Pacheco is not using the right game-plan at all.  What's wrong with her in UFC fights?

disappointing performance by Pacheco again... she has pretty good jitz, why she decided to trade punches with a muay thai champion? she needs to be in a better team.

I think obviously anyone taking Pacheco thought 80%+ of the fight would be on the mat.  No one at all thought Pacheco could stand with de Randamie.

Pacheco is absolute garbage. People get way too mystified by records. Especially in Brazil, it's all about the level of competition. She looked horrible in her debut and maybe worse here. 

And by absolute garbage ... I mean in relation to ppl singing her praises.

Yeah I was sure Larissa would get the better of Germaine on the ground and she decided to stand and bang for whatever reason, wow, she either needs a new team or a new gameplanning strategy.

Is it just me, or does Holly Holm vs Germaine de Randamie sound like an amazing fight.

I think Germaine would probably woop Holly's ass.

@skelli, I don't think it's her record per say that had me high on her ... it's her fight with Irene Aldana (and every Aldana win since) that made me wait one more fight before giving up on her ... especially vs. a chick that if she had got to the mat, she would have most likely finished.

I am not entirely sold on Germaine. I picked her because Pacheco might be the worst fighter in the entire roster. How she can be a favorite over anyone is beyond me.
