WMMA - Pancrase 282 - Syuri Kondo vs Sharma Devaiah - Weigh-in Staredown

[chamcham]

I always felt like Syuri Kondo is a fighter that never gets the attention she deserves.
She is fighting on the same card as Rin Nakai.

Syuri has legit striking and i believe she was (is????) Krush women's kickboxing champion.
Syuri is undefeated so far in MMA (http://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Syuri-Kondo-216929).

More importantly, she's a pro wrestler trained by Tajiri and the great hero of PRIDE, Akira Shoji


Pro wrestling is strong

I believe she is still technically the Krush women's champ but she doesn't seem to be planning on continuing her kickboxing career any time soon. She has also had some Shoot Boxing bouts in the past. She has only been training full on MMA since last December I believe and has already seemed to have gotten comfortable with the grappling aspects of the game.

Probably won't happen, at least not any time soon, but it would be cool to see her fight RENA some time down the road.

I'd take RENA in a fight between her and Syuri. Both of them have had handpicked opponents pretty much but I feel like RENA has a better striking game than Syuri.

Love Syuri though. She's a fantastic joshi pro wrestler and she has shown herself to have great potential in MMA too. Hope she continues to do well.

Syuri fought a 3-0 prospect in her debut (now 5-1 and fighting for RIZIN) who is primarily a grappler, hardly a handpicked opponent. I would favor RENA at the moment but Syuri has definitely fought the stiffest test (in MMA) between the 2. Syuri has also shown surprisingly solid grappling and isn't afraid he go for a takedown which would be an interesting dynamic to a fight between them.

I forgot about Kanna. Then again, I thought she looked smaller than Syuri and would struggle with the striking given that she was hyped as a grappler. I'm slightly ignorant of the weight classes but wasn't Kanna fighting up a weight class for Syuri?

Syuri's fine at grappling, I'd expect as much given her pro wrestling, but idk if RENA would be able to find a way to a submission from her back or not. Syuri hunting for takedowns would be interesting but I could only see her doing it if she was losing standup. Then again, cardio might be an issue too at some point.
