Best of luck, represent the sport of Pugilism well in MMA

Wish her best of luck. Going to be tough shes?coming from boxing no kickboxing or grappling background. Title winning mmmm good goals but shes not beating harrison under mma rules . personally if i was in clarissa corner id tell her focus mma or boxing for your boxing career is going to hold back mma progress & vice verse. Only combats i see you can be a double champion same time is kickboxing & boxing or kickboxing & mma also grappling champ and mma.

Won’t take long for her to get a blue belt in BJJ, learn some judo balance and grappling, learn some take down defence, sprawls, and single/double leg shoots, and round kicks/defence. She will no doubt have the best training. She’ll beat most of the females by knockout and sheer strength....Shields is a physical specimen

If she fights Nunes that'll be a must see scrap.

I don't know if she should do it.

Male MMA fighters get paid like female boxers, so don’t see much point in Claressa switching over from a financial standpoint. Is the risk worth the reward?

[Coachcody]

Hope she's been training for a couple of years in mma already....the ground game is a whole different ballgame.

for the UFC to not land Claressa Shields

You only get blue belt in bjj quickly if you're with a bad instructor.

She's wise not to go to the ufc so quickly. As poor as women's mma can be there are lots of ladies who could take her down and keep her there for a a full 15 mins.
