UFC 231: Holloway vs Ortega Results
UFC 231 took place December 8th from Scotiabank Arena in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. In the Main Event, Max Holloway retained his Featherweight Title over Brian Ortega. Holloway was looking very accurate and as the fight wore on he began to wear the challenger down. Ortega for his part was never out of the fight and mounted his own offense, even stumbling Holloway in round three. After the fourth round ended, the doctor's decided Ortega had enough and stopped it. In women's action, Valentina Shevchenko became the new Flyweight Champ defeating Joanna Jedrzejczyk. The stand-up seemed to be fairly even although Shevchenko seemed to land the harder shots. The big difference was the work Shevchenko did in the clinch and scoring takedowns. Also Nina Ansaroff scored her biggest win to date by defeating Claudia Gadelha. The fight was even after two rounds and Ansaroff took over in the third coming forward with aggression and out-striking Gadelha. Also Jessica Eye took a close split decision over Katyln Chookagian. Eye came forward being aggressive and landed some good shots while Chookagian seemed to be fine with backing up and landing counters. In the end two of the three judges sided with Eye.

November 2018 MMA Athlete of the Month: Felicia Spencer
Photo Credit for photos 1-3: Invicta FC
After a noted amateur career Felicia Spencer turned pro in late 2015 and made her pro debut with Invicta FC and a win over Rach Wiley. An impressive win that started a path to what she accomplished at Invicta FC 32.
After that win Spencer was consistently put in with opponents who were being hyped up as the next big thing and she continued to make short work of them, names like Amy Coleman and Akeela Al-Hameed. Which brought her to July of this year and Helena Kolesnyk.
Kolesnyk was sure to be the toughest challenger Spencer had faced, bringing a 5-1 record and thought to have a strong striking game. Kolesnyk did push her into the second round but Spencer controlled the fight the entire way before scoring her second submission win. After the bout Spencer made it clear that she believes in herself as she called out Megan Anderson and made her statement that she wanted the featherweight title.
It just so happened Pam Sorenson also wanted that featherweight title and both were deserving of an opportunity at it. So the bout was scheduled for November. Once again it was sure to be the toughest opponent Spencer had faced and while a slight favorite, many thought this could be Spencer's first loss. Round one was all Spencer as she got it to the ground and seemed close to finishing her opponent. Rounds two and three were closer and were the first real times Spencer faced adversity, which is actually probably a good thing going forward, she showed she can push through and overcome adversity.
Round four, Sorenson started out good but Spencer quickly took over and seized the opportunity to get the fight where she wanted it and showed that you don't want to be on the ground with her as she got the choke and the win and became the new champ.
Going forward, there are not a ton of potential challengers for her title so it will be interesting to see where she goes next. Whether a challenger can be found or with the UFC having a real lack of depth at that weight, will she be brought to the UFC soon and groomed as a potential challenger for Cris Cyborg's title assuming she gets by Amanda Nunes. One thing is for sure, wherever she fights, whoever she fights, Felicia Spencer has shown she is a fan friendly fighter in that her fights, short or long do not lack excitement and that the future is very very bright for her.
November 2018 Fitness Athlete of the Month Monique Jones
Photo Credit: JM Manion
Monique Jones has long been a favorite amongst bodybuilding fans and competitors. A great representative for the sport. Her dedication to the sport off the stage combined with her grace, physique and posing on stage make her hard not to cheer for.
Monique was long considered one of the elite in the sport but after 2015 took an extended time off. Before that she had been placing at the top of all shows she did and even making very good accounts at the big one, the Olympia. But she was still involved as you would know by following her social media. Still training competitors in all divisions and working on posing and other things. Not to mention, not letting herself slip at all as she always looks like she could step on stage at anytime and do very well.

Luckily for fans of the sport, Monique decided it was time to return to the stage and did so at the Romania Muscle Fest Pro. It was a show that was going to really give an idea of where she was at as there were a number of very solid competitors on stage that day, so to win she was going to have to bring her "A game". And bring it she did.
Monique looked better than ever, more impressive considering her time off, a sport where coming back isn't easy to do. Monique nailed her conditioning and brought possibly her best overall package ever as she had the size she always has but it looked as impressive as ever as there wasn't a weakness to be seen. ALso, while you can only tell so much from photos, she seemed to once again show she can pose as well as anyone in the sport. She walked away with first place and made a big statement.
Going forward, while she probably knows her plans in some form, we can only hope this was the beginning of her stepping on stage more often because the Monique Jones we saw is capable on any given day of beating anyone and competing with the best if not being the best herself.

