They're already scheduled to fight each other and don't seem too upset about losing an opportunity to fight for the title this time around. I haven't heard boo from Valentina on the topic, but I can't imagine she'd be too happy about it.
Shortly after Yan finished Andrade, Dana claimed Weili defending her title against Yan in China was a no brainer. It still appears that it should be a no brainer given that there is still no Main Event scheduled, yet Dana now claims that fight isn't going to happen, at least not for this event...
I'd hardly call Rose's second win over Joanna and Weili "easy wins." They were both competitive and Joanna out struck Rose in the second fight according to the stats. Her win over Weili was a split decision that many thought should have gone the other way.
For what it's worth, you just proved his point. Ham was on a 6 fight win streak when she was signed up by the UFC and proceeded to go 1-3 (personally I think she got screwed in a couple of the decisions) in the UFC. Of her 4 opponents, only one was ranked in the top 15.
Yan was targeting a fight at the end of the year. It makes no sense keeping one of your more marketable female fighters out of circulation for over a year.
