Dana seems to have absolutely no interest in giving Carla a shot at this time. He didn't say it definitively, but with language like that you gotta think it implies no. I don't know what his problem is, in my opinion Carla is the only clear choice.

Says you can't wait around for title shots in the same breath of praising Colby who has sat out for the last year.

Not a Carla fan but she beat Rose last time and absolutely mauled a SW on a 6 fight win streak in her last outing. She definitely deserves it. Not like SW has a huge line of exciting contenders.

 

[rear naked ankle pick]

doesnt matter who Rose fights, it's not like Dana will watch the fight

 

[RemyR]

Dana’s got jokes

 

[MyMilk]

Yeah it’s pretty infuriating. Not only does she have a win over the champ, she’s been on a tear unlike no one else in the division.

 

[Adamant]

Indeed is bullshit.

 

[Benoitthegr8]

Uh Oh, anyone looking forward to the Zhang versus Rose threepeat...?

WME UFC has a history of the most mind bogglingly stupid TS matchups

She should be fighting for the title but her boring style and lack of charisma could do her in. Maybe they should give it to Marina. She's kind of like Leon Edwards

The ufc is in the entertainment business 100% and the sport legitimacy business 80%. Not really a huge surprise. People with charisma have a way easier path to the belt than those strictly going off talent.

Good …she’s the cure for insomnia

I guess. She’s on a 3 fight streak, but her last loss was to Esparza. It seems pretty clear that Esparza deserves the shot. I get that she’s boring AF, but that’s how it goes.

 

[Oliver Clothesoff]

Good. Fuck Carla. She's boring AF. Besides the Thug Rose she fought last time is not the Thug Rose of today. Rose would piece her up like a Reeses Peanut Butter Cup.

Aside from the fact that Esparza probably does deserve a shot....... I'd be FAR more interested in Marina Rodríguez being given a shot.

 

[markys00]

maybe rodriguez or her vs esparza winner? kinda silly, but hey, is it that crazy?

 

[Moscardino]

At this rate will do the Andrade trilogy, Andrade has a win and the rematch was a split call. There's been further reaches for trilogies. That or just get the Shevchenko superfight going

A PR agency should hire acting coaches and begin training athletes how to trash talk, create the right kind of controversies, and in general present themselves as weird, edgy, or crazy.

 

[Bmurray]

Not clear on the rankings but I imagine he wants to find some ridiculous way to shoehorn Dern into a title shot

 

[Pechan]

 

[IneedSometop]

Sucks for Carla if her fight with Yan Xiaonan went the other way Yan would have been fighting for the title

 

[Gigaton Punch]

If Xan beat Carla she could've sat out for 10 years to get the title shot.
We literally had Colby on this card fighting for the belt when he hadn't fought in 14 months but that was apparently just fine
