Comments Thread For: Habazin: Ali, Wolfe Would've Beat Shields' Ass; Braekhus Better

Yeah, but they offered her the biggest purse of her career and the fight in her own home town.

Holm didn't make real money in MMA until she actually won the title.

Yeah I had never heard that before either. What more did they want? Handicap of Braekhus having one hand tied behind her back or cement boots?

Honestly I think Holm would've taken the fight but her handlers knew she'd lose and they didn't want her taking an L on her way out the door with her burgeoning MMA career.

Wolfe was a bad *****.

That'd be the best guess. I'd say the vast majority of the time the fighters themselves - male or female - are pretty much up for testing themnselves against anyone, most fights don't happen cos the handlers ain't into to taking risks.

Yeah I can understand that I guess but it's pretty lame IMO. Especially considering she had the 2 losses already. The earliest looks like a massive upset to a journeywoman (is that a real term heh?) mostly due to a cut. I think myself and most boxing fans would see it as more honorable to go out fighting the best win or lose but I guess that's not as marketable to the more dare I say NASCAResque fans of UFC. Don't see why though as a lot of them dont have pretty undefeated records since they can't duck anyone.

Wolfe was a scary ass woman. She had that crazy look to her because she was crazy. Haven't seen her fights in years but I remember she fought with a certain violence to her.

The only other woman I recall with that level of punching power was Anne Sophie Mathis.

Knocked out Holly Holm, knocked out Myriam Lamare, knocked out Christina Hammer (even though the ref incorrectly called it a rabbit punch and DQ'd Mathis; they overturned it to a no decision after the fact).

Mathis got knocked out in her second pro fight but then won 25 in a row before her fights with Holm, Braekhus, Hammer, and Castillo at the end.

Clarissa Shields is one ugly MOFO

She ain't wrong.
