It's so dumb the Eubanks blew her chance. Namely because she showed she could cut weight intelligently with actual help.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.

Who else in TUF has hosed him/herself over in the finals like this? I can think of two: JT$ and that European guy who lied on some paperwork and wasn’t allowed in the US, paving the way for Ryan Hall to molest a T Rex.

She's a loving idiot and it serves her right. That guy showed her everything she needed to do before the Roxy fight but she's just dense as gently caress.

Gaethje said he should have followed his gut choice and picked her to fight his team first on the show as she came into the tournament weighing 155 lbs and she would have learned her lesson there.

Everyone has made weight so far. Holloway needed the towel; Gaejthe was one of the people holding it for him lol

Holloway looked really rough on the scale, then Gaethje ran onto the scale and looked like he had barely cut any weight.

Roxanne Modafferi stands to win more money tonight than she's earned in her entire career as her show and win works out to 100k/100k. And apparently her contract even if she loses is 50k/50k going forward so good for her. I only learned about this because Tim Elliott is complaining about this on Instagram.

The downside of Roxy becoming champion is she will get mauled by whichever established 115er/135er who changes weight to fight her. :smith:

She's shown quite a lot of growth in her game since she was on TUF 18 and is probably at the peak of her career at the moment. She could definitely be out in the next couple years though depending on how the UFC run goes.

Roxy is cool and good because she's a reminder of how in this world of prejudice and cronyism that occasional grim, dogged determination and a positive attitude actually can get someone to the top of the heap, no matter how stacked the game is against her.
