Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Jessica Eye vs Kalindra Faria

Here's the match video of Jessica Eye vs Kalindra Faria from last night's UFC show in St. Louis. This aired on the UFC Fight Pass prelims. The big thing here is that Jessica gets to fight at Flyweight which was her weight class before she came to the UFC. She was supposed to fight Paige VanZant a few months ago. But Paige got injured and then when the UFC tried to rebook the fight for this show, Paige refused to do it. So Jessica was pissed. Both fighters were on this show fighting other fighters. The good news for Jessica is that Kalindra may be the most inept fighter I have ever seen. She came to the UFC as a late replacement and lost. I had seen her before and she's terrible. But in the first round, she knocked Jessica loopy with a head kick. All she had to do was finish and I'd take all that ineptitude stuff back. But she couldn't finish and they engaged in a pointless leglock battle that allowed Jessica to recover. I scored round one 10-9 for Kalindra. But she already blew a win. Jessica controlled Kalindra on the ground in round two. This is something new for her. So she knows how to execute a takedown but she doesn't know what to do after the takedown. She ended up sitting on Kalindra for a while. I can't say why ref Dan Miragliotta didn't break it up. Oh, that's right. He is also inept. In the end, Jessica won by split decision. And then after the fight, she bragged about winning with empty takedowns. So we had two fighters, a ref and three judges who are all inept. What more can I say? Check out the fight for yourself.
