Welcome to Midnight Mania!
Oh boy, right here we go once more! Lower than a month after Curtis Blaydes fired pictures at feminine athletes like Paige VanZant for utilizing look to obtain promotional advantages, we have now an identical beef on our arms.
It’s unimaginable to observe MMA on Twitter or Instagram with out ultimately working throughout Bellator prospect Valerie Loureda (2-0). The 21-year-old Flyweight has attracted a reasonably substantial on-line following, and it might be dishonest to say that at the least a few of these followers are fascinated with greater than her Taekwondo skills. In any case, her bio describes her as a mannequin and actress in addition to fighter.
A good quantity of her content material is analogous in nature to the dance under:
For no matter motive, UFC Bantamweight and Final Fighter (TUF) champion Macy Chiasson (6-1) discovered this specific publish particularly egregious, and replied to sentence the message it despatched.
Lol I fucking can’t anymore.
Is that this the message we wish to proceed to convey to not solely our future leaders however to the disgusting already misogynistic dudes out right here.
Are we right here to struggle and be position fashions or are we right here for male followers and strip teases.#bringwmmaback https://t.co/vzPMYtZllI

This prompted a protracted debate between the 2 athletes. Loureda argues that she is selling herself in a male-dominated trade and insists there may be nothing unsuitable with being ‘extraordinarily female’ whereas concurrently being a cage fighter. Chiasson, nonetheless, believes that Loureda’s posts and ones prefer it damage the game’s picture and deny the seriousness of its feminine opponents.
Right here’s the complete alternate:
Lady by placing different girls down you’re contracting your self. Who mentioned I do something for my male followers ? I have been combating since I used to be 2 years outdated and identical to you’ve different pursuits like tattoos I like to bop. Lmao easy

I’m all for girls being robust and horny however this actually isn’t it. Youre in your mma gear at your health club Gloves, mouth piece and shin guards on. You’re portraying the unsuitable message to individuals who watch this sport. You’re portraying that that is what girls’s mma is about.
— Macy Chiasson (@macy_chiasson) Could 27, 2020
Nah it reveals you might be robust female and horny and nonetheless be a foul bitch in a male dominated trade. #info
— Valerie Loureda (@valerielouredaa) Could 27, 2020
However……are you tho? A few of us really care concerning the high quality of womens mma and ladies’s sports activities typically. You’re promoting intercourse not mma.
— Macy Chiasson (@macy_chiasson) Could 27, 2020
I’m promoting intercourse as a result of I used to be born with a special physique than you and im Hispanic ? LOL I struggle in a cage identical to you do, once I’m not in a cage I’m extraordinarily female and I used to be born like that. Cease hating lol
— Valerie Loureda (@valerielouredaa) Could 27, 2020
Sure. You struggle in a cage however not like I do and don’t discuss to me like I don’t know what femininity means.
— Macy Chiasson (@macy_chiasson) Could 27, 2020
Lady do you and cease harassing different girl who embrace their “femininity” interval
— Valerie Loureda (@valerielouredaa) Could 27, 2020
Primarily based on what you’ve mentioned. Your definition of embracing femininity may be very slender and that’s actually unhappy. Once more, you recognize nothing about my femininity. It’s actually unhappy.
— Macy Chiasson (@macy_chiasson) Could 27, 2020
Superior you present it in your methods I present it in mine. Good luck in your subsequent bout
— Valerie Loureda (@valerielouredaa) Could 27, 2020
Superior you too. possibly redirect a few of this power into coaching and possibly we’ll see you within the UFC quickly.
I’m simply talking for all the girls who really attempt to promote the game. I’m additionally talking for girls typically.
— Macy Chiasson (@macy_chiasson) Could 27, 2020
On a lighter be aware, UFC double-champ Amanda Nunes is a coaching accomplice and good friend of Loureda. “Lioness” herself has stripped down on Instagram prior to now too, however I don’t assume anybody of their proper thoughts would attempt to knock her skills or legitimacy as a fighter.
Loureda replied, “I find it irresistible.”
As with the Blaydes’ criticisms, I discover it tough to fault any fighter attempting to make an additional greenback in a profession that’s not often profitable in the long run. Plus, all Bellator occasions are at the moment postponed, so it’s not like Loureda could possibly be within the cage proper now anyway.
Insomnia
Weili Zhang vs. Rose Namajunas appears like a enjoyable struggle to me!
Spoke to UFC strawweight champion Zhang Weili earlier at the moment.
She doesn’t have her subsequent struggle but, but when it was as much as her she is aware of who she would decide:
Rose Namajunas.https://t.co/uG1Ho5dO6r

I’d fortunately pay to observe Dustin Poirier and Jorge Masvidal’s sparring classes.
Francis Ngannou stays an actual enigma. How a lot has he improved since his loss to Stipe Miocic, during which he was uncharacteristically aggressive? It’s unimaginable to say given how rapidly he destroys his opponents.
Typically, altering instructions/turning the nook with a double leg is rather more efficient than driving straight by way of the shot.
I like watching Colby Covington struggle (his chain wrestling is sensible!), however not even I can learn this with a straight face.
Anthony Rocco Martin is able to clear up the Neil Magny drawback subsequent week at UFC 250.
Slips, rips, and KO clips
The flattened out again mount place actually is MMA’s model of “Checkmate.”
… one other piece of proof under, however this time Korshuk confirmed off his grappling inexperience by failing to finish the sprawl after which giving up his neck simply.
Triangle choke > spastic flailing

That is the true Man Vs. Wild!
