I’d love to see her go to Rizin at 105. Waterson vs see her ham or Rena would be great.

Yeah. Fighting is actually a lot like training. 50:50 match ups give you the best results. If you're a novice hobbyist, you don't want to step in there with high level pros and get ragdolled and lit up every single sparring session. Either they hold back and baby you, which means they don't get much out of the sparring and are wasting their precious training time doing you a favor, or they spar normally. Which means you'll be a punching bag.
The ideal situation is a 50:50 training partner that you can't beat, and who can't beat you. That way you both progress and push each other, and improve optimally after each sparring session. Learning new movements is done during drilling, not sparring or fighting.
Ultimately, nobody is really "hard." Errol Spence is one of the toughest active boxers, he just flipped his car and put himself in the ICU. It doesn't matter how "tough" you are, a gorilla or a bear would tear you apart. And a bullet would end a gorilla as well.
If you wouldn't pick a fight with a gorilla, why would you pick a fight with a vastly superior fighter that will give you a 50-45 beating and take a bunch of your brain cells?
This sport is about knowing your own level and excelling on that level. Being an exciting, "tough" punching bag is just sacrificing your brain cells and health for the promoter's profit.
Felt for Michelle when Bisping mentioned she took a lot of damage. I felt like she was going to announce her retirement, but when Mike said that she on the spot was like F nah, I ain't going out like that. Hope she gets a nicer swan song than many. She's had a good enough run.
Pena leaves the door open, doesn't capitalize, loses a close decision. Complains about it.

I thought Pena edged it out, but maybe next time look hungrier than your opponent. This is not one to call robbery on.

I thought Pena won too but I actually think Meerschaert got screwed harder, even though I accept it wasn't a 'screwing' either.
I thought Meerschaert clearly won rounds 2 and 3.
Didn't watch it. If I am watching on delay I fast forward WMMA fights and stop it if it looks like hell freezes over and something interesting happens. If it's the main, then that's not necessary.@lordofthepies your thoughts on the main event?
Overall pretty entertaining card though. Better than the snorefest in my hometown.
