Katlyn Chookagian vs Jennifer Maia added to Nov. 2 UFC show

Ryan Gerbosi of Newsday in Long Island reported this morning that Katlyn Chookagian vs Jennifer Maia has been added to UFC 244 Nov. 2 at Madison Square Garden in New York City. I expect whoever wins this fight to get a Flyweight title shot. But I also expect this fight to be a snoozer. I would prefer neither to get a title shot. Katlyn is 30 years old originally from Philadelphia but she now lives in Long Island. Her record is 12-2 and 5-2 in the UFC. Mark Henry has taught her this keep away fighting style that is designed to win close decisions. So if her opponent dances around with her, Katlyn has a good chance of winning the fight. The fight can go the other way too and Jessica Eye beat her by split decision and got the title shot. In her last fight, she beat Joanne Calderwood. And Katlyn has been trying to get a title shot ever since. Of course the UFC knows her fighting style is boring so they gave the title shot to Liz Carmouche who performed worse that Katlyn would have. Jennifer is 30 years old from Curitiba, Brazil. Her record is 17-5-1 and 2-1 in the UFC. She is a former Invicta Flyweight Champion. Jennifer is a boxer but she has no power and she's not very aggressive. Neither of them have finished a fight since 2016. I am expecting a dull fight with three rounds of light sparring ending with a split decision. I believe fighters should deliver exciting and entertaining fights and these two don't do that.
