Signings/Scouting WMMA Discussion #29

[Xuh]

this week's "uhhhh... idk" picks:
- julija by hilarious armbar
- molly ud i guess?
- vivi plods forward and eats lots of left high kicks from natalia

the same (without the 'idk'. so it is written, so it shall be )

Cheering for Silva, Belbita and Stoliarenko, trouble is I think two are going to lose ...... not Silva.

McCourt posting pics with Dana and tweeting about if she could make 135 in the UFC. Any chance she leaves PFL/Bellator?

Shakalova to the UFC is more likely but McCourt is obviously known to Dana.

Before we sign anyone I think Luana Carolina (&Cachoeira) should be told they’re moving up to 135.

She was with Dana and Eddie Hern a few days ago.

Either one can be a nice ez win into the UFC for McCourt.

POTN MEATBALL 50k love to see it.

props to Luana for not succumbing to Julija's armbar
(and feel bad for Diana falling to Molly's, that looked painful)
natalia looked as expected, but I don't see her progressing much further without more of a game plan...

Doesn't she always? I am sure they can find another 135 or 125 lbs. woman who needs a payday for her to beat on.

Cris really will talk about anyone not named Pacheco

Viviane Araujo vs. Natália Silva. Silva's superior footwork and leg kicks earned her the decisive UD. Big win for Silva will move her up in the rankings. She's fun to watch.

Molly McCann vs. Diana Belbiţă. Brutal arm bar sub by McCann. Haven't yet checked for an update on Belbita. Wishing her a speedy recovery.

Julija Stoliarenko vs. Luana Carolina. Carolina withstood numerous sub attempts and out struck the exhausted Stoli. Wonder if Carolina will move up since she was over by 3 or 4 pounds.

Was not happy about this - wanted her to get submitted - boo. But what felt kinda weird, was the commentary team saying "she looks good despite the weight miss" - like, that they were saying she "overcame" the weight miss and still managed to look good? Or did I just misread the meaning.

Why am I even trying to analyze the yammering of the commentary team?

Need to check up on the other two fights, missed the whole card live and only watched the Stoli one so far.

Anyone still need confirmation featherweight is a paper thin division?

There’s the occasional weirdo that thinks “if you build it, they will come.”

(come to think of it, doesn't UFC matchmaking actually 'work' like this?)
