Two women's fights added to July 14 UFC show

The UFC announced today through ESPN Radio in Boise that UFC Fight Night 133 will be July 14 at CenturyLink Arena in Boise, ID. Two women's bout were announced. Cat Zingano will face Marion Reneau at Bantamweight. And Liz Carmouche will face Jennifer Maia at Flyweight. Cat is 35 years old originally from Colorado but she now trains at Alliance in San Diego. Her record is 9-3 but she is currently on a three fight losing streak. Based on her recent loss to Ketlen Vieira, I think injuries have really slowed her down. Ketlen won by split decision but it probably should have been unanimous. Marion is 40 years old from Visalia, CA. Her record is 9-3-1. She's 4-2-1 in the UFC. At times she has looked good and at times she hasn't looked good. In her last fight against Sara McMann, Sara had an opportunity to finish in round one. But when she didn't, Marion turned it around with a second round rear naked choke. So it's possible that if Marion wins, she could get a title shot. Her inconsistency is her biggest problem. And sometimes she is inconsistent within the three rounds of the same fight. Of course Liz is a former Bantamweight title challenger who has dropped to Flyweight. In her latest fight, she lost by split decision to Alexis Davis. I don't think either of them looked very good. I think injuries have slowed Liz down. But I never thought she was an elite fighter anyway. Jennifer is the former Invicta Bantamweight Champion. This will be her UFC debut. Jennifer is 29 years old from Curitiba, Brazil. She trains at Chute Boxe which is where Cris Cyborg started out. Her record is 15-4-1. When I first heard of her in 2011, I wondered if she fought the Chute Boxe style like Cyborg. She doesn't. She was a boxer before she got into MMA and she still fights like a boxer. She has no power or ground game. So yeah, she's a dreaded points fighter. She hasn't lost since 2014. But her fights tend to be light sparring which is boring. It wouldn't surprise me if she eked out a win. But I'm not looking forward to it.
