TUF 28 Heavy Hitters premieres Wednesday, August 29th, 2018 on FS1. They obviously passed on some experienced female featherweights who tried out like Cindy Dandois who could likely beat many if not most of these girls despite her rudimentary striking. Maybe they wanted younger gals or someone who hadn't already been in the UFC already.

Larissa Pacheco has some big show experience. Some of us here were foolish enough to bet on her to beat Jessica Andrade in her debut. She then completed her contract against Germaine De Randamie in a fight where she got abused. In Pacheco’s defense, she was just a kid at the time, and actually still is.
