Her flyweight title. Against lauren murphy. And a lot of people just feel like bouncing to go in there and just steamroller and murphy i. Lauren is a maga. she's alive dog. But i think she i think she gives valentina a little bit of a tougher fight than people think. She's just a she likes to make fights dirty and grimy. i think that's i think valentine will win. I'm not gonna go crazy. But i feel like lauren is going to be more competitive than people think. Of course the rematch. Seventeen years in the making robbie lawler versus nick diaz five rounds non-title only the second time this has happened in ufc history. We've got curtis blades versus giardina roseanne. Strike just on. Drudge versus cynthia. Caviar huge pfeiffer. Cynthia cavallo i.
