Jessamyn Duke set to undergo hand surgery

20140717-232959.jpg

Some pretty upsetting news for members of the Gun Club. It was announced via twitter @Mable_Duke (Jessamyn’s mom) that the bones in her palm are not suppose to be sticking out and that Jess will need surgery to repair the problem. Surgery is scheduled for tomorrow morning (Friday) you can check out the tweet here

For those who don’t know Duke broke her hand in two places in her bout against smith last night (7/16/14 at UFC fight night 45) after landing a right to the face of smith. Due to the injury Duke was unable to properly defend when pushed up against the cage. Smith then hit Duke with a knee to the liver which caused Duke to drop ultimately leading to the stoppage by the referee.

After the fight via twitter smith thanked Duke for the fight into which Duke responded “No THANK YOU. Disappointed that I couldn’t give you more but grateful for the opportunity nonetheless”

One can assume that a rematch between these to is bound to happen, but first things first. It’s recovery time for “The Gun” on behalf of everyone here on DTRTwrestling we would like to extend our well wishes to Jessamyn and hope for a speedy recovery. As a huge fan I would like to personally say that no matter what happens I’ll be here eagerly awaiting her return to the octagon. She has my support 100%

You can check out photos of the injury below.

Exciting news for members of “the Gun Club”

20140609-233318.jpg

You know those nights when you’re too excited so sleep is non exist? Well tonight is one of those nights for me. Not only me but all members of “the Gun Club” it was JUST ANNOUNCED via twitter by “the gun” herself that there’s going to be a fight announcement coming soon

That’s right ladies and gents Jessamyn Duke is once again stepping foot in the octagon sometime in the near future. We last saw Duke in the octagon on April 26th at UFC172 in which Duke came up short(if you even want to call it that) against Bethe corriea who will later take on Duke’s training partner Shayna Baszler Aug 2nd at UFC176 in Los Angeles CA.

Now you may recall shortly after that fight I posted a piece stating that this was only the beginning, she will one day be a threat to Rousey’s title(I still firmly believe that by the way) and that the #JessMovement lives!
Well this announcement proves my point. So who do you guys think her opponent will be? One things forsure whoever it is will have their hands full because all of us should already know “Don’t play with Guns”

Is it the Summer of the 4Horsewomen?

20140530-095800.jpg

It seems like every week there’s some news story involving the 4Horsewomen and the WWE. Like I’ve said before its obvious that the ladies have love and respect for the WWE, and that love is given back to the ladies by quite a few members in the WWE locker room. It’s now being reported via wrestling observer, PWmania. wrestleZone and other various wrestling news sites that a 4Horsewomen appearance can very well be happening in the near future. When I say near I mean like two months from now. Yep it’s being said that the heels of WMMA may have some involvement in WWE’s 2nd biggest PPV of the year “Summerslam”

Given that its Summerslam is being held Los Angeles CA for the 6th straight year and the fact that all of the 4Horsewomen will have a clear schedule (Rousey’s next fight is July, Baszler’s Aug 2nd, Duke just had her fight and same with Shafir) the possibility is not a stretch at all.

So could this be it? The moment us WWE/UFC more specifically 4Horswomen fans have been waiting for? I mean can you imagine Rousey or Baszler cutting a promo with their “entourage” behind them just staring their fo down? Just thinking about it gives me chills.
As far as Summerslam goes it takes place August 17th so there’s still time to set the appearance in stone

As more news comes to surface about this ever growing rumor we here at DTRTwreatling will keep you posted.

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.

Exclusive footage and news for this weeks Smackdown

20140212-095545.jpg

So as we all know Smackdown is tapped on a Tuesday and aired on a Friday.
Last night Smackdown was held in Ontario California and once again my two favorite UFC fighters Shayna Baszler and Jessamyn Duke were in attendance along with their friend Layzie

As some of you may or may not know Shayna and Jessamyn are members of an alliance/group called the 4Horsewomen that also consist of Marina Shafir and Ronda Rousey. This group was formed because of their love for wrestling and to pay respect to the group known as “the 4horsemen.

Originally it was stemmed from a picture the girls took online mimicking an iconic 4horsemen picture. Naturally the pic got a lot of hate and a lot of love thus came the birth of the 4horsewomen

The cool part of all of this is WWE’s Daniel Bryan is a fan of the 4Horsewomen and he threw up the 4’s in his entrance last night according to a tweet sent out by Shayna Baszler. You can check out the tweet below. By clicking the link

Further more Bryan threw his shirt to Jessamyn Duke which you can check out in a video here curiosity of Layzie’s IG

So ufc fans and wrestling fans alike if you’re excited about this as much as I am be sure to catch Smackdown this Friday to see if you can point out this moment

From what Shayna, Jessamyn and Layzie are saying we are not going to want to miss this Smackdown
