Awful fight, probably the wrong decision but no one was a winner there. UFC stats say Machado had the significant striking advantage in every round, 22-16, 22-12, and 32-21. Total significant strikes were 79 to 49 for Machado.

Rose is too small for 125, she just doesn't have the strength to compete with some of these grapplers. Obviously has the skill but gets overpowered.
In this fight I think Rose won the first 2 rounds and lost the next 3. She won the 3 round fight and lost the 5 round fight.
Uninspiring performance from Blanchfield.

I think we should give credit to Blanchfield for the comeback and stuff, but yea don't see Rose being a champ at this weight class. Especially if she's not training with Whitman.

I would love to give credit to Blanchfield but I don't think she did very much deserving of credit. She had some brief success on the feet but beyond that she held someone down who she had a strength advantage over. The 4th round was a good display of MMA by Blanchfield, winning a close round over a former champion but it seemed like she just kind of wanted to kill the clock in the 3rd and 5th rounds. She worked towards the crucifix in the 5th but couldn't do anything with it. The two rounds that she clearly won, she did so without inflicting any damage or going for any submissions.
Blanchfield fights the way that gets you a title fight as a PPV co-main. No one will want to pay to see Blanchfield fight if that's how she has to win fights ... In my opinion.

Virtually flawless performance by Moreno. Looked fantastic for almost every minute of the fight, that's how you fight if you want to earn a title shot, the rest of the organization needs to take note.

Not a good event overall but give credit to the finishers + Moreno. Blanchfield did a nice job to battle back after looking pretty bad in the first 2 rounds.
It would be cool to see Jourdain and Zahabi get some bigger names in their next fights. Canadian MMA is looking rough these days, need to get someone on the map and those two deserve a fun opponent at 135. Jasmine too for that matter.

Very bad fighter who got in shape but is still a very bad fighter
Feel for Armfield (and myself, who had 3 separate parlays killed by that robbery). You know it’s bad when the opponent says he thought he lost at the post-fight presser. Sidey gained a fan in me for that honesty
Moreno beat the f*** out Albazi
Blanchfield is too much dog for Rose.
