Did you know that the 34th season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), coached by UFC Hall of Famers Daniel Cormier and Michael Bisping, is currently airing on Paramount+ every Tuesday?
Well, if not, I got you covered.
In the fifth episode, Cormier’s No. 1 women’s pick and top Brazilian prospect Valesca Machado, better known as “Tina Black,” scored a blistering technical knockout win over fellow countrywoman Natalia Alves in the second round of their quarterfinal matchup inside the Meta Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada.
And it was not close.
Machado was the much more experienced fighter, and it showed almost immediately. In the first round, Alves — a grappling specialist — tried desperately to get the fight to the ground, but Machado shut down every takedown attempt and made her pay for it on the feet.
