if Silva wins the clinch fight Pennington's only hope is she gasses out because she aint beating her boxing to muay thai and she's not gonna outgrapple her.

Not sure why Silva is grappling though, I doubt she has stamina for 25 min grappling.

I don't mean to be a hater, but the skill level of this female BW division is honestly not great. I truly believe if anyone from the top 15 flyweights (with a few exceptions) move up, they can challenge for the title.

Raquel's corner are on her throat and I feel for them, she loses in the clinch but she keeps enganging there

This isn't as exciting as I hoped. But so far the curvy brazilian is just too strong, she can impose her will enough in the clinch to win rounds

And right as I say that, Rocky gets on top!

@gliese58i 
That's what I was banking on, but MBS is so opportunistic which makes her dangerous until the very end

The fact Mayra Bueno still has 0 wrestling is so funny.

Like her strength isn't bjj. Her coach must have her thinking she's Alex Pereira of the feet
