I'm not sure what pay-per-view fights are going for these days, so I can't answer your question directly.
However, I do think Loomer vs. Ocasio-Cortez would be a really interesting and entertaining fight. Laura looks to be a bit shorter and squishier than AOC -- so on the one hand she's got better shock absorption and a lower center of gravity; but if I had to guess I'd probably say that AOC is in better physical shape, plus she's tall, giving her a longer reach. The outcome would obviously depend on what fighting style each of them used, but if I were a betting man, my money would be on AOC.
AOC vs. Lauren Southern, now that would be a fun one. That's a tossup.

I think Loomer has it. You've made an assessment based on how men fight. Shock absorption is a trade off for stamina in this example, the lower center of gravity is mitigated by AOC's additional range, I believe its ALL mitigated however by the fact that what we'd likely witness is hands locked in hair until one trips over something and both topple. Once on the ground, I believe Loomer would have the weight advantage. If she was able to get on top, AOC would be pinned in a bad way.
I think from a pay-per-view to fiscal gain perspective, AOC VS Southern is a much better choice for viewership.

I admit I don't watch MMA fights, so I will defer to your expertise on this one. Is hair really fair game?
