Just one bit of info to all you degenerates.

Did a bit of research after Rusty picked Belbita inside the distance. 

Apparently she was on a reality TV (like Big Brother) just before this fight. She probably hasn't even had a good camp. I think her focus is definitely not on MMA. And Belbita has really nice head kicks and good over hands.

I am dropping a bet on Belbita by finish.

Just FYI

Aldana picks are blinded by Nunes' Pena loss.

Predictions: 3 of 11 Winners, 2 Perfect, 200 Points   |   Tied for 4030th

Legit she's got next to no chance imo, of course anything can happen and she's a solid fighter(she's alright at best and would lose to blanchfield, maverick, pena and i'm only saying she's  "solid"  so the aldana fans don't cry)but realistically there's no reason anyone should actually believe she could win (without a robbery or fluke). 

Personally, the people backing Aldana would probably back Du Plessis to beat Whittaker.

oliveria/benny over 0.5, nunes/aldana over 0.5, belbita/oliveria over 1.5. would most likely win you nothing but locks are locks i guess

Rah123 I just think Belbita has more volume which will win a decision, doesn't matter much about the camp I just think that means she hasn't improved at all but is fight for a fight.

**** it. I'm taking Landwehr against my better judgment. I don't think either guy gets finished and since this is the same exact judges as last week, anything can happen.

Oliveira will be looking to clinch and throw knees and elbows, but I'm betting that Velveeta controls the distance with her head and body kicks.  However, I have the curse of being wrong on the first fight (sorry to infect you Gliese), full disclosure.
