Great to see this enjoyable fight again offtopic:Ive never been a fan of using reach/wingspan measurements. As I think the real reach measurement should be from; the shoulder, to the fist that is outstretched infront of the face
I disagree about 1 arm from the shoulder... it would have to be from the spine to the middle knuckle, because it isn't just arm length that matters for reach.
Well, the range comes from the hip rotation, and a broader shoulder to shoulder width is a measure of how much leverage yuou can out into the punch as well
I really like Joe Martinez, the best ring announcer in the biz today! He does quick introductions then gets the Hell out of the ring! He doesn't ramble on like most of these guys do.
She'll be fighting at Invicta FC today at 145 so we'll see how that goes. Ideally she could be the one to bring life to that division, and maybe one day she could challenge Amanda. However, I'm getting WAY ahead of myself.
Not impressed with her not listening to her corner in the second round. She might just be scared to open her guard to a judoka but she was getting some serious ground impound
@@TheAudiophile81 Believe me Amanda is although a brilliant fighter but no match to the monstrous skills set of Kayla. Its the same as Conor is a brilliant fighter but he is no match to Khabib Nurmagomedov's skill set.
Now and Later Yeah and it was illegal that’s the only reason she managed to land it, Kayla didn’t expect her to throw and land an illegal kick that could have gotten her DQ’d.
I think she could absolutely beat cyborg.She’s super strong with good skills and is barley starting out in this sport. I don’t understand why the ref didn’t call Cotton out for those illegal kicks to the face...Not even a warning! There was more than one and they were obviously intentional.
Every once in a while a fighter comes along with little mma experience yet are such good athletes and competitors that they don’t need a ton of fights before they can hang with the top fighters of their weight class. She is absolutely someone that is able to beat a lot of top fighters with not much cage time.
Kayla is going to have to work on her striking. Josette was throwing decent hands from her back. Josette definitely had the better hands. Kayla is just too strong.... you could argue early stoppages but it was inevitable
That seemed like kind of a crappy stoppage to me. The fighter on top was missing half her strikes and the one on bottom was still trying to fight and could have gotten out of the position.
She laid there after the stoppage and was not even protesting the stoppage, she could have got really hurt but you can not even give her credit for clearly dominating the fight and winning. What fight were you watching.
As many times as she was hit she could suffer brain damage. One fall in skiing killed Natasha Richardson and she didn't realize how bad off she was and took to long to get to a hospital. Internal bleeding can kill.
Even though she was losing, she wasn't really hurt and was deflecting much of the punches away from her face. In stopping the fight this way, the referee shows a lack of professionalism.
Somebody is gonna quickly figure out that Kayla wins when she only takes down her opponent judo style. She struggles with boxing while on her feet. If someone is defensively taught well against take downs, Kayla’s winning days would be over. This reminds me of Rhonda Rousey takedowns and submit people is an arm bar. She was then defeated by a boxer (Holly Holmes) and another boxer (Amanda Nunes). Rhonda wasn’t able to do takedowns on those two because they were aware of them and were taught to defend against them.
Casey Yordy I agree because they were already on guard against that. They were really trained and taught to remain on their feet when fighting Rhonda Rousey or you lose.
Rousey didn't really need it. Her takedowns were fast and fluid and lead straight into her armbars. Aside from being judoka's they are totally different fighters. It's like comparing Ali to Roy Jones Jr because they were both in the Olympics.
@@grandfarter3855 did you see the last Ryan Hall fight? Also, look at champs like Randy Cotoure and Jake Shields. Also, look at 90% of Rousey's fights that ended early and in her favor. The proof is in the pudding, that and her and Harrison are in two completely different weight classes and MMA Math is foolish. Could've, would've, should've, whatever.
Kayla Harrison you probley don’t remember me we was on the same wrestling team at Middletown high school I just wanna tell you I’m proud of you keep up the hard work your strikes look amazing
@@samsienna3182 neither of them are great strikers if i had to say probably ronda. However they arent even in the same weight category so this discussion isnt rlly relevant
lets be honest... Harrison is VERY good but with that said she was fighting straight SCRUBBBBBSSSSS... UFC is gona be FARRRRR different... Now with that said i do think she can compete at the highest lvl in the UFC but its not gona be anywhere even close to being the cake walk shes been having... This is a whole different game in the UFC its gona be very interesting to see what she can do against the best in the world...
@@treroney4720 It might be. Someone had a theory that maybe the solution to a barren division that is Women's 145 is to up the weight class to 155 because most female athletes are around 155lbs.
Keenan "The Keeng👑" i’m not want to say no to divisions so I’d like to see it. Unless you start cross training at least motorsports know I just don’t see that at least I can get her a challenge.
Welp there's only 1 woman for the job here and it's a 145 in the UFC Amanda Nunes would knock her out now but if she gets more experience with the hands she'd have a shot in the future
Looks like Harrison is yet another take down artist. 15-0 is appreciably good but then has never fought someone who can take her down just as easily! Be interesting to see how good she performed against Nunes or Lee. Would make a good match. A record of 15-0 normally means that your opponents are of no great threat!
@@IAngelitoIi didn't watch the fight but stats are, total strikes 90-85 significant strikes 86-72 takedown attempts 2-0. This is the second fight. I love valentina dont get me wrong, but it looks like Amanda won
@@robertjackson9874 The stats don't tell the story of the fight. A "significant strike" can be counted for a grazing leg kick, and also for a clean superman punch to the face - one is clearly more impactful and effective striking yet the stats will reflect no difference between them.
@@jsims1617 Cotton was still dodging punches as she was holding Kayla. If it were truly over her arm wouldn't have still been outstretched to hold Kayla back. It would've been down and Kayla landing every punch.
155 pounds is not light. Has obesity epidemic cause people to forget what normal is. They are taller than average and not excessively thin so how is this a light weight division?
Cotton is a super tough woman. Harrison was just too big, too talented, too strong, too technical.
Too juiced!😒
Kayla's 1st Takedown looked scary, she just went in and lifted that women
4:05 that takedown reminds me of GSP, extremely well timed.
right on, khabib's takedown on connor was pretty similar too.
Adolf Stalin Nazim i dont remember khabib shooting like that. Khabib crashes on the ground and go for the foot
Darren The Terrified Gorilla Till Khabib shoots an extremely low single. Kayla is more like Dillashaw
Tre' Roney thats what i just said
Kevin The Hole Seeker Lee what takedown was that
Great to see this enjoyable fight again

