Report This Post

well i asked this question to rick dickert and nischelle. who would win in a cage fight? lisa b. or dorthey. so after they told me who they thought would win, i thought about who is the toughest girl in the morning news program. this is what i came up with.

Well here is my ranking of the female fighters at the fox 11 morning news. #1 ranking would make that person the champion. I’ll write what fighting style I think each person would use due to their strengths and weaknesses in their conditioning and what real fighter I would compare them too in style and weaknesses.

1. Elizabeth Espinosa: wrestling fighting style. (Freakish strenght, knock out power with her fists, great ground and pound, and a great grappler) fighter she resembles is Fedor Emelianenko

2. Jillian Reynolds: muay Thai kick boxer (long reach advantage, knock out power with her kicks and punches, decent ground game) fighter she resembles Andrei Arlovski/tito ortiz/chuck liddel.

3. Jean martirez: fighting style is boxing, wretling/and judo. (Strong will, intense fighter, good all around w/ striking, take downs, ground and pound and submissions. her only weakness is lack of reach, and size.) fighter she resembles is Randy Couture

4. nischelle turner: fighting style is Taekwondo and kick boxing (fast striker, dangerous elbows, good conditioning, great in ground n pound, good in judo. only weakness is lacks knock out power, lack of size and a weak chin.) fighter she resembles is David Loiseau

5. Karen posada/Dorothy lucey: Karen is a boxer, Dorothy is a kick boxer (both are great strikers, but are weak on their ground game. Karen strength is in her punches while Dorothy is in her kicks. both have good reach, and average build.) The fighter that resembles Karen is Phil Baroni. Dorothy resembles Mirko Cro Cop

 

 

Gina Silva: fighting style is jiu jitsu and a shoot fighter (great jiu jitsu, great wrestling, and weak stand up) Gina resembles Royce Gracie/ ken shamrock

7. Lauren Sanchez: fighting style is sambo and karate (good all around, but unable to out best an expert.)Lauren resembles Evan Tanner

8. Lisa breckenridge: fighting style is kickboxing (fast striker, good conditioning. dangerous knees and good on there ground. lacks strength, size. the fighter that resembles Lisa is Nick Diaz

tell me who you think is the toughest and why.

A hilarious post. So are you saying that Elizabeth is the toughest of the bunch?

And where is Amy Murphy here? She's on the morning show occasionally.

yup that's what i'm pretty much saying. elizabeth was thrilled to hear the news. but she claims she's a lover and not a fighter. nischelle was wondering why she came in 4th place, and that she's gonna have to bust some heads to move up to the top. i didnt count amy murphy because i never have seen her in the morning and i'm not that familar with her. but i think she would be in a tie with 6th place. she's not big in size, from what i can tell her arms arent that built so i dont think she would be a heavy hitter. she's pretty much as par as gina silva.

yeah i know jean would take a few shortcuts in the fight, but that's why she ranked so high. she would do anything to win.

Jean...
You are hilarious! You filipina fighter...

Ddain...
You are such an instigator, but ya know I still got love for ya!

Samo...
I should add, you have a very good eye for these things...(wink, wink)
I think Gracie is awesome and have followed him since he started. I never got a chance to spar with him, but I did start training in martial arts as a kid.
Wait, what about you??? Which style do you prefer?? ya know I have been itching to try out Krav Maga...have you heard/seen?

Well I think the Gracie family is a tough clan of fighters. They did allot for the sport, and have changed the views of many on how size isn't as important as skill is.

As for me, since I’m short and stocky, wrestling is the best choice due to my size. So I would want to train in sambo, mostly because my favorite fighter, Andrei Arlovski is a former sambo champion. Sambo is one of the four main forms of amateur competitive wrestling practiced internationally. It is a modern martial art, combat sport and self-defense system developed in the former Soviet Union. But I love striking, mostly kicks and knees so Muay Thai would be something I would like to learn as well to make me a more well rounded fighter.

I haven't seen any fighters train in krav, but I think it's because it would break many rules set in the mma world. In Krav Maga all the techniques focus on maximum efficiency in real-life conditions. The attacks and defenses are intended to inflict the most pain possible on the opponent in the least amount of time. Groin strikes, head butts, and other efficient and potentially brutal attacks are emphasized. But it would be a sweet style to learn about.

Samo,
Number 6?????
Come on, Obviously you've underestimated my MMA skills. I'm more like Dan Henderson.
Elizabeth, I'll be waiting for you in the parking lot.
i'm going for the title.

Geez Samo, you got all of these ladies vying for your attention.

Great post.

i didn't think i would get so much attention from all the fox personnel. i didn't really expect anyone to blog in on this topic. i'm shocked, but it totally made my day.

sorry gina, i just didnt think you had the killer instint in you. i think your the type that would get a person rocked, but wouldn't go in for the kill which would cost you the match. your attitude is very mellow and easy going. so that's why you placed 6th in my mind. but prove me wrong and take the title.

this is the 2nd girl that wants a piece of liz. nischelle is also gunning for her too.

I took the liberty of emailing all of the ladies you mentioned on your blog the link. I thought it was a funny idea and that they would want to weigh in.

In the short amount of time I've gotten to know Jean, I'd agree that she WOULD fight dirty. She's a tough one.

Elizabeth seems to have some street smarts to her so she might be in the dirty category as well. I'd pay a few bucks to see that cat fight!

But maybe there's something to what she said. Lying in the weeds, waiting to strike. Perhaps the outer persona hides something underneath...hmmm...

maybe she just have bottle up all of this rage inside her and once she gets her chance, she'll explode on her opponent. she will come down on them like a ton of bricks.

question is, who does she want to take it out on????

Apr 5, 2007 | 4:45 PM

That is a tough one...I guess whomever is in her way.

You ever watch the evening news? If so, how do you rate them?
