WFLW already had a exciting year due to the upset of Grasso vs Shev and the rising of  Blanchfield. The coming-up matchups looks even better. Grasso vs Shev or Zhang. I think it's even odd for Grasso vs Shev now. Shev is the more well-rounded fighter, but her age is not on her side. I would...

I haven't seen her percision from any of her fights. She is trained well and has good-looking boxing basics. But she doesn't have the talent which great strikers need. She can't pressure oppoents who has good footwork since she has little awareness of space, so she can't trap her oppoents like...

Because Nunes has footwork and takedowns to reset engagement.

Aldana only shines when she brawls in the pocket, she doesn't have the talent to be an elite technical striker. Durability and strength are her best weapons.

Some random thoughts: If UFC wants to lure Nunes back, Val vs Pena for WBW belt will be the best shot. Nunes would hate to see either of them holding belt. LOL What would happen if Val fought Ronda years ago? Though Val is a much better grappler then Holm, would she resist the urge to do a arm...

Suarez's performace: Bad: She still has little to none striking skills, only throw some body kicks. With 4 inches reach advantage, she should have jabbed Andrade's face at will. Bad takedown entries due to no striking skills. Good: She can stick to a gameplan. Circling out when Andrade got...

Valentina is going to have troubles against any strong grapper if she moves up. If she keeps moving back in a straight line to the fench, she won't be able to avoid grapping with grappers.

I got a feeling that Nunes would retire soon because Pennington wasn't calling for a title shot against her. Tecia perhaps learnt Nunes would retire soon from Amanda or Nina. For Aldana's performance, I think she wasn't unprepared for the fight. Her TDD wasn't that bad, and kept her hands up...

The problem is that all grapplers who have faced Nunes either got finished early or received huge damage early in the fight. To have to a chance against Nunes, you need skills to avoid damage early in the fight. She can close the distance easily because she is the fastest WBW grappler, her...

She is a very strong fighter, but she isn't big for WBW division. She said she considered droping to flyweight when UFC started flyweight division. I remember that she was around 140lbs at fight night before child birth. If she can drop to flyweight after child birth, I think she should go for...

Pena is one of the best athletes in WMMA. She has cardio, strength and speed. She can close the distance fast, unlike Ladd and Viera who have to eat shots to get inside. And she always is the stronger fighter in grappling exchange. She won TUF mainly by being the best athlete in that season...

Pena has shity fighting IQ while Mcmann has a habit of giving up, this fight can't be judged by skills and athletism. I would favor Pena, but there is a decent chance that she will find a dumb way to lose a fight. I used to think Pena would be the most difficult match up for Nunes at 135...

Historically there are two types of fighters which Shev has been struggling with. First type is strong grappler who can out-grapple Shev. One of Shev's bad tendencies is grappling with everyone even when she shouldn‘t. Nunes won the first fight against her by out-grappling Shev for two rounds...

Some thoughts on big potential WMMA fights next year. Zhang vs Rose Zhang is the more well-rounder fighter while Rose is the better long-range striker. Zhang will need to bring out the forward pressure to punish Rose, otherwise Rose is likely to win a striking battle. Zhang hasn't shown...

She was a very dangerous pocket fighter back then, her last fight in KSW showed that she didn't know how to fight strikers with good movements. She reminds me of TRTless Vitor, former dangerous fighter somehow can't pull the trigger anymore. Not sure it's an USADA thing or her team can't give...

Well McCann‘s team clearly did their homework, lots of movement & successfully escape from clinch everytime. And Lipski didn't show any improvement at all. She couldn't find the range if the opponent refuses to stand still in front of her. Even worse, she lost all her aggressiveness and threw...

GDR has underrated striking power, Julie Kedzie said GDR punched her hardest among all her opponents. Ladd is a tough girl, but she has never faced a high level and powerful striker like GDR. It's very possible that she gets stunned at the start of the fight then can't recover herself. After...

JJ is a much harder matchup for Andrade than Rose due to her insane TDD and cardio. Of course Andrade would open to rematch against Rose rather than facing JJ again.

Spencer doesn‘t have good wrestling fundamentals. Fortunately, she is a very creative fighter who is able to close the distance and has her ways to break opponents' balance. If she stops training under her husband and go to a solid camp, she would be one of the elite wmma fighters.

Rose was slowing down in Round 2, her striking was losing power and she started to retreat in straight lines. Even if the slam didn't happen in round 2, Andrade would get the finish on the ground in later rounds.
