Guys why do you dislike WMMA? Noone in their right mind wants to watch hours of decisions fights like this every week. Which is why those unhinged enough of us to do it anyway can make a good living off it.

The worst part about this is. Pennington vs Pena is next for a title fight. I expect that to be the same exact excitement level..

Problem is making it co-main or main event. Make it the third to last fight and there would be less grumbling.

Perfectly, Silva talked to much and don't backed.
The worst thing is the next: Most Probably We gonna have another fight between Pennington vs. Holm, although probably Juliana ''Can'y throw curve punches'' Peña is mostly likely next.

135 is wide open for any tweener 125 with moderate skill that moves up.

Is women's FW better than BW? FWs have pretty good scraps in Bellator and PFL, nobody else has a BW women's division besides the UFC.

@Bigbrabble 


Was gonna say Weili than forgot she's already on 300 against Yan Xiaonan. 

So Blanchfield has to be our hero, but she's scheduled too. So we're doomed....

@gliese58i 
Yeah, but unfortunately I don't think that ever happens. With that said, I just want Valentina to move up and grab that belt now that Nunes is gone.
