Claudia Gadelha is feeling good and posting.

And here’s ppvs for 2014-2016 from the 2016 lenders presentation. Interesting to note it looks like some got lazy & just copied & pasted mmapayouts numbers for everything before UFC 195. Elsewhere in the doc they make it clear at least 193 & 189 did less than shown here pic.twitter.com/HdLsyFUZcq
