Miura, who is on a tear and has what should be an easy fight coming up. Ham has been kept inactive, and while Xiong had a fight recently, looked faded even in a win over Meng Bo, so it will likely be one of those two in order to make it easier for Denice.
I wish Ham would have never signed with ONE, and I wish Miura hadn’t recently signed a new contract. She’d make a great addition to RIZIN if they’re serious about doing a strawweight division.



Man, I’d hate to be an amateur fighter entering a tournament, only to find myself facing someone who’s already gone pro with a 3-0 record.
 
Two surprisingly good women's bw fights. Mullins really isn't a smart fighter. There was some fouls on the winners side of zheleznyakova and sygula but they also won 30-27 so a point was not the difference. Basically two striker vs grapplers who forgot to grapple.
Would be ok with Zheleznyakova getting a shot at Chandler's or Edwards' ranking next.

Update Zheleznyakova already got the #15 BW ranking today so she doesn't have to fight Chandler. Looking over her matchups she's been paired with three grapplers in the UFC losing to Perez (who's now top ten) I still like her and Edwards be a good striking matchup and at 29 she's young enough she could mature into a real contender.

Happy for Jas, she’s worked really hard after since coming to the UFC (I thought it was too early). I worry this is likely the ceiling for her, though

I'm scared they might give her Grasso next <Ellaria01>

Jasu vs Manon suddenly seems interesting though
as does Jasu vs Blanchfield (both grapplers, and Jasmine beat up Erin's, uh, good friend Fatima)...
