Combate going under?

 

[Xuh]

Aside from a scare early in the third round, Jasudavicius made easy work of Fatima Kline en route to a decision. People keep using size as an excuse, while ignoring that Kline is a big Strawweight.

I think size was a pretty big decider in that fight (along with inexperience). Even if Kline is a 'big strawweight' she's still a strawweight for now, and Jasu is a pretty big flyweight. It was very noticeable every time they clinched up Jasu would gradually overpower Kline. Most obvious case was rd 1 when Kline hit a great TD but she just couldn't pin Jasu flat, who slowly kept rising up and eventually reversed Kline (and when she did, she held her there; any time Kline tried to escape she got squashed hard). Contrast with Kline vs Kuziutina, who is a very athletic olympic medal winning judoka but a bit smaller than Kline - they had scrambles but there it was Kline who gradually come out on top and had few difficulties squashing her to the mat once she got on top.

I don't want to see any Rose 5 round events for a long time. I can take her sparring sessions as nice little demonstrations of skill over 3 rounds, but 5 is just too much.

Most of the next Invicta card just dropped, courtesy of Eventbrite:

I love how international Invicta is getting here (seems like the card is half Brazilian), though I suppose it's necessary for them to do that to trawl in enough talent now. Hopefully they have good 'border agents' getting those visas ready...

Palacios is a really nice get.

Feed her to Chih..... oh wait, that already happened.

Also, for anyone who enjoyed getting news from r/wmma, it’s dead. Not officially, but de facto. The mods shadow banned or outright banned people until only ReactQ was responsible for greater than 95% of posts there. Now his account is gone.

So weird. I don't understand what the heck happened or why. I hope anyone from there who is reading here knows they are welcome to post here. I'm glad we're all pretty chill here.

Poor Leonardo. She’s taking a lot of damage in her UFC stint. Still don’t understand why Dana signed her on DWCS. It was the most reluctant signing ever.



Danni finally getting a shot. Won’t be easy, though



A women’s mma fight in ONE. I’m shocked.

 

[leto1776]

She continues to improve on perfection:





Boxer Khalyla Kuruni. No idea what kind of training she’s been doing. My guess? Not making enough boxing

All i can say is:

I can't believe Leonardo is still signed. She was demolished by Silva on her last fight... They go and a do a proper favor to her... By matching her against an even better striker?

For the last... Multiple time sumo champion... I can't believe there's a female division at sumo lol. I don't really think its impossible to have one... but i could never imagine anything related.

rewatching lemos v. dern, what a barn burner! lemos has excellent cage wrestling defense and is far more active on bottom than MHod, i think virna is gonna have a hard time this weekend...

meantime i'm kinda glad dern isn't facing another big puncher next (she fights loopy on aug 3)

How does Danni Mac’s fight work in road to the ufc? If she wins is she in the ufc?

 

[Ares Black]

How does Danni Mac’s fight work in road to the ufc? If she wins is she in the ufc?

Not officially but effectively, as long as she wins in a reasonably entertaining fight.

They signed Wang Cong and Zhang Mingyang after their first round finishes but the made Thunder Knutts fight on the Contender Series after her safe decision win.

Pancrase flyweight championship bout this weekend:


Shigella is fun to watch. Lots of suplexes, slams. Challenger Sugiyama has far, far more experience, but is also much older.

Road FC will be crowning a new Atomweight champion, finally:


Should be a good one. Park is also down for a fight, while Shin is the brightest female prospect in Korea currently

this week's ufc picks:

- luana has been improving lately, so i'll go with her. carolina UD
- i don't think dione is imposing enough to overwhelm miranda. maverick UD.
- i really like virna 2.0! but i think amanda has too many tools. lemos TKO or UD

Good picks.

I'm going with

---

Maverick by sub
Virna by sub

The main event is tough to call. Lemos is a good striker but if Virna gets her to the ground it could be over.

Edited to add: Carolina by KO

Combate going under?

I can’t confirm, or name my source as it’s still just a rumor, but the word is that Univision, part owner of Combate and where they get the ratings that Campbell McClownin won’t shut up about, is dropping them. Imagine getting dropped by your owner. Univision also owns the studio they refuse to film anywhere outside of.

I will ask my in-laws. Several of them are huge fans of the fight game. (my wife is from Brazil).

 

[Eater of Souls]

Pudilova via toughness to dec.
Maverick via physicality to dec.
Jandiroba via experience, also dec. But Lemos has quite a few ways to win.
