It's becoming apparent as the fight goes on that Valerie is more of an instrument of her coaching team than a fighter, especially when compared to Joanna.

We just have to accept that women's MMA is still in its infancy, with Holly Holm playing the part of Art "One Glove" Jimmerson here shortly.

I don't think the infancy has anything to do with it. Women just don't have the athletic ability and explosion that men have.

I am seeing the skill in this fight, just not the physical ability men display.

Much respect to Letourneau for taking all of this punishment and still standing in the final round.

I have it at 2-2 going into this round. But I know nothing about MMA.

I think you nailed why this fight is terrible. It's a throwback to the era of pros vs joes, only the pro isn't pouncing. Imagine if Andrei let Eilers get to round 5.

You guys sound like you're saying the crowd should cheer simply because they are lucky enough to be watching human cockfighting.
 
Val mighta stole round 1, definitely took round 2, but round 2 took everything out of her, and Joanna just fucking wrecked her the remaining three rounds no question.
