Kind of odd choice since both Shayna & Kaufman both volunteered to fill in.
Maybe they just wanted a TUF contestant.

Raquel is coming off a win at least

I just thought they'd select a bigger name. I like Rocky, but just kind of surprised they blew off SK & SB.

Well, it's just Jessica Andrade, she's not really a future contender in the division. On paper she seemed like a stepping stone fight for Julianna

My daughter's will love to hear about this since they train at the same gym as Raquel. Also, my good friend David Payne will be headlining the King of the Cage on Feb 8.

Jokes for someone who tore their ACL, MCL, LCL, Hamstring, and Meniscus.
Keep it classy.

Stepping stone? Andrade is ranked #9 with a 10-3 record. If Julianna thought she was going to be a stepping stone then the injury was probably a blessing in disguise. She lost a tough fight to Carmouche, but demolished Sexton.
Andrade is a lil firecracker. Both her and Rocky are compact strikers, but I'm going with JA in this one.

I think Julianna woulda dragged her to the ground and pounded her out. Andrade is ranked 9 due to a thin division and she is really just too small for 135 her only edge against Julianna would have been experience and more technical striking but not much of a threat anywhere else. Let's face it, Liz Carmouche is not that great of a fighter either. She loses to every good fighter she faces

Prior to the Davis loss, she has only lost to champs. It's not like she's losing to questionable opponents.
Julianna is/was to slow for Andrade. I think she would have been exposed rather quickly when she faced real competition in the octagon. Nothing against Shayna, but her cardio is on part with Baroni & Overeem.

I didn't say she was losing to questionable opponents, just that she loses to every good fighter she fights. Well at this point it's all just woulda/coulda/shoulda

Sucks for Pena. 2 yrs is an eternity in professional sports. Hope she's able to recover and get back to competing.

What about the dudes that have died? I'm guessing its probably worse than a knee injury
