Now, these ladies could be good. They could be legit prospects in the future. However, I can’t help but feel the goal of going after fighters with so little experience is to continue to grab fighters for cheaper and cheaper. It’s probably a matter of time until UFC starts paying based on country of origin, and adjusting for scale.

Can’t have a healthy regional scene if fighters are gobbled up before they can gain any experience.

Confess
 


Hackett could be in for a long night against Ky Bennett

Maldin’s not bad, but not the most active fighter. Yanez should take that one.

i was just rewatching cortez v. gatto and thinking about how much i missed her!!! ahhhh so happy :D

ufc this week:
motivated lipski by gnp - gatto is way too willing to get on bottom for an armbar
petrovic by weird finish? carolina has some especially weird losses at flyweight (kneebar by lipski and spinning back fist by molly)
santos by sd - rosa appears to be following the same path as rocky (health issues, loss of confidence) so yana might sneak one in. hope i'm wrong and rosa is back to her old self - but fighting at fw is a strange move
 
Da champ Danni Mac with some fight news coming soon, and manages to throw shade at DNBs like Bannon/:

 
I Wanna Petrock / Carolina: Petrock by GNP to submission in rd 2 or 3.

Santosova/Hosa: ZZzzzzzzzzzzzz
zzzzz
zz.....
come to think of it, it'd have been better to have Peña/Nunes 3 after all. Then Irene could beat up Peña and we could have an exciting champ to clear out the rest of these bums. Instead Irene got owned and her stock is at a low, and we're left wondering if Holm/Pennington will be the next fight for the belt...
Rosa Decision I guess.

Lipski/Gat.... wait, did someone say Lipski?
<YayKpop>
Lipski
<{1-7}>
<{1-7}><{1-7}><{1-7}>
<{1-7}><Wink><{1-7}>
<{1-7}><{1-7}><{1-7}>
 
After her last fight, when Ivana said she wanted to go to the UFC next, I said in my review of the fight that I wanted to her to get a fore more fights in first. She did not appreciate that. Sorry to say I was right. Losing to a scrub like Carolina, who’s best win is against a Strawweight, is a bad look.
 
I agreed with the 2 split decision winners Rosa/Yana and Lipski/Gatto (Lipski <{1-7}>). Was an important win for Lipski and her takedown defence looks like it's been vastly improved over the last few bouts. Rosa/Yana was boring as expected, Lipski/Gatto got a lot of hate as well but I didn't think it was bad, just average.

I knew Ivana was going to lose when she started chasing leglocks, you'd think fighters would know not to do that, when does it ever work? I knew Ribas was gonna lose too the moment she started that last week, and a few weeks before some Brazilian dude got pounded out after he refused to let go of his failed kneebah attempt even when his opponent was dropping bombs relentlessly on his unprotected face. You have to be a super-elite leglocker just to get that 5% chance of it working and even then you still have a 25% chance of getting fucked up, it's just not worth it, ever.
Otherwise Ivana looked very green, maybe a little physically underpowered in the clinch but for all her flaws Luana is quite strong and has developed reasonably good TDD there, Ivana would have been better off shooting doubles from space IMO (which she did in her regional fights - again in a fairly 'greenhorn' kinda way, bent over at the waist but with good timing and some success, and it might have worked here too) - maybe she can get some W's against ppl with bad grappling and weaker clinch defence than Luana in the near future (so long as she doesn't spam leglocks again), otherwise it's gonna be a steep climb...
(looking at the roster it's pretty tough in that regard, maybe she could fight Mandy Böhm or Victoria Leonardo, lol)

The belt thing was like 7 years ago and she was a teenager. If anything it’s more likely n the adults supervising her at that job

And that mic thing was like 3/4 years ago…. His long you gonna hold one innocuous mistake against a person

There are people on the roster who commuted actual crimes. What Maycee did is very minor

Forever, because it was against Roxy of all people. Roxy even willingly grappled her instead of taking advantage of the knee injury, which could have been fatal for her career. Yet for months after the fact, she couldn't give any props to Roxy (and as far as I know she still hasn't). So no to her weight bully self, and no to her dad.

Ever since she got together with Thiago, Yana hasn't won anything but a baby. Both of their careers have filled up with back to back to back losses. I think it might be time for Yana to consider her future as a fighter, or I'm afraid the rest of her UFC career will look like Lina Länsberg's.

She's probably getting cut now and maybe signing with the pfl, where she may achieve some victories.

But yeah... It's hard to believe she beat Ketlen Vieira after those last fights
