[werepig]

- macy by sub
- gonna go maycee on this one

 

[Necrocrawler]

Going
Rayanne in a "loser leaves town match" by UD
Macy UD
Blanchfield UD (maybe a sub)

 

[leto1776]

Weigh in for Super Challenge tomorrow night. For archival purposes, of course

 

[Xuh]

ERIN by SUB - I was undecided but coming back from a mystery 'near death' illness to miss weight and look like near death for your first 5 rounder isn't encouraging. Erin and her, uh, bezzie Fatima seem a bit 'mean' as well so wouldn't be surprised if Erin prefers to just GnP to TKO if Maycee completely runs out of juice (especially since they seem to be beefin').

VIERA by LnP: I was undecided about this too but Viera seems to be coming in 'strategically heavy' which will help her blanket her way to victory. Rooting for Macy though coz Viera is the most boring fighter in UFC WMMA right now.

ARDELEAN by DEC: Rayanne seems to be the smart and sensible choice but I'm not sensible, or smart. Ardelean is kinda viewed as a joke fighter - not wrongly really - but her fights were actually pretty competitive (vs better competition than what Rayanne has been losing to) and it seems she's taking it srs for her last possible chance; and I want to live in a universe where Alice Ardelean is a 'UFC winner'.

 

[Trupsi]

- Erin by finish, could see a sub or a TKO by GnP.
- Chiasson by DEC
- not familiar with Dos Santos, so I'll go with Alice. She's probably not UFC level, but she deserved the nod vs Bannon, and the 30-27 vs Martinez was harsh.

 

[leto1776]

Vieira caused the change in weight. Big card Barb just coming in big.

Weight missers are 2-9 in UFC in 2025, apparently

I really liked Chiasson in this until the weight change hopefully it isn't a factor and Vieira actually tried to cut and is drained if so i like a sub finish.

I don't see how Erin loses this one. I'd expect her to get the stoppage even, listening to maycee talk about Erin having no striking and her desire to push forward I would not be surprised if Erin gets another headkick ko like she did Leonardo in with.

Dos Santos maybe idk these girls are both meh cannon fodder for others to make a name off of.

 

[Jackonfire]

dos Santos via dec

Chiasson via dec

Blanchfield via ko/tko. Most likely a gnp stoppage.

 

[Eater of Souls]

Have had no time to look into anything so no real picks from me. I would like to see Barber lose.

 

[leto1776]

Olsim must have finally gotten out of her ONE contract. Last fought Sept 2023. Akiyama announced today that his contract ran out, as well. Maybe they have time limits

Silvana Gomez Juarez picked up a win last night on Fight Pass in Mexico:


Aitana Alvarez picked up a win over Alejandra Lara today in Sweden. Back to having a winning record

 

[Mittens]

Guess who woke up for the Main Event?


Gonna go fishing, just got the boat in the water yesteray.

Ya love to see it.
Although Jacoby not getting any POTN is fucked up,

Vieira was able to use all her weight advantage to lay and pray for a 29-28. Macy also contributed to her downfall fighting very stupidly to the bigger fighter s strength.

Then maycee pulling out of boi.

 

[Xuh]

Time to ditch 'The Future' and borrow Darla Harris's nick,

Maycee 'Train Wreck' Barber

 

[leto1776]

Gold, Jerry, gold!

Also, finish from Superior Challenge yesterday. Do not press play if squeamish!

 

[Eater of Souls]

Shit that was bad. Hope she is able to recover.
