UFC on ESPN 24:
Rodriguez vs. Waterson: Rodriguez via beatdown, TKO R4
Ribas vs. Hill: Ribas by decision if she remembers she is a better grappler.

Yep agreed, SA 2 NA 0, maybe Ribas can submit Angie though.

Amanda Ribas fight week.

 

[leto1776]

LUX 013 went down last night in Mexico (and available on Fight Pass). The strawweight tournament has a final, and they started the quarterfinals of a flyweight tournament.

 

[Tokoloko]

OKTAGON 23

Wozniak vs Rodrigues


Bleda vs Martins



Wozniak vs Rodrigues should be live on youtube....but there is possibility that they will shut down stream after first fight of prelims.

Wozniak vs Rodrigues


Wozniak is absolute beast, UFC should sign her...

Bleda vs Martins


weird fight and it seemed like Bleda torned her ACL at the end of fight , so definitely not luckiest night for Bleda..

Rodriguez KO and Ribas Submission
Waterson Sub and Hill KO is certainly possible too (I think those two will need a finish to win and it's possible)

I'm rooting for Ribas but have to say I will lol if Hill knocks her out her again with a looping right.

This is a funny quote from Kayla:


I thought the same thing. It took me a second to register that she actually tried to judo throw her. Funny to find out that Kayla took exception to her even thinking about trying that.

Goofy for sure, but to be fair Morais is a flyweight who does most of her best work from top control; her only chance to win was to somehow get on top. Jessica Andrade's gym isn't exactly known for clean outfighting or backfoot striking performances.

Michelle is ready!

I hope you are right I don't think hill has the power for ko(even on Ribas suspect chin) but Id love her to win.

I think Rodriguez gets the ko/tko but Michelle maybe comes in wrestling heavy for a decision.

Hill does have some history of KOing chinny fighters when she swangs for it

(Kim Winslow sighting! )

Michelle is ready!

michelle looks surprisingly jacked, there's no way she'd make atomweight these days!

 

[Rizz]

Randa lives to fight another day. Consider me happy. Now re-sign Gillian and we are good to go.

 

[Xuh]

Randa lives to fight another day.

I mean I suspect they'll give her yet another chance given the controversial ending but I also wouldn't jump the gun on that one...

 

[PurpleStorm]

Happy about that too. Didn't feel Randa should be let go based on her last fight, which felt too crazy & incomplete.

Waterson via sub round 4
Hill by decision

 

[leto1776]

Cassie Robb said she signed with BKFC. Cassie is a 2-11 record MMA fighter that fight at 105lbs. My theory is that they signed her to fight at 125lbs so if any of their pretty girls need a win they can have them face Cassie for a virtually guaranteed win.

Kyra Batara is a tweener between 105 and 115. Kyra is also 4'11. Lena is a 125er and one of Bellators original pretty girl fighters. So if they have Kyra fighting Lena at 125 we know the reason why. Kyra is better fighter than Cassie but the size advantage is still huge.

According to Bellator’s website, the fight is scheduled for 115

Ribas so scared she made out with a COVID patient: https://www.mmafighting.com/2021/5/...moved-from-ufc-vegas-26-bout-with-angela-hill

Ribas out due to covid - FUUUUUUUUUUU

Ribas out due to covid - FUUUUUUUUUUU

Oh, bugger! I'd make a joke about them trying to get Angela Hill as a replacement, she should be available even on this short notice

EDIT: if this was a mandatory test and not "getting sick and then test", good for UFC for testing even between the weigh-ins and the fights.

 

[Kuksenkov]

Angela Hill is probably fuming right now. She's got the worst luck, and I hate to see it. Screw it, I walk at 124lbs but I'll cut to 116 in a couple of hours, call me up Dana! Guaranteed win for Hill too.
