Closing out this UFC Vegas 98 edition of TTP is our interview with LFA bantamweight, Melissa Croden. Croden discusses her close fight with UFC bantamweight Jacqueline Cavalcanti and the confidence that she takes from that title bout. With Cavalcanti leaving the organization and vacating the title Croden has her eyes on a possible vacant title shot. Before she can get to that, she’ll need to get through Ashley Deen in a LFA 195 bout. We break it down and she forces Gumby to give out a prediction for it.
