Macedo really impresive for 22 but i figure if she lost to evens smith no way she beats kgb.
Anybody see when evens smith fought that transexual fighter AND WON TWICE IN THE SAME FIGHT
Against it cause of refs mistake?

head and arm throws in MMA should be banned by coaches.

Macedo is like most fighters tonight....no idea what they're doing. Just throwing things to throw. kind of sad. imo you should have a understanding of distance and shot-selection by your first amateur fight. Cummings looked terrible. So did Silva and Moreno. No fight IQ.

knee-bars in wrestling are used as stretching exercises. How any pro fighter could lose by 1 is beyond me.

For real Shaolin. They all do it without a second thought. Only woman to get away with it over and over is Ronda.

Macedo is talented just not UFC ready. Could use a couple fights in Invicta. Shouldn't get another UFC fight until shes atleast 24-25.

Fight pass prelims in 2018....Rashad, Benavidez, Clay Guida.....my oh my how the times have changed. But I agree, get rid of these old men. MMA has surpassed them.
