Weili lost twice to Namajunas by TKO and Decision and Esparza beat Namajunas twice by Decision and Submission so I'm going with Esparza for the win

rose more dangerous striker than weili? lol

if you wanna play mma math here, weili tko'd andrade who tko'd rose the 1st time and lost a close decision the second time

weili carries way more power in her hands and is waaaaay stronger than rose so she wont get bullied in the clinch

on top of that weili won't have a brain freeze and jog around the octagon for 5 rounds like rose did, she's going for the kill

also for what it's worth, weili WON second fight against rose she just got robbed

Predictions: 10 of 14 Winners, 3 Perfect, 675 Points   |   Tied for 97th

MMA math has already been debunked to hell and back. Weili is leagues ahead of Carla on the feet and her wrestling has improved since fighting Rose. Can Carla beat Weili; very unlikely but yes. Is your explanation logical; nah.

I just want to throw out that during her last 6 fights, Esparza even tho undefeated has 4 splits, a decision over Jardiroba and a stoppage win due to cuts. Even when she wins she fights close. Also, Wheili has some decent wrestling of her own and I can only guess her tdd will be even better than the Rose fight since she wont be worrying about heat coming her way.

@Illuminated, thanks for the backstory on Jackson.  Didn't know anything about him previously.  Going to be rooting for him today.  Hope he spams takedowns and gets an easy decision win.

Riddell - Moicano

Predictions: 4 of 5 Winners, 0 Perfect, 200 Points   |   Tied for 5026th

I’m hesitant on picking Moicano because of the beating he just took from RDA but I also feel like if he can take a beating like that from RDA then he should be able to handle Riddell, plus Riddell’s TDD is a little sus

Nope I gradually started to dislike rose over time. Just her answers to certain things and she seems to have the wrong opinion all the time. The way she lost that belt and felt bad for herself while not actually doing anything all fight. She should just accept it was a crap fight and crap performance
