Sucks they couldn't get Hamderlei a winnable fight and they had to have her fight Jo Jo in her debut fight.

Tecia is going to wreck Magaña.

Looking at how they made some of these likely to be put on Fight Pass prelims, I am thinking a few of the losers may get a ticket to Invicta. The UFC still doesn't book a ton of female fights (probably because 135 is still pretty pedestrian outside a handful). They probably want to bolster the division, but most of the good fights can be easily made. So what's the point of keeping Angela Hill around just to be on the roster?

Let her fight on this show see what happens then you send her to Invicta depending on the outcome. Honestly she might be able to beat Kagan on the finale.  

Also the two women who lose in the semifinals will fight each other on the main card as well.

I wait for the bout order to be set before I add it.

 

I understand I just figured I would mention it since FS1 said it on this week's TUF talk.

I think It's pretty easy to guess who's in the finals, but yeah.

 

The poster placement kind of gives a bit of a hint as to the finalists, yeah. Randa and Jessica are so far back you can barely tell which ones they are.

When they were facing off at the end of the episode, Rose looked huge next to Carla. I think Namajunas might be a bit of a bad style match-up for Carla. Esparza was showing good in and out boxing against Penne, but Penne wasn't really using her reach advantage at all. Rose's striking has been maybe the sharpest on the show, but she's also been a demon with the submissions, even against good wrestlers. Carla's Defensive Boxing + Lay and Pray approach might just play paper to Rose's scissors.

whoa, had no idea Stephens/Oliveira and Noons/Cruickshank were on this card. this will be an excellent lead-in to the FOX card on Saturday.

Every comment that came to mind from looking at that picture would probably get me banned.

 

The MMAFighting.com picture for the main event looks like Dana White just wondered onto a beach to watch a fight between two drunk girls during Spring Break. Thus, it's pretty much the same as the one I posted except he's trying to break it up.

Hopefully Rose beats Carla because Rose is my favorite fighter of the season and Carla is my least favorite fighter of the season.

It would be nice if we get highlights of these fights on the prelims or the main card Aisling Daly (118)* vs. Alex Chambers (114.5) - Emily Kagan (116) vs. Angela Hill (115.5) .

Can I get bonus points for hitting the Hill vs. Kagan fight right on the head?

 

Since the picks for this year end next week...WHY THE HELL NOT? THREE BONUS POINTS

 

But yeah, Kagan ate all the knees and elbows.
