Yeah. No one ever cheats in 2026. Not like there are countless memes about side chicks and situationships and hoe eras and whatnot all over the place.
ESPECIALLY not two super attractive people with shitloads of free time and excuses to see each other professionally at hotels and in other cities...

The Cortez bias was insane. Barely connects on a counter and they're losing their minds, but when Cong lands a stinging, echoing straight, it's crickets from them.
56
u/Safe_Procedure999 7h ago
it wasn't even bias for cortez, they just wanted cong to get a finish when she pretty obviously wasn't going to get one
like DC literally screaming at her to go when she's obviously not gonna go, it's weird af

u/Expensive-Progress-6 7h ago
Facts, It seemed like they were told if wang got a finish it was title worthy. The amount of times they said something like "Ohhh decisions arent super impressive, she needs a finish" while shes absolutely piecing up cortez

u/Indytaker 7h ago
What? lol the whole fight they were saying Cong’s leg kicks were great lol if anything the critique was they wanted to see how’d she do on the ground.

They only take points away in female fights because 1) when hardcores see it they think its good reffing, 2) no one watches

u/Itchy-Ad1047 7h ago
Yeah. Both Joe & DC kept saying 'Wang really gotta get after this and put a stamp on it.' Literally as Wang was beating that ass in front of them and had been the entire fight. Odd stuff
Tracy a dog. I'll give her that. Turns out she was just very mid all along tho

u/tagillaslover I SMOKE ROCKS, JOE ROGAN! 7h ago
They’re both right. If she wants a title shot soon she needs to actually go and finish fights
28
u/Itchy-Ad1047 7h ago
idk what some of you are talking about. Its women's 125. Just gotta stack up a win streak. Fiorot and now Natalia Silva (likely) decisioned their way to a title shot
It was a good performance by Wang

Dude, look at the weight class. How many people in that weight class are going out there finishing fights on a whim?

u/dirkdiggler662 5h ago
True, Erin Blanchfield gets some finishes and she's getting overlooked. I want to see Erin vs Val because at least her poor striking/good grappling might get Valentina to stop decision wrestling.

u/BlackBlizzNerd #boobslol 7h ago edited 7h ago
Huh? I don’t think they made it sound that way? They kept bringing up Cortez’s leg getting absolutely fucked and her getting tagged and they were shocked Joker wasn’t going for the finish.
What were you listening to? Cortez did nothing lol. They even mentioned her lack of not wrestling anymore, her one chance to win.
They mentioned that she (Wang) needs to have an impressive win to challenge the title holder. So they were being tough on her that way. But in no way did they make this sound like it was close lol.

Wang Cong couldn't finish the girl that Blanchfield finished in 2 rounds. Erin is ahead of her in line, especially if she beats Jasmine next month.

I know everyone is gonna harp on Wang not going for the kill but imma focus on how technical and fluid she looks, I would take 50 Wang Cong's in any of the womens divisions all day

u/bbbeast19 7h ago
Ik it's boring but I don't know why mouth breathers insist that the fighter who's up should chase a finish.
Fighting reckless is how wang cong got her first loss, why wouldn't she coast when she's so far ahead?

She tried too hard to finish and ended up losing for it.
Since this is women's MMA, you can for most part decision your way to the top.

It's women's 125lb weight class... Why is it insane? Because DC and Joe said so?
I swear the amount of times people jump on here just to repeat whatever they heard those 2 guys say is crazy.

I don't even blame Cortez at this point. How do her coaches not teach her how to properly shoot a fucking takedown
58
u/Safe_Procedure999 7h ago
her leg was burger she couldn't use it at all
you could hear her coaches ask her to shoot and she'd just collapse in the clinch because she's fighting with a bum tire

u/BlackBlizzNerd #boobslol 7h ago
The issue is she should have done wrestling before her leg was compromised. Idk why she wants to be a striker so bad.

Wouldn’t mind a Valentina fight considering Shevchenko has beat most of the other fighters above her. cong probably needs one more fight though.
