Here's the fight video of Marina Rodriguez vs Michelle Waterson-Gomez from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This fight is at Strawweight. Marina won when these two fought a couple of years ago. A rematch seems unnecessary. Marina is 36 years old. She trains at Thai Brasil in Florianopolis, Brazil. The head coach is Marcio Malko. She's a striker. She is 6-3-2 in the UFC. She's ranked but she lost her last two fights. So a win could get her back in the title hunt. Michelle is 37 years old. She trains at Jackson Wink in New Mexico. She is 6-7 in the UFC and she's on a three fight losing streak. Why is she on the main card? Well, she's still a popular fighter. But she's getting old and it may be time to retire. And she's giving up a lot of size to Marina. Marina dominated in round one to the point where I thought the fight should have been stopped. And she did get a TKO finish in round two. Of course Marina thinks this gets her back in the title picture. I don't know if she can beat any of the top contenders. She had her chance and failed. I don't see how this win makes things different. Enjoy the video!
