You're mean

OK.

Should be a pretty fun fight but... I mean... I'm not so sure it's a title fight.

MacFarlane is 5-0 in the division and Ducote is 4-1.

MacFarlane is 5-0 in the division and Ducote is 4-1.

That doesn't really help your case. It's a fine fight. Just like the first time they fought.

But it's just not a good fight for a title on a big stage.

It's the best fight for the title they can put on at this point in the division's very short history. Letourneau hasn't debuted yet, and Yankova would be getting it based more on her looks than what skill she's shown in the cage so far.

MacFarlane is 5-0 in the division and Ducote is 4-1.

Macfarlane is pretty fun to watch too, plus she's not bad on the eyes.

If you want some for the eyes then go watch porno.

It's a good fight. The first one was good, and with the lack of depth in this young division, this rematch is well suited for the inaugural title fight.

If you hate WMMA, you're probably not going to give a fuck in the first place.

Otherwise, this is a perfectly reasonable title fight. MacFarlane is 5-0 in Bellator and has more than proven herself. Ducote isn't ideal since MacFarlane has a win over her, but that's Ducote's only loss in Bellator and she's only 23, so she should still be on an upswing in her career.

I'm fine with this as an inaugural title fight.

I'll call shenanigans if they try and force Anastasia Yankova or Lena Ovchynnikova into an unearned title shot while benching better fighters. Meanwhile please get Valerie Letourneau and Colleen Schneider some fights.
