Good event to watch. Hard to pick a favourite. I'd still go with Sandro despite him being the only guy to not get a finish. I think that low blow he suffered slowed him down and allowed GDS to almost get back in the fight.

Ronnie Mann is 2nd fave to win in my opinion. He would have been 1st but he kept getting tagged by Adam Schindler, who to me isn't a technical striker but someone who swings wildly.

Sandro was landing pretty well, I think it's more of Da Silva is a legit striker and clearly has a good chin to survive that 1st round.

I think the matchup vs. Sandro is a terrible one for Naz. His takedowns did look much improved last night, but Sandro is a NU black belt who can hang on the ground, and will probably be able to stuff Naz's shots. Also, that single leg TD of Naz (which I'll admit won him the fight last night) is gonna line him up nicely for a Sandro uppercut, which has turned so many japanese featherweights into internet memes over the last couple years. Long story short, the gap between these two fighters is much smaller on the floor (Naz's game) than on the feet (Sandro's game). Ive got Sandro by decapitation.

I like Curran. Ronnie is good and has a lot of potential but I think Curran has the better all around game. He'll have the wrestling and jits advantage, which is nice to have in your back pocket when going up against a striker. I think Curran will try it out on the feet, see how it goes, and if he's not getting the better of it there, take it to the floor. Either way, I see a Sandro vs. Curran final, which I think will end up being a legit contender for fight of the year.

I know Sandro is a BB in BJJ but I haven't seen much of his ground game, actually I have seen a whopping 1 fight of his(Da Silva) and his HL reels. I know it won't be easy for Naz to get the TD but I think he could control Sandro on the mat, I wouldn't expect a submission. Sandro by KO is probably the most likely outcome, but if the odds were over +400 I'd go for the huge upset award cause I could see Naz winning a decision with top control.
