This weekend.

PFL featherweights. Senna van der Veerdonk. She’s pretty good. I like her name. Will watch tonight.

Bellator. Alejandra Lara. She has the talent to get it done. Her walkouts are cool.

UFC. Ji Yeon Kim. Time for Kim to earn an emphatic victory.
 
PFL Challenger Series Women's Featherweights this evening was a lotta fun. Free on FuboSportsNetwork & easy to watch.

Amanda Leve vs. Naranjargal Tsendayush. UD 29-28 for Leve, who looked good on the feet and in grappling.
Jeslen Mishelle vs. Evelyn Martins. Round one was a rock'em sock'em slugfest. In round 2 Martins won by RNC.
Karolina Sobek vs. Senna van der Veerdonk. Sobek dominated and won by first round KO.
Michelle Montague vs. Shaquita Amador Woods. Back and forth scrambles. Montague won by second round RNC.

PVZ and some in the PbP felt all five winners should get a contract. Martins is only 20 and looked great but she missed weight which was a factor. Celebrity judges (Couture, PVZ & Woodley) picked Montague. Fans via online poll picked Leve. So It went to PFL President of Operations. He picked Amanda Leve. Says he considered who would be more likely to make it through the season.

Just watched. It was fun, but the person they gave the contract to was completely bogus.

Did they make you sign up for a free trial?
 
Here’s hoping Montague gets picked by the UFC instead
Montague definitely has a Future...
I really got impressed on How she survived all those submission attempts and ended with a sub herself.

The mongolian girl (her name is kinda hard to spell) seems to also be a good prospect with the right training.

For me, It seemed that she got afraid to grapple after the results of the First round
 


Bellator denied us of this live, then spend the last 30 minutes of the prelim show on nothing but promo vids, then wonder why they don’t do better numbers

They also forgot to properly incentivize the fighters to grapple and get into questionable positions on the ground.

Thoughts. Avsaragova is way too rigid of a fighter, she gets stuck in a pattern and just rides it into the ground. When Lara started mixing things up a bit in the 2nd and putting longer combos together, Diana kept doing the same thing and got further & further behind. She kept doing the circle out to reset and then just waited for Lara to throw at her so she could use her right straight counter, and once Lara figured that out she was able to mix things up and add more volume which allowed her to start landing consistently. Diana on the other hand kept waiting and by the 3rd she couldn't find good openings for her right hand.

So, good adjustment by Lara, decision is ok since the 2nd round was really close. Diana needs to start using her kicks & wrestling, her wrestling's good and her kicks aren't bad but she barely uses those skills. She had some good left kicks off her punches in the 1st, then she just stopped kicking. Also needs to learn how to lead instead of just waiting & countering.
 
Cortez in her post relationship, “show him what he’s missing” phase.



i don’t like Ortega, but he dodged a bullet
 


I think she has the right to be angry. But then, so do the other girls who got finishes (maybe minus Martins, who missed weight). That they chose the lone fighter to win by decision that night does make it seem like it was planned all along, which make it a waste of everyone else’s time.
