What a god damn shit show this card was.
Here's wikipedia:
At the weigh-ins Michel Prazeres weighed in at 161 pounds, 5 pounds over the lightweight non title fight upper limit of 156 pounds. As a result, the bout proceeded at catchweight and Prazeres was expected to be fined 20% of his purse which will go to his opponent Desmond Green. If he wins, he also would forfeit 20 percent of his win bonus. Pedro Munhoz also missed weight, 4 pounds over the bantamweight non title fight upper limit of 136 pounds. In turn, his bout against former UFC Flyweight Championship challenger and The Ultimate Fighter: Team Bisping vs. Team Miller bantamweight winner John Dodson was pulled from the card after Dodson declined to take the fight. Meanwhile, Prazeres was supposed to weigh a maximum of 173 pounds on the night of the event for the fight to proceed as scheduled, but he weighed in at 180 pounds. Despite that, Green still accepted the fight and Prazeres will now give 40% of his purse.
THEN, our Co-Main Event is one of the worst bookings I've ever seen. Total strikes for Valentina was like 230 to 3. And then Dana White goes apeshit over the ref?
Priscilla Cachoeira, you showed so much heart and toughness in that fight. I’m honored to have you fight in the UFC. Unfortunately the ref is there to protect you and Mario DID NOT do that. This isn’t his first disgusting performance in the octagon. Another unfortunate thing is that i can’t do anything about I️t only the Brazilian commission can and i am hoping after this scary, incompetent showing he hopefully will never set foot in that Octagon again. Strikes landed was 230-3.
Fuck you Dana. You took a girl off the street and in her UFC debut, put her up against the #1 ranked fighter in the WBW division that fucking piece of shit goof. Don't go blaming the ref because a one-sided fight that had Valentine as a god damn -900 Vegas odds favorite was, uh, ONE SIDED you fucking moron.
