8-bit MMA #WeekendPreview

#UFCNashville #Bellator178 #WMMA 

#UFCFightNight on #FoxSports1 has a stacked card for us this Saturday night. Two #WMMA fights on early preliminaries and regular preliminaries should be exciting to watch with Alexis Davis vs Cindy Dandois and Danielle Taylor (8-2) vs Jessica Penne (12-5). I am still learning about Danielle Taylor but Jessica Penne knows what it is like to be a champion. Taylor from few fights I have seen is a solid fighter with a lot of heart. It will be interesting to see which Penne will be inside The Octagon. The one who was Invicta FC Atomweight Champion or a different fighter that has improved since her last two losses. Penne used to be a former #InvictaFC Champion before Michelle Waterson dethroned her at #InvictaFC5. Penne is well-rounded,submission artists,and keeps her composure not matter who is standing in front. Penne's last two losses have come against Joanna Jedrzejczyk and Jessica Andrade. Jedrzejczyk vs Andrade fight at #UFC211 in Dallas this May. Joanna gets better and better every fight as reigning and defending Strawweight Champion. Andrade is coming off impressive wins that secured her spot. I am really looking forward to this fight on ppv card. The winner of the Jedrzejczyk vs Andrade fight is setting up the next challenger Rose Namajunas who just came off a win at #UFCKansasCity last weekend defeating Michelle Waterson. This Strawweight division is always enlightening. You never know who will emerge from the shadows. We are three women's divisions in UFC so far. A lot of Women fighters have been pushing on social media for a 125 weight class but the higher up only want to focus on Strawweight,Bantamweight,and new division Featherweight for now. #Bellator178 has two WMMA fighters on the card tonight. Ilima-Lei McFarlane vs Jessica Middleton. Ilima-Lei is still undefeated at (5-0). She is hoping to get a title shot one day but wants to just keep fighting to help build her brand and give the fight fans a great show every time. McFarlane beat Emily Ducote with impressive win last December. Middleton at (2-0) is a local fighter from Midwest. Middleton is still growing as a fighter but these ladies will give it their all come Friday night. Give us a #Twitter follow @8bitmma for news,updates,fighter polls,and more cool stuff coming soon. Enjoy the fights!
