After Claressa Shields successful MMA Debut, Who should she fight next?

[reservoirdogs]

I rather see her box though so Marshall it is

 

[LauderdaleBoss]

The rare poll where everyone is in agreement. Boxing for the win.

wasn’t her opponent some bjj brown belt though? Hard to get there, must be a good ground fighter that girl

And you saw how she got absolutely demolished. Her opponent could’ve easily submitted her but they quit. Some people don’t have heart, some do. Which explains why they lost the last 3 of their fights and are signed to the PFL.

there are levels to every belt...there are brown belts that claressa would beat easier than that last girl, and then there are brown belt mma fighters that might smoke claressa first round.

But MMA is a different game and she’s miles behind her competition. Her skill sets in ground game, wrestling, and the clinch are NOT where they need to be. She gets taken down like a white belt. She would get embarrassed by any competent MMA fighter - let alone Nunes who would demolish her.

Don’t get me wrong I respect the GWOAT, but it really pisses me off to see her training team let her down her BJJ was fukking embarrassing. The PFL is intentionally setting her up for failure to embarrass her as a boxer.

If she hadn’t hurt her opponent we woulda been talking about how it was too early for her to have been in an octagon. They really mistreat black fighters I see how they’re trying to destroy Shield’s legacy.

I personally think Shields takes another easy MMA bout before taking on Marshall. It'll build up her profile with casuals more.

 

[True Blue Moon]

Hopefully an absolute nobody. She's young enough for them to slow play her development and not rush it. She can make some money if she gets good at it so hopefully her promoters don't try to cash her out too soon.

MMA is on the downslide and boxing is making a resurgence, she need to bush the MMA idea altogether and just work her boxing deals right so she makes the money she deserves.

They can both co-exist

Why are people even considering Nunes?

 

[Master Teacher]

A striker.

She will lose if she faces someone skilled on the ground. She is years behind where she needs to be and her promoter set her up to lose with her first fight.

She just fought a BJJ expert and won lmao, what are you talking about, the person she fought isn't high level in MMA, but she was successful in the sport of BJJ so she was look Shields, an expert in one sport competing in MMA, and Shields won

She's an MMA fighter now, she finishes the fight on the ground with the ground and pound, she defended an arm bar, she defended herself off her back, she knows what she is doing

this ain't the old days when people would go in to the octagon with no experience in other disciplines but their main one, she trains at the same gym as Jon bones Jones, same team, she can take over MMA in a few years

 

[Master Teacher]

Why are people even considering Nunes?

Because they want to see her lose before she has the chance to get experience

people wish bad on black athletes when they start shining haven't you noticed this trend

when Errol was the underdog he was loved, when he start eating, he was hated, Tank eating, he's hated, any nikka shining is hated by these nikkaz
