Last night the UFC confirmed that Angela Magana vs Amanda Bobby Cooper has been added to UFC 218 Dec. 2 at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit. I think Amanda announced this match on Instagram. I expect this match to air on the UFC Fight Pass prelims. The fan reaction to this on Twitter is fans can't believe that Angela still works for the UFC. She hasn't won a fight since 2011. These days she's better known for posting inappropriate things on Twitter and incurring Cris Cyborg's wrath leading Cris punching Angela at the UFC fighter retreat in Las Vegas. Angela went to the police but it doesn't look like there will be assault charges laid. Angela has been around a long time. Her record is 11-8. She lives and trains in Thailand. But I think injuries slowed her down before she was part of TUF 20. I guess her over the top personality got her into the UFC. But her UFC record is 0-3. The last time we saw her she lost to Michelle Waterson July 2015. Amanda isn't much better. She's a Michigan native. Her record is 2-3 and she's 1-2 in the UFC. She has a fan following because of her looks. But I don't think she's a very good fighter. I didn't like her when she was in Invicta. Amanda lost to Tatiana Suarez in the TUF 23 final. Then she beat Anna Elmose who was promptly released. And then Amanda was choked out by the debuting Cynthia Calvillo in the first round. So both fighters could be on the chopping block.
