Yeah I'm not feeling the love for her, she's a chore to watch

That said Buys shouldn't let herself get held in a headlock for like 13 minutes

Yeah it’s a cool move but then they just lay on the floor for three minutes.

Yeah if your opponent is known for head locking her opponents I would think you'd at least consider cutting your hair short so they'd have less of a huge friction advantage on you?

Does the UFC tend to keep bringing fighters that are considered boring to watch back? Don’t get me wrong, she won which is pretty impressive IMO, but to my fighting ignorant self, it was definitely more exciting watching the losing chick when they were on their feet than the winning fighter laying on top of losing one for the other 10 minutes.

It's pretty rare for a fighter to get cut if they're coming off a win, especially if it's a win streak. It depends on a few factors but for the most part as long as you're winning they keep bringing you back, but more popular fighters get more leeway as far as getting let go after losses. Fighters have been cut after a single loss for different reasons while guys like Dan Hardy stuck around after four fight losing streaks because they're popular or marketable to a certain country or region or whatever

Or pull a Colby Covington who's really good and really boring but turned themselves into a villian to get people to tune in
