I don't really understand what UFC are doing here - I've heard IRL normie/casuals bring up Shi Ming and how she's a doctor that kills people (lol), and her name keeps getting mentioned on MMA discussio boards now of course (funny how much hype can spread because of a single kick in a fight she was losing til then), obviously it's got a lot of attention, so.......... they put her on a card even semi-hardcores might miss (hence why you felt the need to post a reminder, even), against an opponent who will probably jog around the outside and outpoint her to win a bland decision, squashing all that hype for no gain.you're probably right![]()

You'd think that instead she'd be on the main China card, and matched against a can... maybe even a regional jobber signed specially for a one-and-done... they could even get one of the Japanese hobbyists from a Deep Jewels undercard for instance, that would go down well with the locals, it's what Bellator would do, that's why Bellator is the top dog in the MMA worl.... wait what? when?? HOW?!!!![]()
it's all part of the same slap-dash approach to the asian market as the ufc has always had, really. without getting into the weeds about ufc in asia, i would say that the brass wanted to parlay doctor sleep's viral success into their next matchup, only to find that everyone else at sw would probably grind/wipe her out. enter, the cage roomba.

The UFC female match maker just didn't know who she was. True story. The Macao fight was early morning in U.S, and even the female match maker don't watch female fights afterwards on replay. Match maker's ignorance cause a massively long delay, until pretty much all the momentum she had gathered totally died. To make match making even worse, they finally booked her with another over-sized opponent. Not "favorable" at all. ️ Incredible business plunder.

Tuff-N-Uff 147 - Las Vegas, Nevada, USA
Main Card – UFC Fight Pass – 10:00pm ET / 7:00pm PT
Taylor Guardado vs. Evelyn Martins
I'd been looking at the list of flyweights* (since Bruna fought there I thought that's where Shi was at) and thinking 'hmm yeah no chance' then I remembered she was Straw and checked the list of current UFC straws on wiki, which includes the likes of:it's all part of the same slap-dash approach to the asian market as the ufc has always had, really. without getting into the weeds about ufc in asia, i would say that the brass wanted to parlay doctor sleep's viral success into their next matchup, only to find that everyone else at sw would probably grind/wipe her out. enter, the cage roomba.
Robbery of the century, follow the case of Sana Mandar.
The third world is perhaps too corrupt to enable a solid foundation of an MMA project on its own, alone, without international institutions to monitor its directives.
Good fight for bantamweight outside the UFC. What’s disappointing is that it’s on Tuff n Nuff. No disrespect to them, they’ve been great for amateur fighters for years now, but they’re not a big platform for pro fighters. It’s a shame Invicta is in the unstable position it appears to be in right now. When Invicta is going steady, the women’s divisions are much stronger.
Also, if Martins can successfully make 135, it will justnfurther show how unnecessary featherweight is.
Strange signing. Over a year since her last fight. Part of me thinks she was waiting for her Octagon contract to expire, but I don’t think Octagon would get in the way of going to the UFC
I believe I've discovered a compelling logical reason for the signing:

Now watch her get utterly crushed in one round by the first Butchzillian they match her against (well, or anybody else really).
Side note: Enormous duck lips seem to be at epidemic levels amongst Eastern Euro grils. Could probably become a millionaire quickly opening up a lip filler clinic there. I'd say it's a huge 'red flag' for an MMA fighter but one of them even managed to win a UFC fight recently (Klaudia Syguła)
