A guy from TUF 2 fighting a guy from TUF 4 in 2015. What a world.

Who was the goon that said this was a tune up fight for Moroz because lol.

I said I thought it was a weird matchup from a promotional point of view and to be honest I still kinda do because it basically killed any momentum she had from the Calderwood fight without really serving to boost Letourneau's profile all that much. Like basically after this fight you can sort of say ok, Moroz isn't all that great and Letourneau is OK (and Calderwood looks really bad). Whereas if they had matched her up with like, Randa Markos or Rose Namajunas then either one would have probably smashed her and would have gotten a lot more hype from it than Letourneau is gonna get.

I'm glad that ended quickly because I was fully expecting a mediocre 15 minute fight.

If this goes longer than 3 minutes I think Magny's got it.

My guess is that Oliveira is going to get boxed up and do the fainting goat routine again but if it goes to the ground it'll be interesting.

quote:

While the fighter was clearly hurt, the exact nature of the injury wasn’t immediately clear. However, a UFC PR official, as well as Dr. Jeff Davidson, a UFC medical consultant who worked the event, today told MMAjunkie that Oliveira suffered a micro-tear of his esophagus in the fight.

That's a new one.
