Signings/Scouting WMMA Discussion #29

[Trupsi]

quick picks: gabi fernandes, joselyne edwards, angie

Same here, Gabriella by better gas tank TKO, Joselyne by lay & pray decision, Angie by more volume decision.

I had no idea that Edwards had almost 400 K followers. When did she get this popular? I didn’t know she had a following like that.

Good fights, Angie's looking her age like I said her last fight this would be one she won 3 years ago, she can only beat weaker sw now.

Fernandez sharp striking she's really turned a corner from her ufc start.

Love seeing Zombie Girl get slept. Still can't believe Dana pretending she was a #1 contender fight for Val. I'd normally say they can finally cut her but if she stays at BW they need all the live bodies there.

Hill wasn’t just too slow yesterday, she didn’t throw a single straight punch, which was mind boggling. The best counter to a looping puncher like Lucindo is to throw straight down the pipe. Rodriguez showed that, even in a losing effort.

Edwards’ KO was impressive. Didn’t know she had that kind of power. Having a stationary opponent helps, but still…

The biggest disappointment of the weekend for me was Szabova vs Bolander at Oktagon. I was expecting a war, but Szabova landed a trip that blew out Bolander’s knee early in the first. Bolander could do nothing after but get pounded out. I hate when freak injuries ruin fights.

When ONE fighters say stuff like this, I often believe it’s ONE telling them to. Seriously, girl, read the room. ONE mma is on the way out

 

[Necrocrawler]

Cool. Going to go?

Thats a good question
I completely forgot about the first one (i was surprised to see it happening tbh)
But i may go to this one (it would be my first mma live event lol)

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Didn't see the post show last night but congratulations to Edwards winning her first POTN 50K.

I had not seen that she received a bonus. Cool.

 

[werepig]

not super excited about the matchups but both payahong and shannon gardiner are fun to watch

Svetlana Gotsyk posting about her experiences leading up to her last fight a few years ago (Lost to Piera Rodriguez for the vacant LFA strawweight title). Sounds interesting:

Nice
Its kinda far from here. Im going there in september for a heavy metal festival.

Mato Grosso, is one of the biggest state in Brazil… Its known for its “farm work” like soy and cattle.
Still… Its pretty rudimentary, compared to Rio and São Paulo

 

[leto1776]

Alana Cook (4-2) vs Vanessa Melo (11-12)



Alex Apodaca (0-1) vs Karine Cristine (2-1)

It’s weird how the truly regional shows do more to help grow bantamweight than the AAA shows on Fight Pass do, when their whole existence is basically to feed UFC.

Dumont has a new fight:

Lucindo is (still) getting the artificial push. Goes into the Hill fight ranked #9, Hill ranked #12. Somehow beating a lower ranked fighter earns her a move two slots up to #7. Meanwhile, Ricci, who went into her last fight at#10, beat #7 Ribas for her spot. Ridiculous.unlike Dana White, I don’t think switching to AI is the solution, either. It’s getting competent people to,do the rankings

They manipulate them to serve their purposes, but you know this. Like Siver getting a bump in rankings the week before his fight with Conor despite no fights at featherweight occurring that would have changed any rankings. It is not just competence, it is also an utter lack of integrity.
