I swear, the absolute worst trend of the last 3 years or so (besides the uptick in maneuvering mediocre, loud white fighters into prominent positions) is the fake "call out" at the end of interviews. It's corny, blatantly fake, and makes these fighters look ridiculous. I lose a little interest in the UFC every time I hear it.

Karolina got this I think.

Everybody is expecting Andrade to overpower and dominate.

But if Karolina can keep some space and thwart off the first initial wave of pressure - I think she can win by having higher output and not tiring out.

No matter how bad WWE gets (and they're BAAAAAD these days), they will always do this better than 95% of mixed martial artists. It's literally a wrestler's job to cut promos on their opponents; most of these fighters wouldn't remember to breathe if it weren't essential to fight training.

She doesn’t get tired though. She’s going to walk through everything and smash

But the fact is: the matchmakers and Dana pay A LOT of attention to this and to Twitter call outs. Many fights have been set up purely because of a call out and the public’s hungry reaction to this..

I think a worse answer is “Whoever the UFC puts in front of me” or “I spent 2 months away from home, I just want to first go back and chill with my people”. Both answers are perfectly fine in the real world, but in the ‘sell fights/reputation/hype’ it sounds boring and doesn’t lead to a bigger fight as fast..
