hahahahahaha what?

That judge who scored that in favor of Bennett should be banned from scoring fights. Bennett didn't win a single round in my book.  You could argue she won round 3 maybe, but she was doing nothing with her takedown attempts while pressing Fabian against the fence.  Not only that, how was round 1 not a 10-8 for Fabian with that knock down?  Ultimately, however, Fabian screwed herself by grabbing the fence.

bennett controlled the 2nd and 3rd the whole time , she lost the first and no it was not a 10-8 imo that chick did **** all except land a big kick at the end , she was controlled by the wall and stall the whole fight. all ufc cares about anymore is strikers . its so ******* boring this is why i rarely watch anymore .

Pretty wild fight. I'm not sure how big of a step up this O'Malley kid should get.

what a great fight. very good matching, actually. 

O'Malley is flashy alright, raw talent. he kinda reminds me of Anderson Silva. long, elusive striker, but he lacks the power, precision and mainly, the clinchwork. he will face REAL problems with pressure fighters. 

Ware solved the riddle in the second round, but that gameplan needs a lot of cardio to keep pushing the pace, cornering him against the cage. Ware slowed down in the third and lost the fight.

So sad for Roxy.  It would have been nice to cap off a career with a UFC belt

Regardless of who won, killers from 115 and 135 are going to be swooping in to flyweight

Nicco seems to be a solid/ok prospect, not a blue chip/top prospect. I don't like her chances of retaining the title vs. a experienced UFC vet such as Katlyn Chookagian.
