WMMA Discussion #29

Not bad fights.
pudding is probably done in the UFC after that one. Carolina slowly becoming a decent fighter.

Maverick got the grappling win but really didn't make the statement of a big favorite ready for the top 15.

Virna imposed her game but lemons really kept up until she got to her back. Well earned 50k POTN armbar.
 


The girl she beat was 1-2, with a loss to someone who was 4-10, and got subbed by Hannah Goldy this year. Great finish, but I’ll wait to see more before crowning her the next best thing

Yeah I enjoyed all the fights. Maverick got the all important W, Carolina displayed continuing improvement and Virna showed her sick jitsu.

So Grasso vs Shevchenko 3 is finally made official for UFC 306. Not gonna lie, I’m not a fan of Grasso fighting in the co-main with not only two teammates, but her grappling coach fighting on the undercard. That’s really spreading her coaching staff thin. A part of me thinks that was an incentive for Shevchenko to finally agree to taking it. That, and the threat of losing the shot to Fiorot.

The other fights aren’t bad at all. Time for Aldana to either prove she’s still a contender, or make way for a new one. Jauregui still has work to do at Strawweight before she can move past prospect stage, and former Invicta champ Souza will definitely make her work
 
My picks sucked. Bruna Brasil dominated McCann. Bruna has improved from her previous fights. She has improved all around. McCann had toughness not to get finished. Bannon got the W. That fight was a bit more competitive.
I thought Bruna looked much improved as well. She also looked quite big out there for 115. I think she should fight Bannon or Knutsson next.

It's been a year since Bruna last beat up Bannon and she's gotten better. I'd like to see her fight someone who has been around the UFC maybe Reed next.

She looked so much better than the girl Loma beat up only a few months ago but then I been saying Loma should be in the top 15 for a year now. I have little doubt she get Karolina Who the media keeps throwing in there and she's still so young.

Molly made the fight fun but that's all she can do she just awful technically I'm sure next uk card they'll get her a more suitable jobber. Maybe we can see the meatball vs belbita trilogy everyone wants!

Bannon looked like she was getting beat at everything to start but that aledean didn't have any gas. Interesting to see what happens with both.
