UFC Vegas 25 Preview: Brazilian Muay Thai specialists square off

Does anyone want to tell me why the UFC thinks Poliana Botelho and Luana Carolina is the best fight to feature on the prelims? I’ll admit both are physically gifted strikers, but they’re also exceptionally unrefined and their showings in the UFC don’t exactly indicate their going to be major players. To be fair, I’ll admit none of the other contests seem to have anyone who have indicated they’re going to future stars either, but why not Luana Pinheiro? Sure, she hasn’t fought in the UFC yet, but I’d be willing to bet the youthful Brazilian has more star potential than either of those two.
