Probably should be the end of TUF. The best new fighters the UFC could possibly find are getting wiped out by a group the UFC deemed already not good enough to stay in the promotion.

Murata lost round two in which she had 4 minutes and 11 seconds of top control out of 5 minutes. Demopoulos landed a grand total of 5 more strikes than Murata, from the bottom. If you think that's enough to offset dominant wrestling in a round, please leave the sport.
