Bad card but the main and co-main are a great 1-2 punch. I could see DDP knocking out, maybe choking out Strickland. I guess I'm kind of hoping for Weili but that one is a toss up, could go either way.
 
Alright, Tati. I picked you to be champ by the end of the year for what feels like a decade. Now's your time.

As far as the fight goes, I really don't know. Weili is obviously the better striker, but she has a TDD of 50% and hasn't fought a wrestler of Suarez's caliber. She can handle herself on the ground, too, so it's not like she has to avoid it at all costs, but obviously would prefer to keep it standing, I imagine. It's a great matchup. I'm gonna go Suarez by sub, mainly because I can't abandon her now. I'm still a Weili fan, though, so won't be upset either way. Just hope for a good, clean, no controversy fight.

Judging by their previously fight, DDP-Strickland are obviously evenly matched, but, at the risk of underestimating Strickland yet again, I'm taking DDP. Just more ways to win. I think finishing Izzy will be a huge confidence boost for him.

The rest of this card is doodoo.

Weili has been inviting the ground game lately, 13 minutes of control time vs Xionan and 16 minutes vs Lemos. I definitely see this fight going to the ground at some point. I'd be happy to see either win though if I'm being honest.

UFC gods: it's a draw.

For sure. She's well rounded, but Suarez ain't Xionan or Lemos. I think the more it stays standing the better her odds.
