I would have thought they do Olga vs Budd, after that girl handled Cindy. But they booked her for that Sinead in Ireland instead. So who know maybe after that it happens, maybe they bring in Leslie Smith or Pam Sorenson, Budd vs blencowe 3.

Leslie does not seem to have many takers for her services these days. Pam is out of commission for a long time due to having a humongous tumor removed from her Belly. If you are curious you need to check how big it was. I was astonished when she posted the picture of it.

The problem with this fight is that it is hard to look good against Maryna. I don't think think I have enjoyed or seen anyone look good against her since her title eliminator vs Valerie. I just reminded myself just how far 115 has come after remembering that Valerie vs Maryna was a damn title eliminator.

The downside to Pam Sorenson having her growth was the loss of a ovary & fallopian tube
which means she may not be able to have kids unless she uses a surrogate.
 
Heck yeah for Kowalkiewicz vs. Waterson, Grasso vs. the newcomer Rodriguez should be interesting too - the heck, Alexa's been inactive for nearly a full year when this fight happens... the Suarez fight was in May 18. That's way too long sans-Grasso. Cejudo kept her busy? :D Moroz has been bleh for quite some time now, but again, as Mazo's debuting there's that additonal interest. And the MMMA main event should be loads of fun, cool card. :)
 
I've seen people saying Michelle Waterson only fought Atomweight 4 times, only counting her 4 fights in Invicta.

I've done some research and the number is actually at least 8 times. That is, HALF of her 16 fights before being forced back to 115 to get in the UFC.

My main source for this is Tapology, as sources like Sherdog and Wiki really don't have much for weight classes individual fights were at.

The 105lb fights were: Diana Rael, Masoko Yoshida, Rosary Califano and Carina Taylor. She also had a catchweight short notice fight at 108 against Elena Reid. Her only losses below 115 were short notice fights. (Reid and Tiburcio)

So:
2007-2008 (2 years) at 115
2009-2014 (6 years) at 105
...then the UFC at 115...so far.

Video of her weigh in against Califano. Kind of a cool behind the scenes series from back in the "mostly Indian casino" days of WMMA.

Interesting video, though the background "music" made me want very badly to mute it. I doubt Waterson could make 105 so easily anymore, though.
 
A couple of familiar faces:


Neil is coming off two wins, and is looking to finally have a winning record for the first time in her career. Sinn is coming off back to back losses in mma, but interesting to note: her last mma fight was the finals of the single night SCL Queen of Sparta tournament, where she had to win both a boxing and kickboxing bout before making to the mma finals.
 
Has anyone heard or seen anything about bookings for Women's Bantamweight at UFC
beyond the 2 fights at UFC 235 and a single booking at the fight night event a week later.
The reason I ask is Strawweight & Flyweight are getting lots of bookings while Bantamweight
is getting nothing.

People whine a lot about 145, but it's hard to book 135 fights, when there's 10 active bantamweights max. Both division combined probably doesn't have 15 active fighters...it's hard to book fights when you can't find fighters to fight. Amanda GOAT.

To book 3 fights you mentioned they used 60% of active fighters...

Those 6 fighters plus injuries and fighters moving to other division means not much else is left.
McMann - Preg
Irene - Injured
Bethe - Injured
Lucie - Moving to 125
Cat - Moved to 145
Ketlen - Last I heard was injured

That is pretty much most of the active roster. 135 is in pretty bad shape right now. Amanda Nunes is the GOAT but she pretty much killed the division for the foreseeable future when she took out the big names.
