Nah...that ain't ain't it bruv. Coaches are Jackson & Winklejohn and they definitely know what they're doing. They're behind Jon Jones, Holly Holm, used to coach Rashad Evans and I believe at one time, GSP. Look them them up.
They were probably very confident in her hand game and as you see, Elkins wanted no parts of stand up with Claressa.
I'm doing a breast stroke in all the tears of her haters on Twitter right now.
I love it!!!!
Thats why I root and support our fighters so hard, because of all the BS from social media. Not all of em though
what exactly were you expecting????? She's a boxer.
kinda like people on Twitter telling Nunes that she can whoop her blah blah blah....no shit RIGHT NOW. It takes years to get even decent at that level in grappling. Give her time
Agreed. Plus she will improve quite a bit these months and years ahead. Opponents aren’t fucking with her level of boxing aptitude, so it’ll be on her to shore up her defense so that they’ll deal with alot trying to secure and maintain mat advantages. Good to have fellow pros like Holm & Karate MILF Waterson there at the camp to help her round out her skills. Congrats to her.
Completely disagree, Clarissa has been training ground game for about 6 months and just used sheer athletic ability to muscle a brown belt in BJJ under a legit lineage, she literally said nope to an deep arm bar and could have easily won earlier if she would have listened to her corner, the way she was able to use her hips to completely stuff ol girls technique was impressive. Clarissa stated in a earlier interview that she wants to be champ within 3 years, She has the right attitude and the right timeline, she also said in the pre fight that she knew she'd get taken down but she also knew she'd get up, again the right attitude, known ngbthatvmma is no joke...her hands are unmatched in wmma, her physical gifts are unmatched in wmma and when she learns her ground game she will destroy all these bitches. She's at the right camp and the right age to make the transition. Mark my words if she dedicates herself like she says she will, then she will be unstoppable.
Exactly Amanda Nunes was koed by cat zingano early in her career, she never has and never will have the hands that Clarissa has and if she can't take her down, she will die.
The glee in my face when she she stuffed one takedown with a sprawl....
For a beginner, that was awesome to see....
champ in 3 years, in which organization and what weight class??? She can do it at Bellator in 155lbs division, because there’s not much competition, besides that I don’t see it…
I listened to her interview on Joe Rogan, it doesn’t sound like she’s in love MMA, she’s just doing it for the money and the fame…
and for her camp, Jackson & Wink gym is not what they used to be
In the ufc, if you don't see the raw talent and potential idk what to tell you, there isn't a single female on the roster who can hit as hard as her, and Jackson wink still has the greatest MMA fighter of all time and one of the best female MMA fighters of all time, they're bringing in Olympic wrestlers ect. As far as her being in love with the sport, It's prize fighting, money is always the goal, anyone who says otherwise is just promoting, all she needs to be in love with is winning and cashing those checks lol
I’m saving this post, and I will send it to you on June, 11th 2024… only if I’m right lol
Lol sure thing, but don't say I didn't tell you so when the gwoat runs through these sorry white and Brazilian bitches that run wmma right now.I’m saving this post, and I will send it to you on June, 11th 2024… only if I’m right lol
Appreciate it fam

I believe i heard an interview where she alluded that she can't call herself the GWOAT if she doesn't challenge herself in the other fighting arts. Fact that she isn't afraid to mix it up by stepping into the cage, we're riding with her over here!
Can only imagine if he started training in mma when he was still Pretty Boy Floyd...
As another member said, supporting her win-loose-or draw!

This brother had it saved in Google Calendar.
It has, it's a shame she hasn't dedicated herself to MMA. One fight in 3 years definitely isn't going to cut it.
