What reason is there to not like bethe?

Looks like Woodley will be on the big July card as well. So D.C. Jones 2
Woodley co main he's looking for Conor, Nick, Nate, GSP or Bisping.

UFC still pushing Holly as a main eventer so she can shadow kickbox for 25 minutes is absurd, she's had one good fight and that's because Ronda kept running into her punches. And lmao at Bethe in a main event, UFC looking real sorry these days.

Holly is still one of the most popular female fighters and that contract she signed after she beat Ronda made her one of the highest paid. They can't just throw her on any card

She sucks as a fighter? Is Brazilian and can't gyrate for shyt? Won't fix her broken nose? Makes straight men think of sinful thoughts when they look at her azz? Disrespected the Belize bruiser? Talked all that shyt and did not show up against Ronda. Is now Ronda's number 1 cheerleader

shes an ok fighter for the division shes in. Alotta the hate she gets kinda comes off as blind ridicolous hate, because mma fans can be petty and ridicolous at times. They look for reasons to hate on fighters

On the real I think the hate comes from hurt fans that are disappointed that she's just not as good as advertised. When she was running through the 4 horsewomen the hype was so much that ppl were contemplating she fight cyborg. Look at her now? The way she lost to Ronda was just embarrassingly bad.

What reason is there to not like bethe?

She got massively overhyped for running through weak opposition. Against the mid-tier she's looked average and against Ronda she got KO'ed standing and throwing hands which is supposed to be her strength. But my real issue with her comes down to her comments about Ronda and suicide. Ronda just dropped a book that covered the impact of her father's suicide on her life and psyche, so Bethe comes out and says "I hope she doesn't commit suicide when I beat her" which is some ish I just don't agree with. I've never liked Ronda but Bethe made me root for her that one time. Ever since the fact that Bethe is so cocky while barely scraping by wins against middling fighters just rubs me the wrong way.

Even Dana shytted on Weidman, thought that was his boy.

 

[storyteller]

Fam...I just realized Tim Elliot and Louis Smolka fight this weekend, that's gonna be amazing. Green vs Magomedev could be good too but Green's been slipping.

She's on a card that will air at 9am in the US, they actually did stick her on any card. Don't know how high her popularity is after how sorry she's looked in her last couple of fights, but she has no business being in a 5 rounder at this point.
