Guest Edwin Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted December 7, 2014 Author Share Posted December 7, 2014 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?

Hail Sabin Posted December 8, 2014 Share Posted December 8, 2014 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.

Zero Posted December 9, 2014 Share Posted December 9, 2014 I think It's pretty easy to guess whose in the finals, but yeah. This is a fun UFCvcta card. Looking foward to Tecia smashing the annoying chick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted December 10, 2014 Share Posted December 10, 2014 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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DreamBroken Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 Loved this season, looking forward to the finale.. awesome lineup. Tough to call, could see the main going either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hail Sabin Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 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) .

smitlick Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Only seen the first two eps of TUF so am a bit behind but Rose to me comes across the best so far. Hoping she wins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hail Sabin Posted December 13, 2014 Share Posted December 13, 2014 Can I get bonus points for hitting the Hill vs. Kagan fight right on the head? Yeah Magana seems like she is just a straight up bitch and tough to be around or work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
