Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Loopy Godinez vs Elise Reed

Here's the fight video of Loopy Godinez vs Elise Reed from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Strawweight. Loopy was supposed to fight Sam Hughes. Elise was supposed to fight Cynthia Calvillo. After Sam and Cynthia pulled out, this fight was eventually put together. Loopy is 30 years old. She was born in Mexico but she trains in Coquitlam, BC. For this camp, she trained at Lobo in Guadalajara, Mexico with Alexa Grasso. Her UFC record is 5-3. Elise is 30 years old. She trains at Kickside Martial Arts in Princeton, NJ. Her UFC record is 3-3. I don't believe she belongs in the UFC. So though I'm not crazy about Loopy, I expected her to win easily. Loopy won round one 10-8. She should have got a finish with an armbar but Elise wouldn't tap out. But in round two, Loopy got the win with a rear naked choke. There's no question Elise is tough. But she's a lousy fighter and I would not be surprised to see her released this week. As for Loopy, until she beats a ranked fighter, I'm not sold on her. The UFC likes her because like Angela Hill, she'll take short notice fights. This fight didn't help. Enjoy the video!
