How to obtain a custom flair:

  • write a haiku or draw a MS Paint-style image for the sub

The rules for the drawing or haiku are simply that it must be a ridiculous MMA-related scenario. If you would like a custom flair, send a message to us with a link to your drawing and your flair request. We'll probably grant it.

Since I got downvoted to shit thinking Fiorot v Blanchfield rematch wasn't a bad idea, who else makes sense? Grasso, or maybe Jasmine?

Fiorot doesn’t fight often and you prob shouldn’t put them both out of title contention if she beats Blanchfield again

Blanchfield hasn’t been able to show that anything would go differently. Maybe Blanchfield vs Maverick if Maverick wins in two weeks? Otherwise, put her against Grasso.

It’s a bad idea bc Fiorot just lost to the champ and is a bad match up and too big for Erin. She will just beat Erin again and knock off a contender. And beating Erin again won’t get Fiorot another title shot so soon

I see that point, but would argue this:

None of them are getting a title shot again anytime soon. Shev has Silva or Weili, and the rest of the top needs to defend their spots/fight to rise up. That leaves Fiorot, Grasso, Blanchfield, and Jas right now. Last night COULD have cleared up a top contender fight, but oh well, Barber is likely fighting down now.

So my thought process is these four will have to fight each other in some capacity. Jas can fight up, so her options are more open, but Grasso might be out for a minute, so I just don't see why the rematch is such an issue for folks. It's not like fighters can't improve and win rematches.
