I love that a small regional event is having a WMMA main event. If the rumors were true then once the rest of the new TV deal is ironed out 105ers might be next.
She wants a belt so desperately, I’d be fine with it, if the price was sending fat, disrespectful Dern out of the sport.An interim belt, which I am generally against, would be great just to piss of Leto. He is a good guy, but fun to fuck with about Shevchenko.
@leto1776
Just to make sure he sees this.
It might just be that Dern has a lot more natural talent than ABC than "anything can happen."You know, I’d say that 95% of the time, I love this sport. That other 5%? Usually consists of occasions that either frustrate me, disappoint me, or disgust me.
Dern vs Cooper is definitely an example of all three that fall into that 5%. That a lazy, unconditioned person who obviously doesn’t take the sport seriously, and is only in it for the minor fame it brings, can bring down a fighter who trains full time, and takes it seriously, with a sloppy ass haymaker is definitely an example of the “anything can happen in mma” mantra can make this sport look bad.

Silly response:Who will win in a battle of top prospects Rose and Tecia.
I was talking like I was still back in early Ronda era not currently. Both fighters were 2 - 0 back then and they showed a lot of potential in their previous fights.Silly response:
They're 1-1 with both fights being close, Rose is 8-3 and Tecia is 10-2 albeit Rose has beaten better fighters (actually just JJ, we'll soon see if Tecia can beat her too).
Tecia is cooler because she's such alolinoli (near loli), stand ever Short and Proud.
I know you were, that's why I prefaced it with "silly response" AKA an excuse to espouse the spirit of littleness!I was talking like I was still back in early Ronda era not currently. Both fighters were 2 - 0 back then and they showed a lot of potential in their previous fights.
gotcha! sorry did not understand your post.I know you were, that's why I prefaced it with "silly response" AKA an excuse to espouse the spirit of littleness!

Cooper may have underestimated Dern's speed. Dern threw a jab which prompted a late counter by Cooper. Unfortunately for Cooper, Dern's haymaker landed first.You know, I’d say that 95% of the time, I love this sport. That other 5%?

I would say most of the reason why I don't enjoy MMA as much today is because there always seems to be so much drama that's not pertaining to the actual fights. I was thinking this is probably why the early Ronda era was so special to me. It started to turn me from a casual fan to a hardcore fan. Yes the fights were a bit more exciting but I also don't remember a lot of drama going down back then.
I could be wrong and just was ignorant to the drama because I was a newly turned hardcore fan. I just remember having a lot of highs back then and none of the lows that we seem to get weekly now. My main concerns back then was if anyone could last more than a minute with Ronda. If Ronda could armbar a vet like Tate the way she did everyone else. How did Tecia decimate Felice so badly? Who will win in a battle of top prospects Rose and Tecia. How the heck did Tate survive that headkick only to win the fight anyway.
A few days ago, Brazilian middleweight kickboxer Barbara Nepomuceno announced she had signed with a new management company:
Now, she has already announced her signing with Korean promotion Road FC, and will make her pro mma debut with them:
Jozette Cotton missed weight by 15 pounds for her Bellator fight.What is the most anyone has missed weight by in Women's
MMA and not have the commission or promoter cancel a
fight since I know Mackenzie Dern has had misses of 5 lbs
on one and 7 lbs most recent.
Janay also came in at 145 pounds for a 140 pound fight with Ramona Pascual in the fight before her recent one with Leibrock.Jozette Cotton missed weight by 15 pounds for her Bellator fight.
Lots of big misses at 115, Kinberly Novaes was 121 for a strawweight fight against Janaisa Morandin. Maycee Barber weighed in at 123 for a strawweight fight once too, and the last one I can think of is Miranda Maverick coming in at 120.
Janay Harding was 143 against Jessy Jess for a 135 lb bout, but they deducted some points from her.
Cyborg, and Carano both missed by over 5 pounds in elite XC.
