Beyond the Octagon: Rousey teammate Jessamyn Duke drops fifth in a row, UFC vets go 2-5

Your weekly look at how MMA's big-show veterans are fairing on the regional circuit.

Last weekend proved one of the roughest for fighters looking to fight their way back into the Octagon, with UFC vets managing a paltry 2-5 record against regional competition. Granted, some of those losses came to high-potential prospects who may be UFC-bound themselves soon enough.

Case in point: TUF 18's Peggy Morgan (4-4, 0-1 UFC) fell to strikes in the opening round of her featherweight contest at Invicta FC 18. This loss (the only one by TKO in her career) came at the hands of hard-hitting Australian product Megan Anderson (7-2-0), who has won three straight, all by (T)KO.
