Taila Santos vs Ashlee Evans-Smith added to Aug. 10 UFC

Raphael Marinho of Combate reported last night that Taila Santos vs Ashlee Evans-Smith has been added to UFC on ESPN+ 14 Aug. 10 at Antel Arena in Montevideo, Uruguay. This fight as at Flyweight. My guess is we'll see a lot of Brazilians on this show. Taila is 25 years old from Santa Catarina, Brazil. She trains at Astra Fight Team. She was on the Brazilian Dana White's Contender Series. Her record is 15-1 and she lost her UFC debut to Mara Romero Borella by split decision. Taila is a striker. She lost because she allowed Mara to tie her up in the clinch on the fence. And it's not like Mara is a worldbeater. Ashlee is 31 years old from Lake Forest, CA. She is a teammate of Carla Esparza at Team Oyama. Her record is 6-4 and 3-4 in the UFC. She is 1-1 as a Flyweight. Like Carla, Ashlee was a wrestler in college. She has been a disappointment. She hasn't looked good even when she has won. And she has had injury problems. In her last fight, Andrea Lee just outworked her and won the first two rounds. And then her corner lied to her and told her she was doing OK. By the time she got her act together in round three, it was too late. Maybe Ashlee is on the chopping block. As you can tell, I don't think much of either fighter.
