Turn on Fight Pass right now to watch this! The flyweight title is on the line and the fight has to be better than the last time I saw Hashi fight, because her fight for the Strikeforce title was one of the worst I've ever seen.

Main card (UFC Fight Pass at 9 p.m. ET)
Barb Honchak vs. Takayo Hashi
Mizuki Inoue vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz
Kaitlin Young vs. Raquel Pa'aluhi
Jodie Esquibel vs. Nicdali Rivera-Calanoc
Amber Brown vs. Liz McCarthy
Amanda Bell vs. Maria Hougaard Djursaa
Andrea Lee vs. Shannon Sinn
Jenny Lou Shriver vs. Jamie Moyle
Kelly McGill vs. Maegan Goodwin

I don't know much about these fighters but it is fighting on our computers and we know what happens when we go too long without fighting.

i know i shouldn't expect much from 0-0 vs 1-0 but this looks like a light sparring session where you both agree to just mostly focus on footwork, except if you were getting paid to do that you'd probably show some drat good footwork and better useless low kick feints

McGill should figure out distance because her punches are always like 2 feet short unless she runs straight into clinch range.

I usually look at these more like a chance to see a side of the sport that we don't get when just watching the big leagues or even the male b-leagues that get streams and stuff together. It's kind of neat to see what the sport looks like when the athletes are at this lower point of development.

And we have blood!

Anyway, that being said, I know a trio of 17 year old female boxers who are a whole order of magnitude better on the feet than either of these two.

But, on the other hand, we have blood.

I'm surprised there aren't more Alexa Grassos and Irene Aldanas in the sport, fighters with more of a boxing pedigree. MMA boxing kind of sucks and WMMA boxing is 10 times worse.

It's because women's boxing is wide open and super exciting at the amateur level right now. Any of these 17-25 year old female athletes who are good strikers are aiming for the Olympics (London was the first Olympic games that included womens boxing, so it has really only been developing that long).

Give it two years, and there will be a pile of Elite National runners-up who will have accepted that they'll never make the Olympics. They'll start picking up jits and we'll see some real wmma ex-boxers who entered the sport to get a payday.

In the last round she was using her ponytail to paint blood all over her opponents face, a proud warrior tradition that should be rewarded.

It was especially awkward at the last event when she was interviewing fighters and they were like "uhh I don't know, you tell me who I'm fighting next. That's your job, right?"
