Piechota disappointed me. I thought for sure he's weather the storm and wear out this dude for a finish later on, but Soriano has some power.

Love watching Viviane Araujo. Footwork and boxing is so good. I am more surprised she isnt a larger favorite over Eye

As much as we can meme and poke fun at Jessica Eye for (from what I can tell) to be an actually terrible person, UFC sticking her as the 2nd prelim right after she had a title fight speaks volumes on how much Zuffa seems holds her as an after the thought asset rather than a star.

Literally all he had to do was take it back down to the mat, but instead decides to stand up and trade in space and get floored by the same punch that dropped him the first time.

Cuuuut!

Pretty surprised to see Jessica has 24% on here, we'll see how the fight plays out obviously, but I don't see her having any advantage over Araujo whatsoever. Honestly thought she'd maybe have 10% at best...

Eye's looking impressive, especially considering she's coming off one of the worst KO's in the history of MMA.
