If you get 50-43’d there shouldn’t even be a rematch. Just give us the trilogy with Valentina already.

Everyone saying Nunes was overrated and Peña was going to repeat should be temp banned through the next event. There ought to be a cost to being loudly and aggressively wrong for like 100 forum pages.

Quite honestly could not believe what I was hearing. And everyone was saying Nunes injuries and recent COVID were excuses. Seriously....

In most cases a 50-43 would kill your chances at a trilogy but this is women's MMA. Other than Viera, there are no other real contenders at 135 and the rivalry with Julianna is worth something. Ideally they would make the trilogy with Valentina but Pena is still the only one on the roster to finish Nunes.

Some deep thinking here but think on it

Predictions: 10 of 13 Winners, 3 Perfect, 605 Points   |   Tied for 1100th

UFC should re-schedule Chiasson against Felicia Spencer. Giving Nunes time off and setting her up with a fight at 145 could allow them to set up the potential Shevchenko trilogy. The promotion currently has 3 womens featherweight fights booked. I know we joke this division is non-existant, but maybe not for much longer. 

I think Shevchenko probably has one more fight left at 125 against Fior (UFC really trying to pump the Paris market) assuming she beats Chook. There is literally no one left for her to fight at that point. She'll eventually move back up. Fior, Santos and O'neil will lead that division. 

While that occurs, GDR vs. Aldana should be re-booked for the Interim 135 title (we all know the UFC loves their interim titles).

well a few things @foppa420

Spencer retired not too long ago and Aldana is booked against chiasson, the winner probably gets a title eliminator or title shot after Ketlen vieira

I honestly didn't know Spencer retired lmao. Thank you for that. Not an easy division to keep up with. Megan Anderson is also basically retired. Pretty sure bringing Kayla Harrison over is the only the reason the belt still exists.

Kayla is staying in the pfl, I think it’s finally time to end the division. Chiasson is moving back down to fight Aldana, so there is nobody at 145

Kayla actually just said this is all but certainly her last season in PFL. So it's whoever pays her more between UFC and Bellator or she just retires.

145 was also exclusively made for Cyborg b/c she was the only elite women who couldn't actually make 135 wout almost dying

yeah spencer's retirement was pretty odd lol. And with Megan gone too we only have a few batamweight fighters moving up if fights are on short notice along with girls like Dumont, Zarah fairn and Letson. Not even sure if Ramona pascual is still with the UFC and if she's still willing to fight at 145. Thankfully we have new featherweights being signed like Perez and Chandler. But still there's like 5-6 people in that division. Just close it at this point

I don't think Spencer retired, didn't the UFC let her go?

Spencer is most definitely retired. I think she even mentioned it in her post-fight interview inside the cage after her last fight in the UFC. I also think this was one of her last interviews in regard to this.
