Comments Thread For: Claressa Shields To Make PFL Debut June 10 In Atlantic City

What kind of can they gonna put her in with? PFL? Never heard of hit, probably gonna pluck some chick off the street to hype her bogus mma run up.

PFL gots some talented cats. It IS a second tier league doe.

And yea they should get someone off the street for her first fight. MMA matches folks tougher than boxing does, but in your first fight if you are a promising person you are getting a light touch. Sh^t the UFC was signing some trash ass mofos for CM Punk & Greg Hardy. Brock Lesner had a bs fight in his first MMA fight. Pretty much every novelty guy except James Toney got a gimmie MMA fight.

She will be more successful there tbh.

I think so too. Sh^t I been saying that since before her pro debut. Folks just don't like seeing women box. Womens MMA gots legit fans doe.

Wow, is she ever delusional. She's saying she's accomplished more than any fighter ever has, male or female. She better get checked into a mental institution , and fast.

i'd honestly be more interested watching her in an MMA fight than a boxing match, just because of the curiosity to see how she does. She may well do okay at that level and possibly even at the fringes of UFC level because just like womens boxing the talent pool is ****ing trash. Someone like Nunes would go full bull dyke on her though and it would be hilarious.

Brock Lesner had a bs fight in his first MMA fight.

That was outside of the UFC though. The rest of his career he was thrown to the lions in a way that no other fighter has been ever, absolute sink or swim stuff. Its testament to how legit talented he was that he was able to go 4-3 in the UFC on that 2008-2011 run with that little experience and against that level of opposition. Being put in there with Reem, Cain, Carwin, Mir twice, Randy and Herring at that stage of your career is ****ing absolute insanity. They were trying to get him to fight JDS too in 2011 but it fell through.

Shields definitely does not want that Savannah Marshall smoke....

Big baller shot caller Claressa Shields making chess moves, Eddie the con artist needs to pay her 750k to fight Savannah Montana Marshall who has fought absolutely nobody & living off off of T-Rex's name, while Shields in the cage fight somebody Savannah.

Eddie isnt Shield's promoter though. And Shield's cant KO anyone. Her value is waaaaayyyyy below her own perception.

The fix is in . Her first opponent for her mma debut is going to be a bum with less experience and or talent than shields , guaranteeing her the win .
Her record will continue to be padded just like her boxing career . The difference is , it is much easier to get tagged or taken down in mma . She won't be able to stop her opponent if she gets rushed because her punching power is too weak to keep someone at bay .

Cringe. Definitely someone who is part of Shields' team

At least she'll be picking up KO's in MMA. Should make for good entertainment as she makes her way into the tough matchups.

Holly Holm had to win 7 fights for promotions like Fresquez Productions and Legacy FC before she made it to UFC.

Well done, exactly right
