Jessica Eye hasn't done ****, and her little jabs from 6 feet away are completely pointless unless she got some go-go gadget arms.

That performance was all about avoiding a pink slip. 

But, as the UFC demonstrated with Lucas Martins, a win does not guarantee you a contract extension.

I don't think being in a extremely shallow division and dominating the #7 fighter in the division Sara has much to worry about in terms of getting a pink slip. As far as credentials goes Sara is right there with the best at BW.

I was correct but this was a very boring fight.

No chance for anyone to be excited and entertained with fights like this one.

0 bucks for the worst fight of the night. No doubts.

Wait.....Lucas Martins got canned. WHY? Dude was exciting and beat everyone that wasn't a top guy, mostly finishing them. His only losses were to Bektic (a likely future champ), Barboza (a top-15 in a weightclass up), and Elkins (a top-15 dude that grinds out victories over most people).
