Gotta imagine Knutsson will get a short notice shot or a contract off of another win eventually. Not signing her is crazy

I think Pajuelo can get a couple of wins, but I think the other two dudes will get 1 win at most and then get chinned in every other fight

The only reason I can think of why Dana didn't sign Knutsson is because she didn't finish Verbeek in the first round after that kick she landed. She did have Verbeek rocked and she was due to a finish, but Knutsson decided to clinch. I think everyone knows Dana hates that ****. So I wouldn't be surprised if that's the reason. I bet he thinks that Knutsson has no killer instinct...

With that said, he's nuts. She is 100% UFC ready, but hey... I'm just a random dude on a mma forum.

I think Nolan, Talbott, and Al-Selwaldy have the potential to be ranked. Everyone else ain't winning more than 4 in the UFC

Knutson will be back. So will Verbeek. They’re both UFC ready.
