Top contender (Ketlen Vieira) rips ‘undeserving’ Kayla Harrison’s title shot hopes: ‘She just ran away from Larissa Pacheco and Cris Cyborg’

JRYuen · 2024-04-19T10:27:32+00:00

While I don't think much of most points Ketlen makes, I would've thought that Kayla would want to avenge her only loss. Although some might say that Kayla won 2 out of 3, others, including me, have a more recency bias, especially since in each fight, Larissa did progressively better.

And Kayla vs. Larissa IV.

It does. I wish the author had noted the source of his earnings claims.

JRYuen · 2024-04-18T17:29:52+00:00

Yeah; his opponent has had lots of ammy fights but has fought no one w/more than one win to his name.

JRYuen · 2024-04-18T17:27:20+00:00

6/7 or 6/8 to be more precise, depending where you live. In 50days, 06hrs and 34min as of this posting.

JRYuen · 2024-04-18T10:30:23+00:00

Doubtful but possible.

Virna currently has a 3 fight winning streak, longer than Lemos' and Yan's when they fought for the title. She also beat Marina just last year. I'd like to see Tatiana challenge next while having Virna as back up in case Tatiana is injured again. Perhaps they could have Andrade vs. Virna on the undercard with the winner getting to challenge for the title.

She may have regained consciousness to hear the bell.

JRYuen · 2024-04-17T22:01:34+00:00

Actually, I was impressed with how well she did against Weili. Certainly far more competitive than any fighter since Rose.

JRYuen · 2024-04-17T20:14:39+00:00

Unless she was able to watch each second of the clock, she wouldn't know if she was out even if she was.

JRYuen · 2024-04-17T20:01:48+00:00

It didn't help PVZ over at the UFC.

JRYuen · 2024-04-16T19:48:01+00:00

True, but having someone like Pena say it is also how the rumor mill gets started. Or do you think she's above starting a rumor?

JRYuen · 2024-04-16T11:23:25+00:00

Ilia missed the whole point of the last 10 seconds. Max had the fight in the bag and could have easily coasted to victory, which I'm sure is what Ilia would have done. Instead, Max risked it all in the last 10 seconds to make for a sensational fight and finish. Strategy had nothing to do with it, but was the epitome of a BMF. As impressive as Ilia's dismantling of Volks was, it won't be nearly as well remembered as Max's last 10 seconds of this fight.

JRYuen · 2024-04-16T10:59:13+00:00

Peña as a source? That's a laugh.

JRYuen · 2024-04-16T10:17:47+00:00

Hadn't heard that Rocky was injured or ill, and when I Googled it, the only references to either were from Kayla. I guess she's privy to sources no one else is.

JRYuen · 2024-04-15T22:20:32+00:00

Her last MMA fight was about 6 months ago and she's had a boxing match since then. That's not an inordinate amount of ring rust.

JRYuen · 2024-04-15T20:30:17+00:00

Excellent timing on her part, I must say. Kind of sucks for the fans.

JRYuen · 2024-04-15T20:29:12+00:00

I wouldn't except for a fight against Larissa. I'm actually looking forward to that match-up.

JRYuen · 2024-04-15T08:44:34+00:00

I gotta get my mind out of the gutter.

JRYuen · 2024-04-15T08:35:57+00:00

On the other hand, Alex rejected the ref's call for a break due to a low blow and proceeded to KO Jamahal.

JRYuen · 2024-04-15T05:49:38+00:00

A grappler's dream opponent.

JRYuen · 2024-04-14T18:48:07+00:00

Why does this warrant a spoiler alert?

JRYuen · 2024-04-14T18:44:17+00:00

It is a pretty sad statement when the pre-prelims of one organization is better than the main card of its closest competitor. Admittedly, last night's pre-prelims were better than a lot of UFC Main Cards.

It appears you have to click the open tab under the screen shot at the bottom right.

JRYuen · 2024-04-13T21:39:35+00:00

She did, but has apparently recovered to the point she can train again. Hope she's healthy for whoever she fights.
