News Rose VS Silva moved to the main card

Natalia should have been on the main card anyway.

Why would Suga vs Song be changed to 5 rounds just because it's the co-main? That's not how it works.

"Natalia should have been" but not the former champ Rose?
I really don't get why anyone wants to see this boring point fighter on main card (or at all really). Her fights are horrible to watch, hopefully she loses badly.

Love Rose but it's Natalia's time. She should have been fighting for the belt next.

Rose is never getting a title shot at FLW, so it doesn't matter where she on the kid. She still deserves high placement though, imo.

My point is Rose is still the A side here regardless of her being shot. Rose has mainstream appeal, most people don't know or care who Natalia Silva is, and she's a godawful decision machine anyway...but it's Natalia's time to bore everyone to death in a 5 round title fight. If it wasn't for Rose she would still be on the prelims.
 
Is it still some type of "main event of the undercard" thing. Where that spot is good.

Umar Figgy can be co main over Sean for me.
Well Rose had that spot too. It's insane how much that garbage is forced down our throats.
Now they've broken their rule of not moving the prelim headliner to have their token wmma main card fight

I know a few tricks to make her make that same face.

Silva vs Namajunas is a title eliminator and should be on the main card, whereas the in the other fight we got a +1600 favorite fighting a 38y old from a lower weight class…
Title eliminator with a girl on a 1 fight win streak... over miranda maverick. Yes, definitely a better fight than umar vs figgy 🤡 and those odds are absurd. Also that "38 year old" managed to become top 5
 
I get why though, Umar is the biggest betting favorite on the card and the fight will likely be pretty one sided. Also it has some some snoozer potential if it's as easy for Umar as expected.
Ya I get all that. Crazy how a prelim fight has title implications.

Rose can fight.

I don't know why you quoted me, bro. I never said it should be over Umar/Figgy lol.
 
This isn't what we wanted, but it is what we should have expected

Don't know what the smart ass pic is for lol, but okay.

I did get your point. I said that Rose still deserves a high placement regardless imo, so obviously I don't disagree. I'm a fan of hers. If Rose didn't have mainstream appeal then of course that wouldn't be the case.

No idea what you mean saying if it wasn't for Rose Nat would still be on the prelims. She's filling in for Grasso. If it wasn't for Grasso Nat wouldn't be fighting on this one at all. That has nothing to do with Rose.

It's probably more because of Nat and Grasso that this on the main card now, not because of Rose.

They're trying to push Nat to a title shot. Nat's last 3 fights have all been on main cards, and one of them was a PPV. None of that has anything to do with Rose.

The UFC love Grasso and that mexican market. There was bigger fights on this card so they weren't making the main until the Kayla fight fell apart. If Rose was fighting Grasso, they'd have probably been moved to the main card thanks a lot to UFC's annoying love for Grasso, but if Rose was instead fighting someone like Maverikc again, for sure they'd have bumped up Figgy/umar instead.

The fact that they pushed up Rose/Nat is more due to them wanting to push Nat further towards a title shot next. They don't even put Rose on PPVs anymore. Last time was 5 fights ago when she lost the SW belt.

I just hate her style, can't stand watching her fights, running around in circles, no killer instinct whatsoever. She reminds me of that Chinese point fighter Xan (Yan?) from the SW division, just unbearable to watch.
