Well since I wrote up who I thought was the toughest morning news reporter/anchor, I thought I should do the evening news too.  It took a while since it was really hard to tell who the best was. But I did my research, and tried to come up with the best possible results.

 

As before I wrote the ranking, the fighter, their strengths and at times their weaknesses. I also wrote what fighting style they would use due to their strengths and weaknesses. I also compare them to real fighters to give you an idea of what they would fight like in real life. Let me know what you all think.

 

1) (Champion) Christina Gonzalez: she's experienced, dangerous elbows, a long reach advantage and ruthless aggression. She fast with her hands and feet.

 

fighting style: muay boran (emphasizes the use of extremely powerful elbow and knee techniques, and combinations thereof, always thrown at full force and speed. its style is quite efficient, in that it maximizes the amount of damage that each blow can inflict, and effective, in that it can easily lead to the death or serious injury of the opponent.), capoeira (a fluid acrobatic play, feints, subterfuge, and extensive use of groundwork, as well as sweeps, kicks, and headbutts)

 

Fighter style: wanderlei silva

 

 

 

2) Christy Fajardo: she's stronger then appears heavy hands, strong in the clinch, but she lacks range due to her short limbs.

 

Fighting style: muay boran, Brazilian jiu-jitsu (grappling and especially ground fighting with the goal of gaining a dominant position and using joint locks and chokeholds to force an opponent to submit), 

 

Fighting style: matt Serra

 

 

 

3) Suzanne Marques: she's a rookie, so her lack of knowledge is what keeps her from being the best. But for a rookie she's amazing and only getting better. She has great spunk, good conditioning, and good all around on the ground game and standing.

 

Fighting style: kampfringen (a germen fighting style that employed all ranges of fighting, from striking to ground-fighting, and included joint-locks, leverage throws, pain compliance grips, and various striking techniques)

 

Fighter style: Quinton "rampage" Jackson

 

 

 

4) Christine Devine: she has an iron will, great strategist, good all around, good reach and very experienced. Her only weakness is the ability to pull the trigger when it comes to ending a fight which will cost her the match.

 

Fighting style: shoot boxing (a style that uses kicking, punching, throwing, and standing submission), Aikido (emphasizes joining with an attack and redirecting the attacker's energy, as opposed to meeting force with force, and consists primarily of body throws and joint locking techniques)

 

Fighter style: Pedro Rizzo

 

 

 

5) Maria Quiban: Due to her lack of strengths, she makes it up with her tricky foot work and her sneaky takedown technique. She’s fast and agile, and always on her toes and one step ahead of her opponent.

 

Fighting style: hapkido (it's a effective self defense form that employs joint locks, pressure points, throws, kicks, and other strikes)

 

Fighter style: B.J. penn

 

 

 

6) Susan Hirasuna: She's strong, experienced, great grappler, but she lacks reach. She pressures her opponents into submissions with her strength.

 

Fighting style: Haak Lung Chuan-Fa (a fighting style that is centered around practical close-quarters combat. Haak Lung is a organic and ever-changing system, with large influences from Muay Thai, various Kung-Fu styles, and Karate to name only a few), American Kenpo (the use of quick moves in rapid-fire succession intended to overwhelm an opponent)

 

Fighter style: Frank Mir/ Jeff Monson

 

 

 

7) Liz Habib: like Christine Devine, she's good all around, but with more leg strength. She lacks the experience but makes up for a good solid defense and aggression.

 

Fighting style: jeet kune do (a style that focuses on the 4 ranges of combat which are punching, kicking, trapping and grappling.)

 

Fighter style: Georges St. Pierre

 

8) Gigi Graciette: she's a good all around fighter. She’s especially good giving cheap shots to daze an opponent then to take them down and submit them before they even know what happened.

 

Fighting style: shoot fighter (incorporates techniques from a multitude of traditional martial arts, the most principle of these being muay Thai and catch wrestling)

 

Fighter style: ken shamrock

 

 

 

9) Gina Garcia: One of the fastest strikers. Her fast combinations and long limbs will keep her opponents at bay. She’s also hard to submit due to her flexibility. Her only flaws are her lack of strength behind her strikes, and lack of skills on the mat.

 

Fighting style: savate (a French martial art which uses both the hands and feet as weapons and combines elements of western boxing with graceful kicking techniques. Only foot kicks are allowed).   Boxing and zhuan shu kuan (Training is mainly concerned with punching and kicking techniques, but also includes some joint locks and throws.  Ground fighting is rarely taught.)

 

Fighter style: Yves Edwards

 

 

 

10) Jane Yamamoto: her elbows and knees are what should be feared. Her closes to mid-range attacks are vicious. Her experience also will allow her to be able to infiltrate the best defense. Her flaws are lack of weight, and knock out power.

 

Fighting style: kyukido (a Korean art that is a mix of taekwondo, judo, jujitsu, hapkido, and kobudo)

 

Fighter style: Anderson Silva
