Someone mentioned what's next for Torres; 
Gadelha is the first person I think of that she hasn't fought already.  If we're talking rematches the first one that comes to mind is Esparza. 
Some others that she hasn't fought; Dern, Ribas, Lemos, Yan, Jandiroba, Nina Nunes (Ansaroff) and Souza. Although I think Torres deserves a little higher than Souza though.

I think it will go badly for gane if he goes for a takedown. He may get it but he tends to give top position away for a sub and people under estimate just how powerful lewis is. Hes just stood up multiple times when better grapplers have taken him down. Gane should stay on his bike all fight and if lewis is hurt or doing his usual antics or playing possum he just stay too close for punches to land where he can land elbows

Feels good to watch the rest of the card after the parlay catching...

Predictions: 9 of 13 Winners, 6 Perfect, 665 Points   |   Tied for 276th

God damn it feels good to hit a three banger parlay on close fights...

Parlayed: Gatto, Song, and Luque.

I also bet on round 1 Sub for Vicente... He has a natural antiwrestling style of striking, stands super square and is ready to choke or sprawl, granted that isnt exactly how it went but ill take the cheddar.

Its so hard to win a decision vs Yadong, he returns every shot exchanged and it makes it hard for judges to not give him rounds.

Gatto couldve gone really bad, Havnt seen her fight in a few years. Mainly was just taking advantage of leonardo's lack of ability in the fight game.

Aldo should be the faster more technical fighter and 3 rounds favours him. Strange to think their both the same age as well and if he’s motivated I  believe in his takedown defence. I don’t feel like he’s fell off the cliff yet and even when slowing down he has good head movement

Pedro has a great chin but it will fail him one day if he keeps eating big shots
Close round but the bigger shots were landed by Jose and he’s checking a lot of those kicks

Aldo took that one with the harder shots. That uppercut is money. I miss the Aldo that would throw leg kicks though.

Is it a significant strike if it’s checked or lands to the arm? I’m confused about how inconsistent stat keepers are
