The JessMovement will live on

20140426-223942.jpg

Bare with me because as I’m still upset this may not be the best material that I’m capable of. As some of you may know I haven’t been a long time fan of WMMA. In fact my love for the sport started only back in September of last year when TUF18 aired. It was TUF18 that led me to discover Marina Shafir, Shayna Baszler, Ronda Rousey and of corse the women that’s the topic of this blog Jessamyn Duke.

With that being said I’m not WMMA smart. I mean I know the basics but I’m still learning. Today was a day that I’ve been excited for since it was announced. In fact other then wrestlemania this was one of the things I was counting down for. It was Jessamyn “The Gun” Duke squaring off against Bethe “the carnivore” Correira.
Now admittedly I know nothing about Correia other then going into this bout she had an undefeated record of 7-0 pretty impressive right?
Just like Correira, Duke also had an undefeated record of 3-0 going into this bout so we knew that by the end of the night someone would no longer have a “zero” in their record. I’m sure you know who I was siding with simply based off some of my past post and or videos and if not just look at the title of this blog.
You could imagine how upset I was when the UD came back in the favor of Correira. However I wasn’t surprised. Throughout the fight I kept saying if this goes to decision Duke is loosing and that was simply because Correira landed more strikes. Honestly as a fan I don’t know what happened to Duke, because I truly thought she had it. I was so confident that truly I was hurt that the outcome was different.

With all this being said though I know it’s not the last we’ve seen of “The Gun” I know what she can do and despite what some of the naysayers may say she is not “just a fluke” she is indeed a rising star. Sure she may have lost this battle but there will be many more on the horizon. Jess is still very young and this is only the beginning. She will live to fight another day. She will continue to get better and better. The sky is the limit for her.
I’ll even go on record to say that “The Gun” is the next big thing in WMMA and one day SHE WILL be a threat to Rousey’s title and undefeated record. The JessMovement is not dead. It will live on for many years to come.

UFC 172 results.

As some of you may or may not know I did coverage on the UFC 172 prelims via twitter @DTRTwrestling. I only did prelims because I typically only order PPV’s if women are featured on the main card. That wasn’t the case this time. There was a happy moment for me on the prelims (Chris beal winning his debut) and of corse an upsetting moment (which I will address fully in another blog shortly)

Even though I didn’t see UFC 172 myself never fear because I have play by play results for you via “Bleacher Report” you can check them out here: http://m.bleacherreport.com/articles/2042347-ufc-172-live-results-play-by-play-and-fight-card-highlights

Are you guys happy with how UFC 172 went down? Or you going to sleep tonight a little bummed out just as I am? Sound off and let us know below in the comments.

Nessa’s Rant and info video

This video isn’t meant to offered anyone but I apologize in advance if it does. I felt like making this video to rant about a few things that were on my mind regarding the world of WMMA along with a reminder of tomorrow’s bout at UFC 172. This video is not intended to anger anyone. It’s meant to set up a platform for discussion. The video was suppose to be longer but as always my phone doesn’t like me. Remember my views expressed in this video is just ONE opinion. Now you know mine, lets here yours.

Chuck “iceman” Liddell says Ronda Rousey is paving the way for his daughter

20140423-142330.jpg

Yesterday at LAX former UFC star chuck “Iceman” Liddell was stopped by tmz to get his comments on what president Dana White Said about Rounda Rousey being the female chuck Liddell. Dana had made those comments simply because he believes that Rousey will fight anybody any place at anytime just like Liddell use to do. Liddell was actually flattered by the comments and couldn’t agree more. Liddell not only referred to Rousey as a great athlete but he went even further to say “she’s paving the way for my daughter”. Although with his daughter being only two it could be awhile before we see another Liddell in the octagon.
You can check out the full article here: http://m.tmz.com/#Article/2014/04/23/chuck-liddell-ronda-rousey-paving-the-way-video-dana-white

These kind of comments are what warm my heart because so often the media likes to portray Rousey in a negative light due to her confident and very blunt and honest attitude. The fact of that matter is though if it wasn’t for “Rowdy” Ronda Rousey there would be no women in the UFC and WMMA wouldn’t finally be getting the recognition it deserves, so in my opinion Rousey deserves all the success and more.

What do you think? Do you agree or disagree with me Liddell and white? Feel free to leave your comments. Lets discuss

The MLB & UFC collide

20140423-131733.jpg

Now I’m usually not a follower of Baseball, in fact I’m hardly a sports fanatic that is unless its pro wrestling or WMMA. However this Friday I will indeed be watching the opening pitch of the Orioles vs Royals game. Why you may ask? Well that’s because UFC women’s BATEMWEIGHT champ will be throwing the first pitch. Rousey will be in Baltimore to promote UFC172 which takes place this Saturday (4/26/14) live on PPV at 7PMpst/10PMest
Rousey will not be featured on this card, However her fellow 4Horsewomen buddy Jessamyn “The Gun” Duke will be apart of the prelims airing on fox sports 1 Saturday at 5PMpst/8PMest when she takes on Bethe Corriea

In the meantime feel free to check out more intro regarding Rousey’s opening pitch appearance

Invicta FC signs Stephanie “Snowflake” Egglink

20140422-132210.jpg

With the reestablishment of Invicta FC many WMMA fight fans are excited. (Invicta FC focuses solely on WMMA) and that’s why even casual fans love it so much. News broke nearly an hour ago that Invicta’s latest signy is XFC champion Stephanie “Snowflake Egglink.

Earlier this week Invicta also signed unbeaten Alexis Grasso. It seems that Invicta is trying to replenish a 115LBS devision.

There has been tones of talk regarding Egglink. She won three straight fights and went on to capture the title.

With both of these women being signed to the organization one can’t help but think that the future will be bright for Invicta. What are you guys thoughts on the recent news?
Let us know in the comments.