Bodybuilding on the women's side was down a bit for a short time but Wings of Strength has helped bring it back and it's popularity seems to be on the rise. Having a Monique Jones in it is a positive as she is proof that negative stereotypes are just that, stereotypes. She shows that muscle on a woman can be a beautiful thing, can be every bit as entertaining as men and that the sport has a bright future.

October 2018 MMA Athlete of the Month: Aspen Ladd
Photo Credit: Mike Roach
Going back to her days even as an amateur, there was no doubt Aspen Ladd was destined for stardom in the sport. As an amateur she tasted defeated only once and it was to Cynthia Calvillo, Cynthia herself destined for big things.
Making her pro debut with Invicta FC, a first round defeat of Ana Carolina Vidal, Aspen brought her skill set to a bigger stage in front of a bigger audience and even more became aware of what a bright future Aspen had. Her time in Invicta saw her not only win, but beat other highly thought of opponents. Names like Amanda Cooper, Sijara Eubanks and others. And she wasn't just winning, she was winning convincingly.

Those wins led to the inevitable, a shot with the UFC. After illness delayed her debut, she finally made it facing Lina Lansberg in what was expected to be her toughest test to date. She passed that test stopping the very tough Lansberg in round two. Now, with the UFC audience, it wasn't just the die-hard fans who were aware, now the whole sports fanbase got to see what Aspen Ladd was capable of.
Ladd was next set to face Leslie Smith, however she was unable to make weight. Ladd did what you are supposed to do, but what not all do, she owned up to her mistake and did all she could to get the fight to proceed. However, an agreement could not be reached and the bout was cancelled. We would have to weight for her sophomore UFC fight.
That fight would come October 6th at UFC 229 against women's MMA pioneer Tonya Evinger. It was made clear that many see stardom in Aspen as she was actually made the betting favorite in the bout despite the many accomplishments of her opponent. However, many felt Evinger might be too much too soon for Ladd. Aspen clearly didn't feel that way as her confidence was apparent.
Any doubts anyone had about Aspen Ladd's skill were eliminated as she not only beat Evinger, she dominated the fight. The fight went to the ground quickly and Ladd was in a dominant position the entire way, on top of her opponent, getting her back, wherever a quick scramble may have gone, Ladd remained in the dominant position, landing strikes till eventually the ref had to stop it in round one.

With the bantamweight division in flux, with some going down to flyweight, champ Amanda Nunes fighting featherweight champ Cris Cyborg, Aspen made it clear she is a legit contender to become the queen of the division. She has the ground game, the striking, everything needed to become the best in the division. While it may be a bit before she gets that opportunity, it is hard to see anyone knocking her off of that path.
October 2018 Fitness Athlete of the Month: Marcia Goncalves
Photo Credit: JM Manion
In a year were the bikini division was possibly as competitive as any year in it's history, one of the most consistent competitors in the division was Marcia Goncalves. Marcia had five first place finishes and also a top ten finish at the Olympia.
Marcia had a decent 2017 including finishing the year with a second place finish at the South Carolina Grand Prix, but no one could have predicted the year she has had in 2018, but the improvements she made and what she continually brought to the stage made her placings very well earned and deserved. Marcia started the year with back to back fourth place finishes at the World Klash and Salt City Showdown. Then she took off.

Marcia took a very impressive second place at the Pittsburgh Pro and then took three straight first places leading to the Olympia. Competing against the best of the best and hoping to improve upon last year's Olympia, Marcia was one person who was going to be interesting to watch. Against the possibly toughest lineup ever on the Olympia stage in the division, would Marcia crack the top ten or was there more work to be done. The answer to that was obvious once she stepped on stage. Surely she will say there is more work to be done, especially since it is a sport where there are always improvements to make, Marcia let it be known she had truly arrived in taking ninth place. While obviously others finished above her, many remarked at how improved Marcia was and how impressed they were with her. She made it known she was among the sports elite, the elite of the elite and big things were predicted for her in 2019.
But she wasn't done with 2018 yet and riding the high of a top ten finish at the Olympia, Marcia first did the Hurricane Pro taking another first place and then the San Antonio Pro and finished.... you guessed it.... first place. First place out of forty competitors. Continuing what has been an amazing year for her.
Photo Credit: Lloyd Terry Jr.
Heading into 2019 Marcia is poised for an even bigger year, with people really taking notice of her, it will be interesting to see what improvements she makes and where she makes them. But if 2018 was any indication, Marcia knows how to improve and will do so again and is without a doubt a favorite going into the year and a viable threat to take home an Olympia top five if not a contender to win the entire thing.
