    I’m excited to see her debut. Anyone trying with the Kayla looks like comments should at least have their face in their profile image. Easy to talk about looks while hiding. Put some respect on her name. She’s achieved a lot and comes off as a great human more importantly. People are so shallow sometimes…shameless hiding the shadows like the little trolls that they are. At least she has real confidence unlike the clowns 🤡 that think their comics on a MMA channel.

I don’t see anyone beating Karla in the UFC if Karla makes weight, she almost to solid at 150, also PFL has the bigger ladies where she did have to cut weight, annnnd !!! Aspen Ladd gave Karla a run for money. That’s my fear for Holly is she has no ground game that I can see.

KAYLA also beat Larissa (the Brazilian you are speaking of) first, then Larissa edged out a win in their second fight. And also to say that Holly has no ground game is silly she has won multiple fights but using her grappling. Obviously she probably doesnt have the same grappling skills of a 2 time judo olympic gold medalist but to say she has no ground game is kinda silly. This is a great match up

I just don't see how they justify an event that you can watch at home for almost $100. People will find a way to watch it...and if you just made it easier to afford...people would rather pay a little to watch rather than stream it illegally and have to deal with the stream cutting out or freezing every 10 mins.
