Def agree with its Pennington's time for a title shot but don't think Pena won't be right in front of the line again once healthy

Good for MBS getting a title shot. I cannot stand Juliana Pena. Giving her a title shot would have been absurd when she doesn't have a win over anyone on the active roster. You cannot coast on beating an unprepared Amanda Nunes for years on end.

Allen vs. Evloev
Arnold Allen, TKO, R2
Arnold has got this man.

Lainesse vs. Patterson
Sam Patterson, SUB, R2
Patterson is slick on the ground but man his chin is so far up in the air so he could easily get flatlined again.

My thoughts when I watched the Abus Magomedov's match:

Predictions: 7 of 11 Winners, 3 Perfect, 450 Points   |   Tied for 314th

"Fighting in ufc is simple. For 15 minutes(or 25 minutes), the two players punch each other, kick, grab, roll, and take down, and eventually Dagestan wins.

If they can beat that have really good skill non-rankers."

There are rumors going around that MBS has another failed drug test and might not be on the card anymore.

@byakuya she already put out a video saying her “removal” from the roster was due to her ongoing suspension, she will be fine to fight in january

Yeah also, I think it's more to do with she didn't disclose that.

If the company testing you for drugs doesn't know you are on a prescription drug, than how tf are they suppose to act? 

Kevin Lee did the same thing with not disclosing his addiction to Adderall and got released 

(Even tho MBS said hers was prescription, you still have to disclose that before a fight.)

I remember when she first got suspended she said she’s always made it clear about taking adderall (she has ADHD) and she didn’t do anything differently on that fight week (idr what exactly she said but it was something along the lines of she doesn’t take it fight week) yet some metabolites popped up

Jourdain vs. Woodson
Sean Woodson, DEC
I understand that Jourdain has turned a corner in his career and has looked really good lately, but Sean Woodson is a cheat code for the division. The only opponents that give Sean Woodson issues are other tall and long fighters, which Jourdain is not.
