Signings/Scouting WMMA Discussion #29

[Necrocrawler]

All, looking for examples of standing TKOs. I know there are plenty in mma, just having a hard time thinking of any. Trying to settle an argument of how common they are with some idiot in my YT comments

Lemme give you a Very random one

Armando polêmico x Jaime Marcelo.

Watch it. Its weird from start to finish.


Anyway, take a more recent one: adesanya x pereira I (in MMA)

 

[Mittens]

Even Maycee Barber has two - vs Aldrich and Robertson.

That is what you get for reading youtube comments. That hell hole is even worse than redit and twitter.

Shayna Baszler was on the receiving end of two: one from Nunes via leg kick and one from Bethe Correia.

Whenever I see Baszler's name I recall the hilarious time on The Ultimate Fighter when she kept saying Julianna Pena doesn't deserve to be in the same room with her and Pena whupped her.

At least she's doing pretty well in show rasslin. The "arrogant MMA bitch with submissions" works nicely there, and she's able to put on pretty entertaining matches of the more old-school sort (less somersaults, more "realistic" moves)

Well, no one with function above the brain stem can say that the women did not throw down.

I agree with him

When the fighter your org supports lose in, what can be said as basically "their game", you should listen to the voices of your head and plead for a NC. Its a special rules bout so It doesnt really matter on any regular rules anyway

Lol

 

[Necrocrawler]

I thought Santos' losing streak was bigger... but it's only three

The real mistery is If Norma can hit the scale

Don't the California commission still publish show money? Will be interesting to check that out ....... if a journalist bothers to ask of course.

[werepig]

ufc picks:
- montana is tough but slow - i think motivated jj ekes out a ud here
- yayyy murata is back! fun on the ground
- kk pieces up diana

 

[Xuh]

KK / Murata / JJ (all dec)

McMann / Carmouche / Cataline / Bishop (all dec), and Cyborg by... well, is Coker finally going to get the 'first death in major MMA' he's been trying so long for just before Bellator itself dies? I'm not trying to be funny either...

 

[Askafan]

Karolina, Murata, Aldrich

Bishop, McMann, Santos, Carmouche, Zingano

Average age of all sixteen fighters is 34, wmma becoming an elderly ladies sport?

 

[MajorTB]

Gdr vs Ladd, ankalaev vs cutelaba, and O'Malley vs green hair,

Edit Anderson vs cat

Correia/Baszler & Esparza/JJ come to mind as well.


Somewhat curious to see what happens with the fighters of Bellator. If they do fold, I hope to see some of their younger talent hit the UFC & some of the older talent do PFL. Diana Asvragova (if she remembers how to wrestle), Paula Cristina, & Sumiko Inaba would be welcome additions to 125, imo. Randi Field & Chiara Penco are better suited to 115 & neither is any worse than Godly or Belbita. For the bigger girls only Katerina Shakalova & Lorrany Santos really warrant a look, they’re very much in the same stage of their career as all the new UFC WBW signings. Leah McCourt probably can’t make 135 but if she can I see no reason why the UFC wouldn’t want her too at only 31.

As an aside, I think Zingano retires win or lose Saturday. McMann retiring should she lose seems like it could be possible as well. Cyborg wore her old UFC bikini to weigh in & said she forgave Dana recently.. weird but I suspect deliberate moves cause the biggest (& hardest) fights for her are in PFL & she’s got no interest in Harrison or Pacheco seemingly.

Oh, fuck. I just realized I now have a huge interest in Bellator staying alive I did not realize I had before.
