Pegson123,
I 100% agree with you. In my opinion, there was no reason for Kaufmann vs Davis 3. I have mentioned that I appreciate that both fighters need to "eat" but there are 25+(I think) female BW's on the UFC roster, enough for a WMMA fight on every UFC card and for them to not fight each other again
I won't complain about a fight booked.
You would think ufc would be booking more female bantamweight fights to create my names for Rousey to cash in on while she is still fighting b
Pegson123,
I say this with respect, I don't think the UFC know what to do with the womens divisions. I think they need to hire a matchmaker, probably a female fighter who has been around, knows the fighters and will be dedicated to developing the divisions. I personally think either Miesha or Shayna would be good for that role.
Good idea. I think Shayna gets too personally invested to be a match maker though. Julie Kedzie would be my choice

Dreville79,
Julie Kedzie is currently the matchmaker for Invicta and I agree, if she wasnt, she would be my first choice for UFC WMMA matcmaker. In my opinion, other names if they were at the tail end of their careers, Roxanne Moderferri and Marloes Coenen.

The Mortician,
Joe Silva may not be a fighter but his training in MMA and knowledge & passion for the sport are more than likely the reasons why he is a matchmaker. If you read my post above I somewhat gave an indicaton as to what some requirements may be be for that role. I think the most important being someone who has actually fought or has a really good knowledge of the sport, whats to help WMMA grow, is respected by their peers and has been around long enough to know everyone while still plugged in to the current affairs of WMMA.
Do you have other suggestions?

Shogun of Harlem - Sunkist,
Hello, with all due respect, if Cyborg is the best WMMA fighter in the world (according to you) why did she take an anabolic steroid?
Hello,
sunkist will tell you Cyborg only took steroids one time by accident because one of her trainers slipped it in her drink without her knowing. So technically and respectfully, she did not take steroids.
Claire Haigh is another woman mma fighter who deserves a chance at a major promotion, her fights in Martial Combat and her win against Angie Parr were FOTN performances. She essentially stopped mma competing because of lack of opportunity in Luxembourg

Ray,
Have you thought about managing fighters or consulting? Is Invicta an option? Is Claire on social media?
Claire Haigh 3-0 I assume she is in the 135lb class

Claire is 135, her fight vs Elieen Forrest shows great use of standing elbows in mma, prolly the best example in WMMA.
I've reached out to Invicta about Claire, but not much response.
Managing fighters is more headache than it's worth, lol.
^^^was ranked #1 in the world for Muay Thai 2 straight years, went up a weight class to challenge Miriam nakamoto for her wbc belt, prolly around a 30-4 record pro Muay Thai fights and undefeated in mma, it's a tough business to make a living in^^^

Swap Cyborg with Anderson Silva and ask yourself the same question dummy.

Matchmaking isn't hard, these girls all have intelligence, have all fought, and all know the women fighting. Pretty much all it takes, it ain't rocket science
