She has zero MMA experience, why would they match her against a top level MMA fighter in her debut?

They did with holly holm. I guess holly is the real GWOAT

Because shes an elite (well as "elite" as womens boxing can be) talent from another combat sport, not a total rookie, and also because she talks a ton of ****. For her to have to be eased in like this is ****ing pathetic.

This is her first MMA fight, they're not going to throw her into the deep end of the pool right away.

What's wrong with you?

Not to mention most of her opponent's defeats have been by submission.

This reminds me of when Jordan went to baseball and some people were like "why is he playing on some small league team, he should be starting with the White Sox"

Bad Jordan analogy.

First off boxing and mma are both combat sports.

Secondly since this Shield’s girl is a “expert” “gwoat” in boxing, which is a form of combat used in mma, why not throw her in there with the best right off the bat?

Lmao Holm fought someone who was 4-2 in her MMA debut and the girl retired after that fight. You guys forget Holm was a kickboxer before boxing so she already knew how to throw and check kicks.
