Nico made very short work of Zoila. Zouila was trying to do her defence thing, but Nico was getting through and getting things done. Can anyone think of someone IRL who came and went as fast as Nico? Breakout champion on TUF, too sick to fight next fight, get stripped of belt, forced to move up in weight, gets shredded, carreer over? Like, from Champ to nothing before she even champed? I don’t know. But what I do know, is both fighters are definitely looking a little pale.
