@Mikey Grasso is pretty good in the phone booth. Bad at middle distance though. Overcommits to badly timed shots because she never seems to be able to get  people measured at medium range, and ends up punching air like a spastic. I've taken her tonight though.

Yeah I'm worried about Esparzas takedowns shutting down Grasso striking.  I took Grasso as she has the tools (boxing, reach and movement) to keep Esparza off her but I'm far from.confident!!!

I just took Grasso because she has the looks period. I'd actually like to take her more than any other woman in the UFC.

Smokeshow.

Did Aldana seriously only land 81 sig strikes? It looked like a hell of a lot more than that.

Hopefully Askarov gets it done here.  I'll be pissed if another Russian prospect falls through!!!!! 
I'm pretty confident here, Moreno does have potential to pull something out the bag but everything I've seen from Askarov has been very good

I like Askarov but I don't think he's as good as the Hype. He'll need to prove that to me and he won't do that this fight even if he wins early by extreme violence.

How does Askarov do if he doesn't get the guy outta there? Moreno has never been finished and has a lot of experience.

I give 1st to Askarov but I'm probably biased just like the Mexican judges will be and they'll give that round to Moreno!!!!

VERY close and good round. Moreno running away at the end might have cost him it was that close. Or at least I thought it was.

Yea. He’s a stud. Still worried about his tank. Moreno is tricky. This match up is a treat.
