Two more women's matches added to Aug. 10 UFC show

Today the UFC announced several matches for UFC on ESPN+ 14 Aug. 10 at the Antel Arena in Montevideo, Uruguay. There was already one women's match I wrote about last week. Two more matches were added. At Strawweight, we have Tecia Torres vs Marina Rodriguez. And at Flyweight, we have Rachael Ostovich vs Veronica Macedo. I guess Tecia is a gatekeeper at this point. After losing to Weili Zhang in her last fight, she certainly isn't a contender anymore. I always thought she was overrated anyway. I wouldn't be surprised if she retires soon because she has a degree in law enforcement. She lives in Colorado with Raquel Pennington. We should get a handle on if Marina is any good. She's 32 years old from Brazil. She was on the Brazilian Dana White Contender Series. Her first UFC fight was a draw vs Randa Markos. And then she beat Jessica Aguilar by unanimous decision. Jessica has since been released. I don't think she's good enough to even be a gatekeeper. So this fight should tell us more about Marina's potential. Rachael and Veronica are both pretty bad. Rachael is 28 years old from Hawaii. I didn't like her when she was in Invicta. But she's hot. Then she was in TUF 26. She's 1-2 in the UFC and she has really looked bad in her losses. I know fans have sympathy for her since her husband/trainer assaulted her. But she's a terrible fighter. Veronica is also terrible. She's 23 years old originally from Venezuela but she lives in France. She came to the UFC in 2016 as a late replacement at Bantamweight. But she also lost her two fights at Flyweight. And she has had two fights cancelled due to injury. So I don't think either fighter belongs in the UFC.
