Tonight WWE held their 2nd biggest PPV of the year “Summerslam” in Los Angeles CA. With it be held in LA one would expect to see some big names in the crowd, and indeed we did. The camera showed UFC Women’s Batemweight champion Ronda Rousey in the crowd. They even gave her a notable mention. Also in the crowd were the rest of the “4Horsewomen” and MMA stars Shayna Baszler, Jessamyn Duke and Marina Shafir. The girls were seeing backstage with WWE divas Paige and Natalya, WWE superstars Dalph Ziggler, Brock Lesnar and legendary manager Paul Heyman.
The love doesn’t stop there though because Stephanie McMahon flashed the “4’s” to the girls as she walked out to her match with Brie Bella (which can be seen here https://gfycat.com/ifrt/DigitalHeavenlyAmericanbulldog)
I’m sure this was a mark out moment not just for me but for a MMA and WWE fans alike

On Monday rumors started circulating that Bellator MMA would be the new home of legendary Gina Carano, since then owner of Bellator Scott Coker has denied that rumor but other sources say it has indeed been in talks. While we wait for those answers however I’m sure this morning’s announcement will hold us over until then. It was announced this morning that the newest members of Bellators 145lb decision are none other then long time WMMA standouts Marloes Coenen & Julia Budd. http://www.bellator.com/articles/bellator-mma-sign-julia-budd-marloes-coenen
I don’t know about you but I think that’s huge and for what it’s worth I think Coker is a smart business man. The UFC’s main women’s division is the 135 division with Bellator focusing on the 145ers Dana white and Scott Coker won’t have to be chopping at the bit for female stars. Further more this indeed puts Bellator right up there in completion with the flagship of MMA that is the “UFC”.
What do you guys think of this announcement, and what 145er would you like to see in Bellator next?
