I can totally believe it. UFC has always been a bush league operation.

The question that NEEDED to be asked. "how do you feel about the top organization in the world spelling your name wrong as a hometown headliner?"

[@kangjhha]

Manon so strong,, hope she comes thru

[@wilykat]

She's tough but not championship material.

[@Manesson]

​@@wilykatErin or Manon ?

[@bnegs521]

Her stand up issues are her jab is completely lacking, her right hand is looping and her head movement is poor. That being said i hope she wins Saturday. But she has to watch the Manon head kicks

[@curtf9813]

The thing about people who are super grapple heavy is that they can have a lot of success in striking all while being the worse striker. Take Islam for example. He would not be great at kickboxing but he ko’d Volk in their last fight and he dropped Volk in their first fight. Khabib also dropped Conor. Manon will be hesitant to throw high kicks in fear of being taken down (which will limit her game), Manon will be very defensive minded and focused on movement and not getting stuck on the cage, and Manon could lower her hands to defend a takedown when Erin is actually dipping into a big overhand

[@bnegs521]

@curtf9813 you make good points I agree. Erin's never been great at catching kicks but I hope she has been practicing that in training

Why do UFC reporters think that Jersey is just an extension of New York City? For example that made a big deal of Aljo being booed in Newark, NJ. I am a Jersey kid and trust me we have love for our Phila and NYC "cousins" but its always Jersey pride first!

I called the fight exactly how it happened, I tried to Tell Erin, exactly what was going to happen in the fight and i am so disappointed she lost.

[@BTRshow]

Erin is not getting that title shot unless valentina wins. If valentina lose, she will cry "fluke" and just get another title shot

[@bartekgorniak5758]

No way that fight will be shorter than 25 minutes. Erin with her gas tank will slowly destroying Manon, but Manon isnt weak. That will be hard fight, hope Erin will eat her like she did it to Taila. Erin is like Merab.
