I clearly explained why. 0-2. Both fights were pathetic. Wasn't good as a match-maker for Invicta etc.

@Massabruce

What? Why should Aguilar get cut? The doctors gave the thumbs up. And she wanted the fight too. The commision is to blame. Not cut her ffs.

10-8 Eduardo.  Wood has no defense.  Eduardo was blasting him with hard combos and never tried to take it to the ground to disrupt his rhythm.  Eduardo is going to finish him in the upcoming round, me thinks.

On the plus side, I still got points because I picked Wood, so I'll take it.

Bruce, Aguilar was the Women's matchmaker for Titan FC, which had a very slim women's roster...there's nothing to look into. 

Carry on.

Not exactly news no. But he hasn't been tapped by chumps in the UFC, and one figures he'd at least improve after 20 years of grappling training with the best in the world. He tried to roll into a leg lock again out of a D'arce choke.
