Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Macy Chiasson vs Sarah Moras

Here's the match video of Macy Chiasson vs Sarah Moras from last night's UFC show in Ottawa. Leah Letson was supposed to be Sarah's opponent. But she pulled out and was replaced by Macy. I think she's a better fighter than Leah. Macy won TUF 28 for Featherweights but she won her last fight at Bantamweight. She had some difficulty making weight for this fight. But her trainer Sayif Saud of Fortis MMA in Houston pointed out that Macy took this fight on short notice. Having seen Macy since her Invicta days, she could be an elite fighter. Sarah is from Kelowna, BC. She was on TUF 18. She has had injuries. She has wrestling skills but her striking is subpar. Plus Macy is much taller. So Sarah goes for a takedown right at the start of round one. She has top position for most of the round. But Macy defends well and at the end of the round she reverses it and lands with ground and pound. I scored the round 10-9 for Sarah for ground control. But by the end of round one, I thought she was in trouble. And sure enough, Macy reverses a round two takedown attempt and pounds Sarah until the fight is stopped. Macy won a $50K bonus. I already like Macy a lot. She says she will fight at Bantamweight for now but she says she also plans to fight at Featherweight. This could be the end of the road for Sarah. Enjoy the video!

  1. Frank.., I can see why you like Macy so much. She is very good. You are right to keep an eye on her in future fights. She is vicious and tough and good. Good pick there Frank.
