Did Martinez have the worst physique of anybody in ufc history? I don't think they'll be adding his body type to the next ufc game

Crazy how fast it went off the rails with Bektic. Probably the best prospect in the sport for awhile, or at least right up there.

Went south real quick. He is staying in the sport as a coach and nutritionist apparently too

How is Randa Markos still in the UFC? I see she’s on an upcoming card. She’s like 5-48 it seems.

Her last loss was a BS DQ. That probably got her another chance

What about every fight before that? She’s bad, and isn’t getting better.

If you went through the UFC woman's fighters list you would be shocked (or maybe not) at how bad the fighters listed there are. A few have been cut/retired and are still there and the UFC isn't great at updating records.. but like 20% of them are within a couple fights of .500 records. Lots of 6-4, 6-5, 4-3 type records. Just a bunch of bad fighters fighting each other and winning half the time.

So, Markos fits right in.

She also looks like she's about to pop out of her top half the time she fights, so maybe the UFC is keeping her around to add that excitement onto the prelim cards.
