Other

- At the weigh-ins Manny Bermudez, Renan Barao and Jessica Penne missed the required weight for their respective fights. Bermudez weighted at 140 pounds and Barao weighted at 138 pounds, 4 pounds and 2 pounds over the bantamweight non-title fight limit of 136 respectively. Meanwhile, Penne weighed in at 118 pounds, 2 pound over the strawweight non-title fight limit of 116. All three bouts continued at catchweight respectively. Barao and Penne were fined 20 percent of their purse and Bermudez was fined 30% of his purse which went to their opponents.
- Jessica Penne pulled out of her fight against Jodie Esquibel on the day of the fight.
 
Wait, what Penne is out? Didn't know that.

Fucking always there's gonna be a pullout the day of so the god damn event starts 30 min later.
 
Actually liked my money on Jodie as well :/ Oh well
 
PSA: 5D cancelled my event-wide wagers (fights going the distance). Doubt there's time to get them up again.
 
Was waiting on Albu to go +money all week but +100, not tempting enough. In the absence of real skills strength plays a pretty big role in who wins. If Whit had a big BJJ edge I'd prob favor her.
 
Plausible chance for a draw here. Albu comes out gunning, gasses, gets 10-8'd in the 3rd.
0.1u yolo
 
Feel like Whitmires pale white face is going to mark up easily and will lead to judges giving it to Albu more easily. Gimme dat cash.

So is Sanders any good recently?

He's honestly looked pretty good until he makes a stupid mistake. He was basically killing Alcantara until the kneebar. He easily won the first vs. Souk and then got caught. Yahya just showed how good his ground game is and subbed him quick.

Despite his losses, he's looked a lot better than Barao has. With that said, it's hard to trust him. The same can be said about Barao though.

That sounds like what I recall about Sanders exactly, always looking for a way to lose a fight he should win.
