Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Mara Romero Borella vs Kalindra Faria

Here's the match video of Mara Romero Borella vs Kalindra Faria from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. This was on the main card but at least it should have been moved to the prelims. But really when Andrea Lee was forced out due to a previous positive drug test, the fight should have been scrapped and Kalindra's UFC contract cancelled. Having seen her before, she doesn't belong in the UFC. Being a late replacement is the only way the UFC books her and that was as a warm body to face Andrea Lee. And yes, I have seen Kalindra's record. It's heavily padded with Brazilian regional fights. She has failed miserably each time she has fought outside Brazil. Mara is from Italy but she trains at American Top Team in Florida. We saw her in Invicta in July. She won but she wasn't impressive. This fight was at Flyweight. The fight went as I expected. Mara took Kalindra down and it took a couple of minutes but she won with a rear naked choke. Kalindra couldn't even help herself. In an attempt to cage walk, she positioned herself farther away from the cage. So it wasn't so much that Mara was impressive but that Kalindra is inept. We'll see what happens when Mara faces a better level of competition. A win against a terrible opponent tells me nothing. Here's the video!
