Guys! WMMA is #1 on the list of biggest fights of the year 🥳

IMG_8510.png


biggest ROBBERIES of the year that is 😐
(notice that 4 out of 10 are WMMA, quite an overrepresentation, wat means?)

I remember Pudilova/Edwards pretty well as I'd made a large bet on Lucie (...and then tried to make some of that up a few weeks later on Waterson vs Pinheiro, which also makes the '(dis)honorable mentions list) (So maybe I'm biased but I thought judging was particularly bad last year). On the other hand I chanced across some tweets by a cute chinese gril student at former workplace expressing outrage at the decision (she made like ~3 tweets in 5 years and one of them was to rage about that fight lol). Was further amused to note she liked a bunch of extreme anti-korean tweets which would likely endear her to top korea respector leto1776. Hopefully UFC will finally get round to booking Weili vs Yaonan next year to give me an excuse to 'accidentally' bump in to her and say 'hay gurl do you know anything about MMA? ... Oh you do? Have you ever heard of a.... Sherdogger?'
(I've noticed c0mbat sports are actually fairly popular amongst the large population of chinese girls tudents we have here, Weili is a known name amongst them...)

Also notice that Murata vs Demopolous makes the list - and that was a unanimous robbery as well. Just more evidence the corrupt UFC bribed the judges to rig the result so they could unjustly cut Kanako #justice4kanako #FUUFC

Whoa, Road FC is still around? I tuned out of their stuff completely when Ham left them on (badish, I remember?) terms and headed to Rizin on her world tour of winning. Had really forgotten they even exist.
 


Wu Yanan (13-6) vs Wang Cong (3-0)
Big step up in experience for Wang.

Ham’s problem was with the scumbag manager in Japan who was robbing her. The Road FC president flew to Japan for Ham’s last fight when he found out what was happening with her money in order to get to the bottom of it. She only left Road because her contract was up and ONE came calling with supposedly a ton of money and potential for one last title before retirement.

I don't know Yuri so when they were announcing this I was wondering if they were booking RENA's comeback vs a K-pop singer.
<Irene2>
@giovanni_ss plz confirm whether this is in fact a K-pop idol moonlighting as a brutal human cockfighter?



and happy 2024 thread, may your favorite fighters do fantastically and crush all their opponents this year (unless they're facing Carla Esparza).

Ah right, the management! Remembered there was some shitty shenanigans. But didn't Ham fight in Rizin - winning the championship from Hamasaki etc, between Road and ONE? I am quite sure I don't have my timelines mixed.

Anyway, just had clean forgotten that a Hamless Road FC even exists.

Dear UFC management: Please book Kanako Murata vs. Carla Esparza. Actually, 115 should have a wrestling tournament with Carla, Murata, Loopy, and Suarez.
