Anything else I should keep an eye on besides Curtis Blaydes ? Definitely Barber vs. Aldrich because a win by Barber over another prospect allows the UFC to invest more into her. I would also say Formiga vs. Deiveson Figueiredo even though men's flyweight probably won't be around much longer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Randa Markos' UFC run: Loss, Win, Loss, Win, Loss, Win, Loss, Win, Loss, Draw, Win I'm noticing a pattern. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 My thing with Markos is her strategies are usually pretty bad. Against Angela Hill, for whatever reason, it looked like a complete 180. I dunno if their "grudge" had anything to do with it, but that's easily her best UFC performance. Looking at Twitter, it seems like she has been seeing a sports psychologist. Maybe it's that. Alexis Davis was not happy about that Maia decision. If Maia had some power, she would be someone to watch for. As is, she is pretty limited. Chito Vera is easily one of the most underrated UFC bantamweights. He gets all the guys he's suppose to get out of there out of there with authority. No fucking around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before picking the fight in the other thread I almost posted in here what was her last result for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 (edited) Aldrich made Barber look pretty unsure of herself in round 1, but then Barber found an opening and that was the beginning of the end. I expect Barber to be matched very carefully going forward. Edited March 24, 2019 by Elsalvajeloco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Formiga with a solid game plan there. Just when it looked like Figueiredo was getting comfortable on the feet, Formiga just level changed and took him town. Had no real defense for it. Great job controlling distance. Maybe not super exciting, but I love watching guys when with solid technique. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaedmc Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 If this were WCW Curtis Blaydes would be sent in to crush Pinedo and Makdessi, and he'd grab the mic to tell Justin Willis to get his ass out here now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted March 24, 2019 Author Share Posted March 24, 2019 Curtis Blaydes vs. Stipe would be a hell of a matchup IMO. Seeing as Curtis will probably want to be on 238 since he is from Chicago, that would be quite a Midwestern showdown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never been to a UFC show but I'd be fine if Blaydes/Stipe was my first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted March 24, 2019 Share Posted March 24, 2019 Holy shit was that a smart punch by Pettis. Thompson was staying outside of Pettis' punching range almost the entire night using his length and footwork to frustrate. Pettis almost looked to have used the rebound off the fence from a Thompson body kick to propel himself forward with the best long-range power punch, a superman, on a fucking counter before Wonderboy could reset the gap entirely. Thompson was looking outstanding up to that point but with that style all it takes is one clean hit. Fun fun fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed like the difference was Thompson pulled straight back and not to his right, and that right hook that he was throwing as Pettis came forward was just a reaction.
