Valentina is such a badass though. I guess she will go back to being an international assassin for the rest of the year.

At least that got the crowd back into it before the Jones fight.

That fight didn’t move the needle at all for this sport. Nobody buys the PPV to watch women fight.

Let them try and put a women’s division fight as the main event. I bet it would have the worst ratings in the history of the UFC.


man you dont even know what you are talking about. rousey vs holm was one of the biggest ppv ever.

Yeah, Valentina was due to lose. Seems like age is catching up to her. Maybe they will run it again, but Blanchfield is the next big name in this weight class.

dude. That fight was better than a lot of men main events. There's been a bunch of boring men's UFC fights. That was exciting with quite a bit of action.

Are you new to the UFC? Women have been in the Main Event plenty of times

Rousey was literally the biggest draw in the company at one point

The bantamweight fights have traditionally been better female fights. That's where Rousey, Holm, and Amanda Nunes, etc all resided and there were usually big finishes in those fights.

The lighter weights have usually been pretty bad fights.

Anyone else think Gane gets this done? I just have a weird feeling.
Maybe it was because of that fight just now.

I just have questions about Jones being a little older, not fighting in 3 years, and not having his usual size advantage. Odds are pretty close too, so I guess I’m not alone. GOATmay have his hands full tonight, especially if that takedown doesn’t come easy.

Predictions on Jones/Game? I've got Gane in the 3rd.

Peña upset over Nunes
Nunes KO’s of Cyborg and Rousey
Joanna vs Zhang
Rose vs Joanna
Rose vs Zhang
Valentina vs Nunes

There have been some great ladies fights. Lots of duds, but great fights as well.

That Weili/Joanna 1 may have been the best fight I’ve ever watched. Ever

What are you looking for in the women's fights that isn't there? I already know your answer, but I want to see you actually confirm it in front of everyone here.