Nice thought in theory. Stand in front of someone with that build who has movement and rotation and let us know.

I’m extremely impressed with Kayla’s striking!
I agree, however I do not like her jabbing with her fingers extended. eye poke jabs no beuno
I'm extremely unimpressed with Jozettes striking.
What striking! She is terrible on her feet! Just a ground and pound!
@@lenabradford1504 I was being kind.
The one fight Kayla was allowed to use her elbows she left her opponent looking like something from a horror movie! Keep elbows out of women's MMA
I'm really impressed with her striking. Alot of variety in her attacks, very composed.
eon001 So much better and more open minded then Rousey. The gold vs bronze mindset is very prevalent
@@treroney4720.....ronda won silver.... lol
@@ThePreachingOfHisWord no, she won bronze.

Explosive athlete -- A fighting machine, still far from the finished product.
kayala please come to UFC.

So proud! Kayla represents our town well
Really impressed with Jozettes toughness.
Not impressed with her not listening to her corner in the second round. She might just be scared to open her guard to a judoka but she was getting some serious ground impound
By the time kayla retires ... she will be the undisputed GOAT of women MMA.
I agree
You got Amanda Nunes and she got two belts already and its in UFC where the best are.
@@TheAudiophile81

@@TheAudiophile81 Nunes is amazing, she's not a two-time judo gold medalist though
@@TheAudiophile81 Not true. Not all the best fighters are in the UFC. That`s a myth. UFC has more marketing for their contracted fighters.
Kayla got hit with 1 good shot the whole fight the upkick, her takedowns looking great right after the Tournament she takes out Cyborg! 💯
Now and Later Yeah and it was illegal that’s the only reason she managed to land it, Kayla didn’t expect her to throw and land an illegal kick that could have gotten her DQ’d.

Yeh...she takes even better vitamins than that Brazilian freak.
If she gets cyborg down and she would easily she would dominate chris.
Are you tube aware that there are breaks between the rounds they can show their useless adverts rather than during the fighting
Terrible stoppage, but I do want to see more Kayla
Kayla is going to have to work on her striking. Josette was throwing decent hands from her back. Josette definitely had the better hands. Kayla is just too strong.... you could argue early stoppages but it was inevitable
Kayla, "GOLDEN GIRL" ... Harrison ... i pity anyone who fights her. She is not only the best but the most beautiful too.

