Zero Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I've had the opportunity to goto an Invicta show, and it was a blast. Also, met Cyborg & Tito very friendly. Looking forward to this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ken Erico Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 I really like the pacing of those smaller 7-8 fight cards that Invicta is doing. And i doubt that we get those 15 scheduled rounds in the 3 title fights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 7, 2015 Author Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yeah, seven or eight fights is the right length. However, they will probably go back to nine or ten fights when there isn't three titles on the line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yet another don't blink or you'll miss it fights for Cris. What's the big picture for her after this fight? Does she have to prove that she can cut down to 135 before UFC signs her? I remember a lot of rumors regarding her and the UFC before her last fight... I wonder if Herica wears the baggy, cotton t-shirt again and if so, how much do the announcers shit all over it? She really does look like a 16-year-old girl. Her standup was really rigid against Waterson but her takedowns and scrambling ability were enough. What is Hamasaki's skill set like? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does she have to prove that she can cut down to 135 before UFC signs her? I remember a lot of rumors regarding her and the UFC before her last fight... Technically, she is already signed with the UFC. However, she would need to make 135 after this fight with Van Duin. The IV ban may be a new sticking point unless people find a quick workaround.

Jiji Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 It would be a shame if we didn't get to see Cyborg vs. Rousey but if she can't make it work, she can't make it work. If they gave Cyborg a couple of tune-up fights to introduce her to the UFC audience, the buzz surrounding that fight would be outstanding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 8, 2015 Author Share Posted July 8, 2015 Cyborg vs. Tate would be the best appetizer for that fight. Tate has a name and is also extremely hittable. It would be the spectacle to behold. If you're willing to do Holm vs. Pennington as a co-main, then you could make Cyborg/Tate as a co-main for Rousey vs. whoever else. Perfect setup.

Jiji Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Would Tate even want that fight? Her manager would probably be charged with criminal neglect if he/she let Tate take that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 +1 for Spinal Tap reference. Also, good on Tate for taking that stance but "it's my job" is basically her saying "please don't sentence me to my death." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiztor Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 please no Tate/Cyborg. i like rooting for Meisha but she would get absolutely steamrolled in that fight and i really don't want to see that. literally anybody else and i'm ok with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Tate said on UFC tonight awhile back after taking shots at Rousey for Entourage's opening weekend box office she would fight Cyborg at 145. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.T. Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Miesha is a professional. What else is she going to say? I would fight Cyborg at 145. Doesn't mean that in my heart I really wanted to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 She was in tears on the stool. You have to feel bad for her, but she really needs to evaluate her place in MMA. That's three pro fights and two bad concussions already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Pannie Kianzad could beat a lot of girls in the UFC bantamweight division right now. She has really nice punching technique and good control/awareness on the ground. She still has some stuff to work on so it's good that she is in Invicta.

Elsalvajeloco Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 Hamasaki won a decision, which was the right choice. She spent a good portion of the fight in top position and landed some quick punches that slowed down Tiburcio's timing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 You should just pre-break your nose before fighting Cyborg so it won't hurt as bad when she actually does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
