Former ROH World Champion Roderick Strong said he wanted to “pursue other opportunities” when he left the company in June … and now he’s getting the opportunity to be a dad!

Strong’s fiancée — MMA fighter Marina Shafir — shared the news Monday night on Instagram … saying, “This is REAL life. I simply cannot explain the emotions that have been flooding me and @roderickstrong in the last few weeks … I did not prepare to be a mom (even though, everyone close around me always told me I had the instinct), but I’m on this bandwagon to the end now!”

Shafir also invited fans to follow her pregnancy, noting that she’ll be restarting her YouTube channel and vlogging about the experience weekly.

No word on the baby’s gender … but with those genes, we’re assuming it’ll be a badass bundle of joy.

Marina Shafir signs with Invicta

April 1st is a day where people play pranks on each other all around the world, so when I heard the news of the supernova from Meldova signing with Invicta fighting Championship I was hesitant to get excited. That is until Marina made the official announcement on the MMA roasted podcast yesterday.

If I wasn’t out and about all day yesterday I would’ve  posted about this much sooner. Nonetheless this is a HUGE signing for invictaFC. Shafir will be a competing at 145lbs placing her in an already stacked featherweight division. Shafir has an overall fight record of (5-1) and professionally she stands at (1-1) 

Her last fight took place in August of last year where she suffered a first round TKO lost against Amanda Bell.

Shafir is still very young in the fight game and shows tons of potential. It would be great to see her get a rematch against Bell (Bell also recently signed with invicta) or maybe somewhere down the line we can see a Shafir vs Cyborg match up (that’s if cyborg stays at 145) 

Only time will tell but one thing is Forsure the supernova from Meldova  is sure to shake up the featherweight  divison and make a giant impact on InvictaFC.

I know as a fan myself I can’t wait to see what the future holds for Marina. As someone who had the honor of seeing her fight live and meeting her I know she’s a force to be reckon with.

How do you guys feel about invicta’s newest athlete. Let us know in the comments below.

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.

Marina Shafir announces she’s moving to pro competition.

20140213-151702.jpg

Just found out that one of the 4Horsewomen and one of my favorite fighters who I had the pleasure of seeing seeing fight this last Sunday when she defeated Nicole “Figet” Upshaw to maintain a perfect record of 5-0 (Marina Shafir) is moving to pro competition. Read more here

http://www.scifighting.com/2014/02/10/25548/scifighting-exclusive-tuf-coach-marina-shafir-im-going-pro/

The question is when will this happen and when it does will the UFC start sigining 145lbs women since that’s the weight Shafir currently fights in?? Or will she drop to the 135lbs weight class and take on competitors such as her friends Jessamyn Duke, Shayna Baszler, or even UFC women’s battemweight champion Ronda Rousey???

I guess only time will tell, but one thing is forsure. I’m so happy about this announcement and so proud of the Super Nova from Moldova

What are your thoughts. Let me know.
