    Mitchell was brilliant but Rosa's defense made it a great fight. You don't get points for that but his defense was pretty awesome.

    Sitting watching these prelims and somehow STILL paranoid that the card won't take place!

    Love watching Luque fight. Always a slugfest. Like an American/Spanish/Brazilian Michael Bisping

    Bryce Mitchell was absolutely clinical with that BJJ. So fluid in his transitions, incredible to watch. And he never stopped, he was busy for the full 15 minutes.

    This fight be will be very boring after the last fight with Michelle doing her level best to keep it on their feet and Carla trying to find a way to get it to the ground.

    Esparza's face during the introduction is freaky as fcuk to be stone cold all the time.

    They seem to be following isolation guidelines while fighting....

    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.
