It’s so annoying how Choi’s lack of grappling IQ is horrendous. His stand up is so dangerous-I always want to put a bet on him but it’s just too unreliable. All he needs is a little grappling improvement (In the way Alex Caceres did perhaps) & he’d be way higher in the rankings

RIP Carla. Two title reigns, zero defenses. I'm still interested in the fight, though.

Back in 2014, Carla beat Rose for the vacant Strawweight belt and in 2015, she got KTFO by Joanna in her first title defense.  I'm afraid history is going to repeat itself here because I cannot see a situation where Carla can defeat Zhang other than Zhang making a mistake somehow.

Moicano vs. Riddell
Renato Moicano, SUB, R2
This fight is amazing. I’m a Moicano homer so there is a slight bias but I do think he wins this fight. Brad’s striking is better than Moicano’s but when it gets to the mat it’s most likely not gonna be pretty for Brad. I’m sure he knows this and is working on his ground game but I think Moicano is too good in that department for Brad to handle it. The striking isn’t even too far off so that also helps out Renato
