If she can actually make 135 consistently and perform close to her best, this is a great addition to the bantamweight division which was looking kinda flat and boring after the Nunes retirement. If Nunes also comes back for a couple fights like she is hinting, there are some solid fights between Nunes, Harrison and Pena.

@donnydogpiss4533 3 ай бұрын

If Cyborg couldn't make 135, then Kayla - who's even bigger than Cyborg - is even less likely to be able realistically make the cut herself. Kayla's on record talking about how punishing and difficult it was for her to make like 140- 145 for her Invicta fight that one time. 135 might not be reasonably possible for her to make-certainly not in time for UFC 300.

I think the buzz for Kayla went away after her loss. Not to say she can't come back but it was a big hit .

@joseaguilar3323 3 ай бұрын

I wouldn't say it went away completely. It wasn't like with Ronda, she took the loss like a champ, rallied and wanted a rematch asap. What really hurt her was her doctor prohibiting her from joining the 145 tournament after PFL cut the 155 division. So she stopped fighting 4 times a year.

@unsub6737 3 ай бұрын

BC, Holly is a HOF, champ & legend but she's about a decade older than Kayla & almost a decade over LT's stat lol she's 42 & Kayla's 33. Holly lost the fight to mother time a long time ago, she's done. U just saw how Mayra performed over the weekend & that's the woman who beat Holly handily in her last fight. Let's call this what it is, padding Kayla's record with the older recognisable names before they retire. GDR (39) or Tate (37) are probably next, unless Kayla gets a title shot against Raquel or Pena, also part of the old guard. Damn! women's BW is old. Like the move though, welcome Kayla.

@coreycarver2577 3 ай бұрын

I guess we're using the term legend very loosely. She's 8-6 in the UFC (8-7 until her last fight was changed to a NC) with zero title defenses and a very unappealing fight style. Her fights outside of Ronda and Tate are extremely forgettable.

Can you imagine how shitty Raquel Pennington is feeling? Knowing that her first defense may be against Harrison, someone that will just destroy her on the ground. And Pena! She's probably feeling a little sick to her stomach. Even if she gets her shot at Rocky, she'll lose in her first defense.

@donnydogpiss4533 3 ай бұрын

No, I think Peña is _genuinely_ delusional enough to 100% believe that she would beat Kayla without much issue. Furthermore, I find it more than likely that Peña lacks the degree of objectivity (regarding the matchup and her own capabilities) that would be required to actually be afraid of or hesitant about facing Kayla in any meaningful capacity. _Profoundly stubborn fearlessness_ is one of Julianna defining characteristics as a fighter, which has also served as a double edged sword throughout her career.

BC needs to stop brown nosing Nunes. He tries to make out the divisions is in dire straights after she left, while ignoring the decline happened ONCE she became champ. The UFC saw no reason to invest in the class when they had an overly dominant champion fans didn’t care about (and the PPV numbers prove they didn’t). It’s no coincidence the UFC gave 135 a shot in the arm once she left. I’m skeptical of Kayla at 135, but if someone’s gonna bring the division back to its Ronda era heyday it’s Kayla.
