    If Dana is smart, he'll help keep Invicta afloat to have a legit junior league for women to fight in and to get younger female fighters experience before being ready for the UFC.
    The gutting will level out now that the 115lbs division is being established IMO.

    Who I want to win:

    No. 7 Felice Herrig (Team Pettis) vs. No. 14 Randa Markos (Team Pettis) -- GO CANADA.. and Herrig has been aloof to say the least.
    No. 4 Jessica Penne (Team Pettis) vs. No. 5 Aisling Daly (Team Pettis) -- Aisling is very straightforward and amirable. There's just something I like about her personality. Penne has left little to no impression on me so far.
    No. 1 Carla Esparza (Team Pettis) vs. No. 3 Tecia Torres (Team Pettis) -- tough for me to have a favorite, but I liked Carla's fight more.
    No. 2 Joanne Calderwood (Team Pettis) vs. No. 7 Rose Namajunas (Team Melendez) -- How can you not root for both of these fighters? I can't pick one as a personal fav... just want a good fight.

    I think Herrig, Penne, Carla and Calderwood win.

    I have been enjoying this season a lot. been a while since I cared or watched TUF.

    Randa Markos steamrolls Felice Herring in the first quarter-finals, defeating her in about a minute with a scissor-lock armbar, advancing to face the winner of JoJo Calderwood/Thug Rose

    I haven't been watching the show but I guess a lot of the girls are coming off as bullies (according to MMA.tv), including former fan favourites Felice Herring and Bec Rawlings, Angela Magana, and odds-on favourite Carla Esparza.

    This has been the best season in a while I think. I haven't watched the last 5-6 seasons at all but I've enjoyed it so far. Once the prelim fights were done and it was 7-1 in favor of pettis, things got bad because ppl who were going to fight each other were training together and it bothered some ppl who didn't want opponents seeing their training and others just wanted more training time etc.
    I kinda liked how they ranked the fighters and set up a march madness board, but the outcome was ppl knew who they were going to fight so the bitching and pettines started.

    It did make Markos's win over Herrig that much more enjoyable as it was her they were primairly mocking.

    Was it an upset? JoJo Calderwood submitted by Thug Rose. Rose advances to face Roudy Randa Markos.
