If i had to pick one, it would be JoJo for me, just something about her striking that gives me a boner, and i think she can stuff Carla takedowns, outstrike Tecia in a very good fight, and tko every other chick in the house.

I would be surprised if she isnt at least in the title fight for the belt.

These are the girls that I think have a shot at winning the show. In this order...

1) Carla Esparza
2) Tecia Torres
3) Joanne Calderwood
4) Jessica Penne
5) Justine Kish
6) Rose Namajunas

Rousey wasnt a paper champion, she took the SF belt from Tate then defended it. Once they brought fighters over, and got rid of SF, they just changed it to the UFC belt. Like how they did with WEC with Aldo, and Cruz's belts.....

"Heart and 99%belief says Jo Jo. Head says Penne. Gut says Torres."


Can not say it any better. Torres is just such a beast and has a crazy pace, JoJo has the best striking on the show and is all around a great character and Penne has the wrestling to get it done. 

Paper champion refers to a champion that did not beat the previous title holder (due to retirement or injury or what ever). Renan Barao is the only one that comes to mind recently (not that he was bad or didn't deserve it, just going by definition). That is how I always thought of it. It could also refer to the old "Paper tiger" saying, meaning a guy that looks tough but really isn't. Forrest Griffin comes to mind. Sure he beat Rampage but he was not close to being the best LHW at the time and arguably lost every fight he was in after that including two to Tito Ortiz lol.
