Kalindra Faria vs. Mara Romero Borella at 125 (Woman's Strawweight) added to main card in replace of PVZ vs. Eye...

Should be a barn burner!

Spoiler

I have no clue who they are

Fire Kid/Stamann was the perfect fight to kick off the main card with.

But of course, that would've made too much sense

Looking forward to the fight. I'd wanted Borella to get a fight or two more in Invicta but they need a decent opponent for Faria and they found one.

Mara Romero Borella 11-4-0, 1NC (Italy)

Kalindra Faria 18-5-1 (Brazil)

Both fighters have jumped around a bit in weight classes. Kalindra more so to get into the UFC as they didn't go with a flyweight division (her normal one). Kalindra tried strawweight and then bantamweight (winning the Titan FC 135Ibs championship). Borella started as a featherweight but cut down to bantamweight for competition, later to flyweight.

The fight we've all been waiting for.

They don't like to swap out the main prelim bout since all promotion is directed towards it.

But Vannata/Green, Leites/Tavares, or Brooks/Lentz would have been great too.

Main card ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

This... is the moment... UFC fans around the world have been waiting for

Should be a good fight.

There's only one Romero that deserves UFC main card slots.

 

[Fahcough]

lol this is why PPVs aren't bought

I'd have rather seen Leities/Tavares on the main card, but it'll still be a fun fight imo.

Will the UFC ever listen to the fans? Like seriously

No one wants or asked for this SHITE

They could've moved that up to fs1 prelims & bump Lando/Green to the main card. Even Bibulatov/Moraga will probably be better than an avg Wmma fight.

Seems like WME is bent on having women on every single main card, regardless of how unranked they are.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Why are two debuting women on the PPV main card while there are so many better, more established fighters on the prelims?!

Damn you, WME!!

 

[Erocthadon]

Super stoked for that fight
