Shadow225 posted:I put Joanna in the same category as Ronda and DMMMMMJ, where they have elite tools in relatively new divisions that will keep them on top until they retire or leave their primes. I don't see the gap as being quite that big for Joanna, yet, certainly not Ronda-sized. Joanna had a competitive fight with Gadelha and while I don't think Penne has poo poo for her, I think she'll have real challengers. I dunno much about Aguilar, but if she gets by Gadelha, I'd expect that to be a good match.

I'm not trying to discredit your point I just feel that it undervalues what Mighty Mouse is actually doing.

The best part, which I didn't notice the first time, was when Carla tries to fake a takedown to set up some punches, and just eats another really hard right hand.

Bubba Smith posted:Sort of. Flyweight is a new division but Demetrious Johnson's peers have elite tools too they are just a half-step behind him. Like Benavidez and Dodson are elite bantamweights fighting at flyweight and the rest of the division is mostly competent as well. i was going to say something similar. it is unfair to compare flyweight with either of the women's divisions and dj is one of the finest fighters alive

If you want to be able to enjoy that fight without feeling bad just watch the tuf season, particularly anytime Carla is in the same room as felice herrig, or when she's bitchy at all around sweetheat Randa Markos because she dared to win her fight against Felice.

Because it's WMMA this made Aguilar think she was #1

I don't follow Bellator at all, so this is an FYI for folks who largely don't follow b-league MMA at all. I found by going through my cable guide that right now, on Spike, is a card that features a headliner fight between Kimbo and Ken Shamrock. I'm expecting something that makes Kimbo/Alexander look like Mighty Mouse/Dodson in comparison. I am going to watch it, and you should not. God protect me.

Like holy poo poo I can't recall a female in any division with the striking she has. The way she switches up levels and some of those combinations... She's on the must watch list.

POTATO IN MY ANUS posted:how bad was the beating I missed it You know how Penne's nose looks like a great target for Joanna's elbows and kicks? It is. After the second round when they pulled the fighters apart I thought "oh wow Joanna is bleeding?" but then I realized with horror that it was all Penne's blood.

Seeing Joanna throw combinations is a pure pleasure to watch, but I must admit seeing their aftermath is a bit cringeworthy sometimes.

Somebody pointed out Joanna's lack of a kicking game in the Esparza fight back in March. I was really glad to see her doing more of that today. Seriously, some of those combinations were Condit level beautiful.

It was fun watching her react to Penne's Turtle-Fu by kind of kicking her in the rear end out of irritation and then just going away until she got up.

loving hell, I love Joanna Champion. love her fights. love her interviews. she's amazing. in the second round when Penne's face was getting turned into porridge I thought of two things, first of all, the poster who hoped Joanna would give her a nose reconstruction in the fight. good call. second of all I thought of Penne calling her Golum, having a pop at her looks, after breaking down in tears on TUF when talking about people insulting her because of her looks. get hosed Penne. someone captured Joanna rubbing her belly before the fight began, right? without spoilers if possible, rest of the show / prelims worth watching?

I said something like that nosejob comment earlier and 100% agree. Penne was so awful in TUF, and her catty pre fight comment cemented that it wasn't just reality tv editing making her seem that way. Glad Joanna dominated both her and Carla. Now if Joanna rrearranged the face of Randa Markos or something I'd just feel depressed. As for the rest of the main card ehhh not really

Yeah, unless Rose catches a batshit flying submission early she probably gets tuned up pretty bad against JJ. Her striking is fun but nowhere near on that level based on what we've seen.
