The UFC finally confirmed that there will be a PPV Feb. 8 at the Toyota Center in Houston. It will probably be called UFC 247. Valentina Shevchenko will defend her UFC Flyweight Championship against Katlyn Chookagian. In another Flyweight bout, Andrea Lee will face Lauren Murphy. Katlyn has two chances to win this fight, slim and none. And slim just left town. Her keepaway fighting style works against crappy points fighters like Jennifer Maia. I can't see her getting away with that crap for five rounds against Valentina. She is lucky that the division is very shallow and she hasn't had to fight anyone good. Her one loss as a Flyweight was by split decision to Jessica Eye. And that could have gone either way. And we all saw what Valentina did to Jessica. I expect the same thing in this fight. Andrea's calling card is sex appeal and charisma. She is an ineffective points fighter who lost her last fight by split decision to Joanne Calderwood. Lauren is very similar. So I expect fifteen minutes of light sparring and a split decision. I don't care who wins because neither of them are any good.
