Quinones is too small for lightweight and kept playing the outside game with Sage. Bad fight IQ. I also think Sage was obiously the much stronger guy but I think Quinones should have at least tried to take it to the ground from mid second round

@fresno

Northcutt ain't a punk.  That's the problem.  He's annoyingly plastic.  Guy looks like he could have been a member of Cobra Kai in Karate Kid.

In fights where you're this much better than your opponent, you have to get a finish if you want a title fight.

Anybody know what that bump on the left side of Suarez is? It's a little above where a kidney should be on her back left.

Suarez vs Gadelha would be an interesting match stylistically.I'd rather see Suarez not jump up that quick but it would be really interesting nonetheless.

Suarez runs straightforward without head movement. She got away with it in this fight. However, it might backfire in the future depending on who she is matched up with.

Edit: @zarog Yeah I noticed that on her back.
