TUF 17 Finale

[SPX]

I read the play by play with kedzie and she almost lost. Its hard to gauge these fighters because i know so little about them all. Zingano was supposedly a very high level wrestler. A higher level wrstler than tate. I just wonder if tates overall experience will trump the wrstling. I have a feeling zingano will be a dog as well.

If you haven't seen the Tate/Kedzie fight, then you should watch it. It's a great fight. Here you go:

As for Cat's wrestling, like you say, from what I've read it should be on pair with Tate's. And I also agree that she'll probably be a dog, though it seems a lot of people are kind of high on her so I'm not sure how much of one.

Its tough to figure out whose wrestling will translate better. Tate has more experience so it might be her.

[edman5555]

Zingano looks like she is stronger though.

You should watch some vids. . .

Damn, Brown's higher than I'd like and I'm surprised to see Cat as the fave.

Well actually zingano might not be a higher level wrestler but at least on par.

Just FYI. Girl wrestling is a joke. An olympic girl wrestler is like an average varsity wrestler on a HS boys team, if that. Don't put too much stock in that.

[edman5555]

Wow? Really? Okay. I am still having a hard time figuring this one out. Maybe I should watch some tape on Tate.

I saw this posted on Sherdog. I don't know how accurate it is but assuming its perfect what are your thoughts and opinions scientist? Specifically on the grappling accomplishments.

Compare it to Tate winning the Fila world grappling championships silver medal in 2008.
