    Maybe I've seen wrong , but I know he's holding it off until as long as possible. I can't find any specifics on enlistment being completed by a certain date. I did find the 30 year old deadline.

    Didn't Aldrich just fight at Invicta recently? She looked great besides having almost no power. Proper strength and conditioning would do her wonders.

    on a level tho which female Brazilian fighters aren't kinda tough on the eyes. Bethe's a--- doesn't count

    I think a lot of em have taken something in the past. So many of em have really solid builds

    Yup, Lima was originally supposed to fight Tatiana Suarez but she got hurt. Aldrich and Ashley Yoder both fought on the last Invicta card.

    Aldrich looks 15 in there. Lima handled her pretty easily.

    How's Invicta? I've only caught odd fights. Gonna come across as chauvinistic (especially following my previous post lol) but I'm not very into watching the lower level women fight (they're often slow paced and sloppy). I watch em when they're sprinkled in but not sure I'd enjoy cards full of them. Not sure how developed the 145 division is but everyone parrots that it's very shallow. I think a 125 division would be great in the UFC tho.

    Gadelha and Dern are both attractive.

    Invicta cards are always fun. Plus it's a farm system so you get a look at former and future fighters for the UFC women's divisions. Highly recommend them.

    I'll check one out at some point then. FightPass just has so much content... Then there's Bellator and WSOF too. Gotta prioritise man

    Dern definitely is. I know it's an unpopular opinion but Claudia looks like she'd eat my d-ck and not in a good way so I'm not with it

    Its ok, there are usually only a couple fights that i have legit interest in per card. I normally just skim through most of the fights on Fight Pass the day after and then watch the top 2-3 fights. UFC has been picking off a lot of their talent as of late though so their cards have started to get thinner.

    Diakiese is definitely still green... But with the amount of power and raw talent he has at 23... Definitely got a lot of potential. Likely needed a fight like that for the adversity. His striking fundamentals need work

    Safarov is tough as s---. Corey Anderson should've gotten a bonus for changing his god awful nickname. Ngannou looks scarier every fight. Lewis needs to lose a few pounds and focus on wrestling people into his ground and pound.

    @redsoxx any fights on the prelims (on paper atleast) worth checking out or should I just hold off until the main card starts?

    Vannata vs Makdessi and Krylov vs Cirkunov in particular should be great.

    Vannata and Krylov are must watches for me. Krylov is the main LHW prospect who's finished big heavyweights before. Put Ed Herman to sleep last fight. Vannata is a mad man who took a short notice fight against Ferguson and had him hurt multiple times. Funky stand up. This will be his first full camp since 2014.
