    Good social distancing being shown for most of this fight!

    I always find womens mma to either be really good or really ****e. There is no middle ground.

    Why isn't Esparza pushing in?? Catches Waterson and backs up right away

    Snoozefest! Step, step, pivot, step, step, punch air, punch air, step, step, jab, cross, kick, repeat for 4 minutes 30 seconds, Esparza tries takedown. Round ends.

    Safety fighter, if the takedown isn't there it's back off thinking

    I mean with 15 seconds left that's not a very good tactic to still be employing

    Edit before result: May work for her but I think MW gets it

    It's step, pause, pivot, pause, pivot, step, step

    Not step, pause, pivot, pause, pivot, step, pause!

    That's honestly up there with the dumbest fight IQ I've ever seen from a fighter. The hard job for the short fighter is to close the distance, but every time she done it she backed off twice as quick.

    I'm baffled but only watching UFC 2 years so feel like I still can't call decisions tbh - I felt it was Waterson's fight.

    Ah well, couldn't care less anyway :P

    I had Esparza there, Waterson landed nothing , no aggression, lots of nice moving about like a striker though.

    Esparza - scorecards were a bit odd with a 30-27 for each fighter!

    Combined age of 84 here.

    I remember how Randy used to get hounded every second of the day when he was 40 about "Father Time". Seems normal to still be fighting at 40 now.

    awful stuff after such a great fight, had a few quid on waterson pts....had no idea what way it went as I couldn't watch it all
    kinda knocked the wind outa me

    I've a feeling about oleinik here just from the weigh ins, his stand up ain't great and werdum has never been subbed and didn't look in great shape in my eyes

    not expecting much in terms of excitement though, could go the distance

    It's like a good story arc, don't want to climax too soon so need to slow it down in the middle.

    Oleinik deserved that one, definitely a lesser Werdum showed up tonight.

    Maybe not that bad, cowboy is a company guy I think they'll allow him him go further then he should to be more specific

    Really liking this no-crowd business.

    Not sure how I'll feel come the two main fights but I'm enjoying the more "intimate" state of the fights. Hearing the thuds, the corners etc.

    Exactly. Hate the constant "woos" from the crowd.

    Well I sure don't miss that fupping "wooing" crap that so many US crowds seem to love so much.

    i feel the crowd is badly missed, that price vs luque fight was a barn burner.

    I'm also thinking do the fighters react in the same way they would in the gym setting, in regards there relaxation temperament?
