Hannah Cifers posted on Instagram that she will face Jodie Esquibel at UFC 241 Aug. 17 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. This fight is at Strawweight. I don't think either fighter belongs in the UFC. Hannah is 26 years old from Oxford, NC. Her record is 9-3 and 1-1 in the UFC. Supposedly Hannah is a hard puncher. She had five TKO or KO finishes in regional MMA. She came to the UFC as a late replacement and lost by TKO to Maycee Barber. So maybe she'll be better if she has a full camp. Nope. Hannah won by split decision over Polyana Viana but it was a terrible fight and neither fighter looked good. Jodie is 33 years old. Her record is 6-5 and 0-3 in the UFC. She trains at Jackson Wink in New Mexico. I thought she was awful when she was in Invicta. After losing in the first round of TUF 23, the UFC didn't sign her. But she was needed at for a short notice fight in 2017 and she has lost all three of her fights by unanimous decision. I'm surprised she wasn't released. Jodie is an ineffective points fighter. She doesn't do enough to win fights. The question is can Hannah show some of the potential that she showed in regional MMA. Or is the competition level in the UFC too high for her. I expect the loser to go on a one way trip to Palookaville.
