Since Esparza was the Invicta champion I'm guessing she's #1.

They somehow accidentally spoiled the result of this fight earlier in the episode - when the Calderwood fight was announced and added to the bracket it showed that Randa had advanced.

What is it that Calderwood said in the promo during the Silva-Arlovski fight night that she'd make for her opponent after the fight?

Carrot cake?

That's it, it was referencing a comment she made when her fight was announced on the show. She said it was too bad they had to fight because Emily Kagan was nice to her and gave her some carrots when she complained about being hungry, but now "I guess she'll be wantin' her carrots back."

I know there was already an upset last week but I would be extremely surprised if JoJo loses to Emily Kagan.

Despite Dana's "I didn't watch the fight" assessment this was pretty close until the really bad cut.

The commercial the UFC posted for this episode actually showed Lisa Ellis tapping out.

Angela did OK defending herself on the ground until the double fence grab left her open. She probably shouldn't have been vying for the title at 1-0 though.

Thug Rose has been basically a piece of scenery since episode 1.

Most of her screen time has been devoted to "everybody hates Heather Clark" but at least she's spoken on screen. I can't recall a single time that Aisling Daly or Alex Chambers have said anything since the first episode.

It's kinda funny how they took two weeks off and there wasn't a single baseball game on, and now the last two weeks they've gone against the World Series.

Yay for Aisling, Magana has been one of the worst personalities on the show so far so seeing her TKO'd was great.

I don't remember the finish but Morgan got dropped like twice in that fight, either way it was cool seeing her get Struve'd

Peggy lost via RNC but it was set up by Aldana's hands. I remember being impressed by the striking of her teammate Alexa Grasso in the fight before that too.

I would prefer to see Rose win but I am a little interested in what would happen if Team Pettis sweeps the first round. I stopped watching regularly after the Bisping/Mayhem season, has a coach ever not won a single fight before?

Heather has a built in feud from the show they can capitalize on too, I'd be surprised if her finale opponent wasn't Angela Magana.

Felice loves the camera and it shows. Penne went in there and just steamrolled a rookie like she should.

You might be thinking of Carla Esparza, Penne's opponent was not a rookie. Lisa Ellis has 23 career fights.

Ha, they have to make the coach's challenge into trivia because they absolutely cannot trust Pettis to not hurt himself

They have brought alternates in on TUF before but it's usually if somebody drops out right at the beginning of the season. A second chance for a loser isn't unprecedented either. I think the only way they'd give Bec a pass was if her opponent was injured at the last second or didn't make weight, it seemed like Dana was pretty set on "everybody has to fight in the first round" when Gil was trying to lobby for a bye.

I liked how Carla was going "you disobeyed the coach!" like a child tattling in school and then Pettis was like uh, I don't give a poo poo.

Magana had a good first round against Daly but then got really tuckered out. The blueprint to beating Tecia Torres was exposed pretty heavily on TUF though (wrestling).

Unless Rose wins the belt, I feel like either Gadelha or someone from Invicta is gonna take that belt away in the first title defense.

Gadelha is fighting the Polish woman with the impossible last name on Saturday in what is probably a #1 contender fight.

Yeah let's build up this feud between two people who are not fighting each other, instead of talking about fights that will happen including a title fight.

Yeah, I read that she passed out while trying to make weight for her fight with Magana, though I don't think they actually showed it in the episode.

You'd think maybe they cut it because they didn't want to show how dangerous weight cutting is or something but there was footage in the season trailer of some of the other girls finding Daly passed out in the bathroom. So they showed it there but not during the actual season.
