News UFC 299 hasn't finished adding new fights yet. Joanne Wood vs. Maryna Moroz is official

[RockyLockridge]

This 299 card is lined up better than 300 IMO.

I would not agree simply by virtue that this has moroz vs wood

 

[Ares Black]

yeah. lets hope goes out with a W and revenge her loss against Moroz

It would be a nice ending but TBH I expect her to lose by sub again.

 

[Siver!]

What an amazing card this is:

Weight class				Method	Round	Time	Notes

Lightweight	Dustin Poirier	vs.	Benoît Saint Denis
Heavyweight	Curtis Blaydes	vs.	Jailton Almeida
Welterweight	Gilbert Burns	vs.	Jack Della Maddalena
Welterweight	Kevin Holland	vs.	Michael Page
Bantamweight	Petr Yan	vs.	Song Yadong
Lightweight	Mateusz Gamrot	vs.	Rafael dos Anjos
Women's Flyweight	Katlyn Chookagian	vs.	Maycee Barber
Bantamweight	Pedro Munhoz	vs.	Kyler Phillips
Heavyweight	Robelis Despaigne	vs.	Josh Parisian
Middleweight	Michel Pereira	vs.	Michal Oleksiejczuk
Flyweight	C.J. Vergara	vs.	Assu Almabayev

Slightly disappointing booking.

Both Moroz and Wood are limited veterans. Having them fight over the #15 ranking just doesn't seem quite right. I'd rather Wood defending against someone like Jasudavicius, who (while not especially young) is less shop-worn than these two.

This feels like a fight that should happen once Wood has dropped out of the rankings, between two fighters vying to get BACK IN, not tying up that ranking spot for two fighters who won't be making a run up the ladder now or in the future.

Yeah.

Not really a fan of this one in context.

As a stand alone fight, though, it's fine. Just fine. Slightly uninspired, but nothing to cry over.

EDIT: Just seen Wood is retiring anyway, so scratch the comment about tying up a ranking place. Still not sure Moroz deserves it if she wins, though.

 

[xhaydenx]

Isn't this a rematch? Or am I crazy?

MM should win

Yep, rematch.

Was Moroz's debut in the UFC.

She ran through Jojo within 2 minutes. Finished her with an armbar.

Moroz was a lot younger and hungrier back then, wheras now she's a bit more of a insta and OnlyFans model these days, so it'll probably be a closer fight. Jojo almost 40 now and has declined a lot.

I don't think for one moment that this bout is a deal breaker. I was commenting because I have followed her career.

 

[RiseAboveHat]

I only recently learned she changed her name... why did she do that?

 

[EndlessCritic]

Yes it is, from 9 years ago I think lol.

They were hyping Wood as a future title contender to Joanna but Mary a finished her very quickly afterwards.

Moroz beat Mayra Bueno Silva too.

 

[Khaosan]

They really should have saved this banger for the UFC 300 main event.

Between any fight on 300 and any fight on 299 this is the worst 1 easily.

 

[Harlekin]

Now the card is a little less good. Well I can skip the air fighting

 

[NicholasJBasile]

I wasn't aware that Joanne Wood was still in the UFC -- good for her I guess; I also feel this is a very winnable fight for her if she doesn't slip on any banana peels.

 

[Derbemag]

UFC 299 > UFC 300

I only recently learned she changed her name... why did she do that?

I believe “Calder” is a racist term.

 

[Shadey1]

This is a rematch right? Think Moroz subbed her years ago. I like JoJo but I think Moroz takes this

 

[samuelsoncast]

I believe “Calder” is a racist term.

Aye. It means calder than usual.

 

[Ares Black]

She got married to her coach, John Wood of Syndicate MMA.
