I thought I saw somewhere Mokaev calling out Schnell. Don't know if it's legit, or if whether quick return Mokaev will even be ready with all these injuries he keeps rushing through

This is a good card to have Brandon Moreno co-main or headline. If he headlines have a female belt up for the co-main.

I think Lemos probably deserves it more than other Strawweights but I wouldn't be surprised if they gave Roae the trilogy cause she has bigfer name value. There are significant problems with that idea, namely the fact that Rose is up 2-0 already and she's coming off a loss where she stared at her opponent for 25 minutes and thinks she did enough to win.

Maverick was pretty underwhelming against Shanna Young, and Jasudavicius just showed out against a pretty good female prospect. I expect Maverick to to lose decisively.

The problem with most of low level WMMA can be summed up in one word - unreliability.
No matter how much tape I watch on them, I can never count on most to perform strategically optimal every time (this doesn't apply to the few ladies who are actually good)

Not sure the validity of the report since it’s April fools, but wonderboy vs Michel periera in the works for this card. It would line up with when Thompson said he wanted to return