No it is just you showing an amazing amount of denial.
Thank u
💯
The referee also did nothing about illegal kicks that the commentary team called out.
Yep, terrible stoppage. Kayla had barely even connected with those punches
Kayla es EXCELENTE luchadora, felicidades campeona💯💯💓💓
SO Glad Claressa Shields just signed with" PFL".This will be interesting💪😎.
Yeah but I think KH will be seeing nunes first
Kayla Harrison is a beast
Fantastic.
That double leg whoa
Who matched this fight?
Josette did awesome to have gone up against kayla and came out with only a bloody lip
didn't look too awesome

Elite takedowns with decent strikes is hard to counter.
Nope. Rhonda didn’t try to take either of them down. She was led to believe her striking was on par with the elite women strikers by her trainer
Casey Yordy I agree because they were already on guard against that. They were really trained and taught to remain on their feet when fighting Rhonda Rousey or you lose.
M.S. lol if you say so man. I guess the guys that fought Khabib just weren’t “really trained”
Casey Yordy I’m talking about women.
This ref witnessed 2 illegal upkicks connect and did NOTHING.
Harrison is the strongest woman I have ever seen, bravo👊👏
Is it me or do both of these girls look massive for lightweights?
155 and 156 is massive for light weight also they are both tall so not unusual to weigh that. Usually think of light weight as shorter thinner women.
155 should be light weight for man, not woman they are taller than average women and not skinny so they should not be considered light weight.
Kayla looked more natural in her striking after two fights than Ronda did after eight fights.
Rousey didn't really need it. Her takedowns were fast and fluid and lead straight into her armbars. Aside from being judoka's they are totally different fighters. It's like comparing Ali to Roy Jones Jr because they were both in the Olympics.

155 is light weight for a male not a female.
Kayla forced that woman down against the cage and beat her up.
Nice techniques body tackle double leg techniques
Kayla glad to see your mother made it to see you 😊, there is a God and you both are blessed, u look alot like your mom,a good thing 🙋
I want to see shields and Kayla ! Fight !
We all should.
Kayla would beat Shields badly. It would not be competitive.

I love Kayla
The ref stopped it too soon. I see this a lot in women's MMA.
That stoppage was Lowkey bs. Old girl was dodging and diverting most of those shots. Surprised her arm didn’t snap tho
I agree. She was dodging, do let it go on a before before you stop it. Cotton didn't look defeated yet.
you notice she didn't protest the stop? It was over!
@@randallporter6841 she was still in shock the stop was called

JUDO baby
God bless that double leg Takedown 🙌
cyborg is a free agent... she should find Kayla
I didn't know lori lightfoot was in pfl, just kidding
Why no elbows? Because those cause cuts/ lacerations?
Yup, some MMA companies don't allow elbows because of just that.
@@CavemanJesus4Life I think it;s a great decision.
It's a big limitation just to minimise damage.
Kaylas arms are massive 😍😍😍
Awesome
Cotton needs to loose those love handles.
Good ref, well done Kayla.
Kayla's a beast fucking up these girls
Jozette such terrible technique, so slow and pondering very little threat to a 2 time Olympic Gold monster.
But was on her back still dodging punches and atm outstretched holding Kayla back.
TERRIBLE stoppage. Josie was not hurt.
Is it possible Harisson and Rousey to have match
The grew up fighting eachother everyday
Nope, Ronda retired a long time ago.

This was Kayla's second fight so wouldn't she be counted as a scrub also?
I find it offensive that these organizations think that their viewers are too stupid to tell the difference between glove colors.
Kayla is very talented she’s an Olympic champion hard worker fast learner . She will be in the Ufc soon MMA will be a walk in the work for her .
Can she cut down to 145 though? Currently UFC has no 155 class for women.

Nunes is her teammate and is also in the UFC - Kayla's in PFL and unless something changes, she's going to remain there for a little while.
Hey once Harrison get you on the floor you can't get up she is very good on the floor
Jozette thought she was going to knock her out early..she should have trained more with wrestling, took her down like a sack of potatoes! Wtg KAYLA!!
Great job Kayla

No elbows? It’s not MMA without elbows.
Several MMA leagues have always banned or limited them due to them causing cuts and lacerations.
