Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Montana De La Rosa vs Mara Romero Borella

Here's the match video of Montana De La Rosa vs Mara Romero Borella from last night's UFC show in New Mexico. This fight is at Flyweight. I guess the big deal here is that Montana and her husband Mark are the first married couple to appear on a UFC show. Both fighters have had mixed results on the lower mid card. Montana is mainly a wrestler. And when Mara's striking gives her trouble early in round one, Montana takes her down and much of the first two rounds sees her in top position. Mara defends well so Montana is unable to advance her position. But the judges don't give points for defense. So that's how Montana won the first two rounds. So Mara needs a finish and one would think she would show some urgency. But she doesn't and Montana even drops her with a punch and then rides her for the rest of round three. I scored the fight 30-27 for Montana and so did the judges. Obviously I would like to see Montana face someone better to see if she is really any good. Mara is now 2-3 in the UFC and she showed nothing in this fight. Maybe it's time for her to go. Enjoy the video!
