| I am still missing Meisha in the top ten - she was very active early this year and she took Kaufman to the limit. What would it take for Meisha to be ranked? |

Beating someone as notable as the wins that Julie has.
Julie's been inconsistent over the past little while, but her victory over Kelly (not to mention the ones over Molly [2] and Jan [3]) counts for more than Miesha's win over Elaina alone.
If Miesha wins her fight in a few days and one more after that, then I'd say that she's worthy of being in there. Not yet. |

Its pretty simple.....beat someone in the Top-10. And that goes for fighters like Kaitlin, Debi, Molly, Alexis Davis, etc., they are all right there just on the outside of the Top-10 and if you want in, then you got to knock somebody out. (pun intented)  |

I agree I'm not in the top 10 yet although I think I have the ability to be, I'm a top 10 level fighter but I haven't earned it yet cuz I haven't beaten the top competitors but I'm working on it and I beat Jan Finney as well just to let you know, and I won my fight last night by headkick KO!! I'm becoming more well rounded and I have no doubt I will be in the top ten here very soon!! |

| Would like to see you fight opponents who have records closer to yours, as opposed to people like Sarah Oriza, who was 1-4 and on a four-fight losing streak when you fought her and hasn't won a bout since June 2006. |

| Of course Sarah Oriza is a step down from Sarah Kauffman. I am sure Miesha is taking whatever fights she can right now. If was offered a better opponent Miesha would've probably taken it. I feel Miesha does have what it takes to be a top 10 135er just needs get more of those fights against top 10's. |

| A fight with Kim Couture would've been the same thing. Carreiro was 3-4. Baptiste was making her debut. Jamie Lyn was 1-3. Elaina was 2-2. Finney was 3-5. Kaufman, Bednark and Young are awesome but she lost to two of them. And I'm not impressed with record-padding. |

Er, Miesha went up in weight to face Elaina and they had nearly identical records at the time.
Miesha also won a round against Sarah Kaufman, which is something that only one other person (Shayna Baszler) has managed to do. Not too shabby.
Anyways, the opponent that I have in mind for Miesha's next FCF title defence has a record that is very comparable to Miesha's and she's currently ranked in the top 10 in these 135-pound rankings. |

Oriza was 1-3 as far as I knew and she's 32-2 as a grappler and has been training more than twice as long as me pluse she is much bigger I fought at a catch weight of 140lbs and weighed in 2lbs under w/out cutting whereas she fights at 45-50 normally, also Like has already been mentioned I wend up 10lbs to fight Elaina who had two more fights then me at the time and was a 2x world champion kickboxer. And yes I would have fought somebody other than Oriza if given the chance but she desperatly wanted the fight, she was within driving distance since this was a small venue there was little budget for flying ppl in and mainly I'm signed with StrikeForce so I can't just fight anybody outside of their promotion, only opponents they approve and records don't mean everything, Jan Finney is super tough and are some of the other girls I've beaten, I also took the fight with Dora Baptiste at 145lbs I could go on and on but whatever |

| As I've mentioned before, I think fighters like Miesha, Kaitlin, Sarah, Alexis, Molly, Debi, AJ, etc all have the skills to be in the Top-10 and most are just 1 BIG win away from cracking into that group. (BIG win = someone in the Top-10) |

| Hard to break the top 10 when you can't get fights with the top 10, also I'm trying to stick to 125's so how do I get ranked there? |

Thank you for having your facts straight rather than making uneducated accusations |

Throw me some info on your fight from a few days ago and I'll make up a news post on it.
I don't care if it's a couple of days late because it'll still be like the only post about it on the Internet. I did a search yesterday and couldn't find any info on it at all aside from the big UG thread wishing you luck.
All I know is you beat Sarah Oriza by KO (Head Kick) at 0:10 of round two for CageSport MMA, but I know nothing else about the fight and a few added details would be helpful. That promotion needs to do a better job of "promoting" themselves! 
Edit: Found a site that had minimal information. Yay.
Related, both FighterGirls and Sherdog need to update your record. I got it covered on Wikipedia. |

Hi Molly - All you need to do to be ranked at 125 is have a couple fights at that weight and then beat someone in the Top-10.....like Sally Krumdiak or Sophie Bagherdai. |
