And for everyone who picked Aldana to win ... please stop making MMA picks... you truly know nothing about the sport. 

And if you are betting ... heaven help you

Amanda going out on top, her retirement ends the 145 women's division, there will never be a lineal 135 women's champ, her wife is pregnant again, got to show off her side piece. Enjoy your retirement Amanda, the greatest of all time!

Nunes to win was the easiest pick this year. As was Mallot.

And if you did not pick them... rethink your life please

I think it was a good night for Amanda to retire, she had already achieved everything: Champions in 2 divisions, record defenses in those 2 categories, victories over Tate, Rousey, Cyborg, Holm, GDR (x2), Valentina (x2 ), Peña (who are all UFC champions at 135 or 145). 

She no longer had anything else to prove and the UFC will decide who they put to fight for the vacant title of the Women's Bantamweight and decide if the Women's Featherweight continue to exist as a category or decide to close it definitively with the retirement of Nunes.

Very kind of you to say so.

And sorry to anyone who had messaged me previously, I am sorry I did not see the messages as I rarely actually look at my own profile. Very much appreciate all the kind words everyone had. Hope you guys are doing well.

See you all next week. That card looks like a good one for picks!

Pennington vs. Pena seems like the pretty obvious title fight to make.

Also RIP to Norma Dumont's thunder thighs now that she has to try to make 135, which she's never actually done in the UFC despite being ranked #13.

When Norma weighs in for 145 she actually looks in great walk around shape. If only she could figure out her diet to make 135. Just give her whatever they started giving Dern after she had a baby.

I would like her to call Tracy Cortez while she waits for the winner of Grasso vs Shevchenko to kind of erase the L that she has by beating the only one fighter that she lost against anyway she has 4 win streak and after that clean the division there is good matchups in top 6 right now,and she still never fought in a different weighclass but also to do some fights at bantamweight(I don't think if she switch division it will be at strawweight)
