Does anyone else not wonder how you train and prepare for a hydration test like she stated? I thought it was just don't cut weight to pass it. This is just fuel to my thought that fighters have already found a way around them. There will always be idiots who fail like the commission drug test but there is a method to get by them. Another question I have is how are they barely making weight but missing hydration test and later pass hydration test while still being on weight. A lot of stuff about this is not adding up. Please correct me if I am wrong on something.
 
These are three good matchups in the UFC: I'll take Maia by decision via 'um superior boxing and Demopoulos via sub, but hopefully Crystal will lower the level on those post fight celebrations.

Silva looked great against Jasudavicius so it's quite a test for young Bleda, I'm open to being surprised but the Brazilian via decision.
 
No idea how any of the fights go to be honest, I don't think I've seen Oliveira or Bleda fight yet and there are clear paths for both Maia & Moroz to win their fight. If Maia consents to a long range kickboxing match she'll get outpointed by Moroz, but I think she has the advantage if she can make it ugly and get it to the ground. Everything seems like a coin flip so I'm going Maia, Demopoulos, and Silva because that's what my magic Toonie says.

I would assume the idea is to get lean as possible in camp, so there's a minimal water cut.

Although, I'm as curious as you about how some fighters have seemingly been able to both hydrate and lose weight at the same time after missing initially. ONE should just get rid of the hydration tests (they're fucking up the Prime cards anyway), and go back to lying about everyone making weight. I think they're too deep into the "yeah we fixed weight cutting" narrative to change.

What happened to the hawtish australian who was supposed to become a Thing, but didn't get past Contender Series?

Name escapes me, so she might be still about in the smaller leagues.

Chelsea Hackett? She's been replaced by Aussie kickboxer Jacinta Austin until Austin loses once and then disappears.

Right! Hackett it was, thanks a bunch. Seems like absolutely nothing has been going on with her since she washed out on DWCS indeed.

She hasn’t fought at all since Contender Series. Still trains, even owns a fitness gym. No idea why she hasn’t taken a fight. Can’t blame Covid at this point
 
I'm rooting for Moroz against Maia; I'm really not sure about Oliveira versus Demopoulos; I was impressed by Silva in her last fight, but Bleda is supposed to be pretty good, and it looks like a pretty large size difference, rooting for Silva, though.
