Dana didn't look very happy with the 2 new champions. Not as marketable.

That would be just what the UFC needed if RDA tested positive. Pettis keeps the belt with a NC, but everyone knows he lost.

I love watching Joanna fight. She reminds me of a minuscule female version of JdS! Loved how she picked apart the one dimensional Carla (who had no answers).

Pettis will be back. I agree with everybody saying Dana didn't look happy. I bet he was banking on Pettis being his next pay-per-view money grabbing go-getter and Saturday night's upset put a damper on things.

Yeah, Dos Anjos cant headline a PPV at this point unless its against Cerrone and Cerrone would be the draw. Also, if Khabib wins that is guaranteed to be a Fox fight. Big picture, the UFC isnt in bad shape. Rousey, Weidman, Cain and Jones are decent draws. If Lesnar comes back thats would be big. Plus its not like Pettis is ruined. They just have to build him up.

I disagree with p-rushing saying he was upset about Joanna winning. I think Dana is ecstatic about that. Joanna is a great striker who looked great Saturday. I think people walked away from that fight wanting to see her next fight. While she isnt a looker, neither is someone like Cyborg and people enjoy her destroying other women.

I agree with that and I actually think she would be great to hang out with and seems like someone who would be a great for the UFC if she spoke better English or didn't look like a drug addict after cutting weight and fighting. She may help the European market some, but I just don't she her reaching non-MMA fans.

Her English will come along and I think the Europe thing is big especially Poland which has a huge MMA fan base. We cant expect everyone to be Rousey. In fact the only people in that division who could have a Rousey like effect are Rose and Paige. Both of them would get murdered if they walked into the cage with Joanna right now.

Joanna is so fun to watch. I felt bad for Esparza but kind of saw it coming because she eats $1000 sundaes.

I was glad to see her take a beating. I was sick of her complaining about not getting a Reebok deal and her fight being under promoted. She is a one trick pony and she finally faced someone with elite striking and decent takedown defense.
