Basically, the top 5 P4P women right now are Braekhus, Shields, Persoon, Serrano, and Taylor.
Braekhus has fought at 140 but has fought 30 straight at 147.
Taylor has won belts at 135 and 140.
Serrano has won belts in 7(!) divisions up to 140.
Shields has won belts at 168, 160, and now 154.
Braekhus is the only one close to the right size to fight Shields, but she's also close to the right size to fight Taylor and Serrano. And right now both Taylor and Serrano are with DAZN, so that's where Braekhus went. Persoon decided to go back to the Olympics so nobody is fighting her for a bit.
Braekhus is going to meet the winner of Taylor vs Serrano at a 144 pound catchweight, while Shields says she wants to keep her 160 pound belts.
Add to that the fact that Braekhus is pushing 40 and it's just hard to see when this fight could happen.
