It's time for her to move away from the regional South American scene. Balin is much smaller than Faria, and I'm skeptical with the only reason being, to my knowledge, there has not been a single Argentine fighter to break through the ranks in MMA.įaria has had 16 fights, and many seasoned opponents. She just won a decision 2 weeks ago in her strawweight debut, and looks to continue that streak.

She will be removed on the next update with her move down to 115lbs. In my latest flyweight rankings Faria was ranked as the #11 Flyweight. This teaser actually got me pumped for this event 30 - MMA Super Heroes (event streams 4pm EST) And very surprising is that Ana Maria is 35 or 36. I'm interested how Maria does as a flyweight, but it would be a great upset for Porto if she were to do anything, but get a finish or dominating performance. Porto has a real thirst for the finish once she see an opponent hurt or weak. But, clearly that broke her as she tapped almost immediately to a rear-naked choke moments after. It was one sided, but Maria showed she could take quite a bit of punishment, and if it wasn't for a flying two-footed stomp, she might have been able to continue even longer. Porto destroyed Maria about 7 years ago in a fight that also allowed leg strikes to a downed opponent. Ana Maria (stream at 6pm EST here and/or here) However, Yamaguchi is solid everywhere, and if Iniong isn't able to handle the ground, she'll be out quickly. "Conviction", a likely nod to Gina Carano, made her return to MMA last year after a 3 year hiatus and showed a clean right straight, that was able to knock her opponent down. I was actually quite impressed with Iniong's boxing, and wouldn't be surprised to see her box Yamaguchi up a little. She hasn't fought since losing a controversial decision to Bellator veteran Patricia Vidonic at PXC 40. But for now the 5 ft fighter from Japan will give 105 a try.

She was year after year one of the best strawweights, and a spot on the UFC roster seemed imminent. Frausto's older sister, Zoila, fought in her Muay Thai about a month ago, and now 'Macaquinha' will make her Muay Thai debut as well. It's just nice to see fighters staying active anyway they can if they can't get a MMA fight going. I believe this is what caught Alistair Overeem (even though he was TOLD there would be two random tests in the next 6 months). She passed her random drug test administered by the Nevada State Athletic Commision. Perhaps not having to worry about sprawling, allows her to bring more in the stand up department.Īll that being said, this is still a must watch fight for me.

The striking I saw from Cyborg at the last Lion Fight was vastly improved from the striking of Cyborg in MMA. But, I see Cyborg taking a kick or two, then immediately closing the distance barraging Baars with hooks and whatever else she has added to her arsenal. It is especially difficult in the ring, where she can be cut off much easier.īaars has the height and probably the reach advantage. Her style requires space, and she does not maintain that space well enough. However, I think Cyborg will bring a viciousness and aggression Baars has never experienced in her 28 Muay Thai fights.īaars is from the Netherlands, and employs a very Dutch style kickboxing game. She may be Cyborg's toughest challenge to date, at least on paper.

Jorina Baars (Muay Thai fight live on AXS TV 10 pm EST) So much so I decided to separate this one week for itself.
