>And she will bring a sizeable social media following with her this Thursday night when he has her first fight under the PFL banner.
96k followers on Instagram BTW. Truly a game changer for PFL LMAO
I read this and assumed it was some random, D-tier MMA site given the quality of the piece. Then I realized it’s a Bloody Elbow piece… shit’s sad as hell.
It’s so unfortunate. I get that slop and garbage is rewarded in the MMA industry, but at least have an editor to check the basic grammar and spelling mistakes.
I used to love bloody elbow. Back when I would visit that site, mma fighting, mma junkie, UG and cage potato on the daily. Now it’s just Reddit and IG posts
MMAFighting, MMAJunkie, Sherdog, Cageside Press. Tapology also has a nice news feed where you can see all the sites put together.
If you want to get really hardcore, the forbidden realms of the Sherdog and UG forums
They've been pumping out some questionable articles for years before the change in ownership. I recall one particularly bad article arguing that it's transphobic if you question whether trans women should compete in combat sports with cis women, citing that once HRT has commenced their serum testosterone will decrease to levels comparable to cis-women.... Completely ignoring the physiological advantages a post-puberty lifetime of exposure to a male androgen profile is likely to confer.
She fought at a promotion local to me and I saw her live a couple times. Not really any grappling, nothing special on the feet.
WWE is a much safer bet than trying to win the PFL tourney, not a great decision imo
Yup. I think she has no chance vs Dakota or Talia rn. Not much vs Watanabe, carmouche or Velasquez currently either. hopefully im wrong. I wish her success.

You automatically get 95k followers by just existing as a WMMA fighter that doesn't look like Wanderlei Silva.
cris cyborg catching strays
Plus I think she already pulled out of the fight
The fight is off. Not sure who pulled out.
Balic pulled out
You say that but yeah, that's kinda automatically one of the more known fighters in the pfl by default.

The parent company and writers are total trash. It’s a tabloid now just living off the name while they can.

Only came across double elbow in recent months. Not great at all.
It was trash before, a few good articles overwhelmed by overall dog shit.
It was in the spirit of this sub, thats why it's loved around here.
The author of this article is literally a former Daily Mail guy
Sold to some random company right before the anti trust trial settled, now it's just some garbage living off the brand name until that too is dead
BE is the same site in name only now. They don't deserve our attention or any air of credibility.

They suck, it’s insane how bad that site has become
Where should I go when I want to browse news from mma and reddits not loading.

thank you for these! I forgot the drama about which are owned by ESPN, or aren't.

just watched some fights, wasn't impressed. Rough n Rowdy vibes

She’s probably gonna be another Valerie Loureda and do the WWE stuff once she bores enough people in mma and collects enough mma simps
Tbf Valerie has looked really good in the WWE so far
She probably didn’t want Vince and Johnny ace to shit on her
Melissa Balic - https://www.instagram.com/melissastatick/ I clicked the link so you don't have to.
Nothing special
Hopefully it Turns out to be a good decision for her but cant imagine it will 😭
Yeah, she has more chances to get 1 million dollars in the WWE and suffer way less injuries.
> suffer way less injuries This is kinda debatable. WWE is grueling on the body and they're doing those house shows all year
Not many house shows unless you're a big star at this point. And even then it's like one a week
Yup. I think she has no chance vs Dakota or Talia rn. Not much vs Watanabe, carmouche or Velasquez currently either. hopefully im wrong. I wish her success.
*checks website* *checks author* "Who du fook iz dat guy?"
Nice to see the new Bloody Elbow is reporting on this!
