    Rawlings may have missed weight by 1 pound, but that b---- looks like she has 20 pounds on Tecia.

    Send Bec back to Invicta and feed Tecia to Karolina or Claudia.

    Ramos who was featured in the most recent Dana White Lookin' For a Fight episode is up next.

    Then Skelly who is always exciting vs Chris Gritz from the McGregor/Faber TUF season.



    And then Blaydes who is one of the best HW prospects, just unfortunately ran into Ngannou.

    That s--- reminded me of Cormier vs Hendo, just a massive size advantage and ragdolled the guy.

    Skipped the past the 3 fights. All of the people who said Hill could be competitive might eat crow. If Andrade loses, I eat s---. Andrade 1-0

    EDIT: Anik and Stann were all over Hill's d-ck for losing 3 rounds decisively. Sure, she has a good chin, but they were really heaping praise on her.

    Surprised Andrade didn't take Hill down, the reason she was a -800 favorite was because she had such a clear advantage there.

    Was hoping she would win a lot easier so she could fight Joanna in April maybe as the Kansas City FOX headliner, but that's probably a little soon now. Maybe they make it the Co Main for the Dallas PPV in May.

    I don't think JJ can take those shots.

    Yea, I had questions about her cardio at this weight class but she passed that test with flying colors. If Andrade gets anyone up against the cage, they're pretty much f-----.

    Props to Hill for eating those shots though. Time for the UFC to give that poor girl a winnable fight though. Last 3 opponents in the UFC were Torres, Rose and Andrade.

    Torres and Rose aren't exactly unwinnable. She'd prob do better in a rematch tbh. She has improved.

    I picked the huge f--- and he got slept. Of course.

    Not unwinnable but she had 2 MMA fights when she fought Tecia and then Rose right after.

    Not a good look for Hamilton to get slept by a 205 LB fighter who couldn't win his fight to get into the TUF 23 house.

    Think there are a lot of LHW's who would do work in that division. Still pretty sure Rumble would be champ and hope if he loses to DC he goes up. Division needs him. Although i guess LHW does as well, despite the fact that hes KO'd almost every other relevant guy in the division outside of JBJ/DC.

    I just want him to beat DC so at least there's a bit of life in the division until Jones returns. The way he ripped Glover's guard down and slept him was probably the most impressive thing I've ever seen him do. Idk if he'd be champ at heavy, but there are plenty of fun match ups there for him. Particularly Hunt. Imagine that highlight reel they could market with.

    OSP just got beaten by a dude who didn't even have a picture on the UFC website before like 2 days ago.

    Jesus Grasso came to shadowbox tonight. Awful, awful performance.

    edit: and she thought she won...gross

    Waterson vs Herrig i wouldn't be mad at.

    I didn't think she looked too bad. Has clearly been working on other stuff. Expected the strength differential to be a much bigger deal. Herrig looked good too. A year from now, this fight would've gone way differently imo. I was ready for Herrig to get robbed against a UFC hype job designed to infiltrate Mexico. The show is in Texas. Glad that didn't happen.

    Did not expect Trujillo to get tapped. Gotta look into these size differences before I make my picks tbh.

    Who would have thought KZ would be that sharp after a 3 year lay off? I'd say he's made the division even more interesting than it already was.

    3/6 in my picks. Not mad at the main event or Hamilton getting put down by a midget. Those were smart bets that backfired imo.
