Jamie Moyle was one of a handful of fighters who made Hawaii proud with her unanimous decision win over fellow native Kailin Curran at the TUF 24 Finale Saturday evening.
Moyle overcame a gash over her left eye to get the decision win and right now, it looks like she’s on her way to maintaining a spot in the UFC’s strawweight division.
Me and my team with a clean sweep this weekend !! #syndicatemma #ufc https://t.co/4MSLOd657s

Moyle revealed to MMAJunkie she got the fight after asking Dana White for another shot after the loss to Amanda Bobby Cooper on TUF 23.
Curran, by the way, can be proud of her performance. She made Moyle work and with a bit more takedown defence, she can punish those who try to take her down even more.
Meanwhile, a day before at Bellator 167, Ilima-Lei Macfarlane rolled to another victory, decisioning Emily Ducote to remain undefeated.

I don’t have to tell you how charismatic Macfarlane is. She’s one of the favourites to become Bellator’s first women’s flyweight champion.
Sara McMann showed some good improvements, overcoming some punishment from Canadian Alexis Davis to lock up an arm triangle in the second round. Davis was impressive from the bottom.

Andrea “KGB” Lee is set to return from a nine-month suspension for Invicta FC 21 and it looks like she wasn’t sitting idle. In speaking to MyMMANews.com, Lee said she worked on her BJJ and kept her trademark striking sharp too. Looks like she is itching to showcase it.

Looking ahead to Albany’s UFC Fight Night 102, strawweight Justine Kish (5-0-0) will welcome Ashley Yoder (5-1-0) to the Octagon, while TUF 23 winner Tatiana Suarez (4-0-0) will take on No.15 Juliana Lima (8-3-0)
It bears repeating …
