Just a thought while reading rankings ,Top women’s class is 145lbs. In todays world with many women
as tall as men something must be done to increase weight classes. My daughter at 5ft 8 inches is a stick at 160lbs (meaning very thin) , When you ask these women to slim down to 145 for a fight there often left weak and are prone to injury.
Just my thoughts…….
Inactive and retired.
Where is Miku “Supernova” Matsumoto?
You are correct, it was her debut. I’ll add it in.
All six of Ashley Sanchez’s fights are listed both on her Sherdog page and in her fightergirls.com profile, so whatever she’s missing should be listed there. If it’s one of her first two fights I would guess it won’t affect her point total at all, but still.
There is no such thing as a record typo — it pulls from the database on update, so it’s likely we are missing a bout, etc.
Minor point but Ashley Sanchez is 4-2, as can be verified at Sherdog. I assume it’s a just typo from the circumstances.
Yes sir!
We were missing the Hampton fight. That was at 130, correct?
I am 4-1 though
Val Coolbaugh–loss
Karina Taylor–Win Un.Dec.
Angelica Brotherton–Win Split Dec.
Kyane Hampton–Win Armbar
Lacey Schuckman–Win RNC –110lb Title Fight–
I also fought on the Reality Show Ultimate Women Challenge.
Thanks.
