I used to be high on Curatolo, then I watched him get KO'd!!! Still I ended backing him tonight!! Wonder how that works out?
I'm not feeling confident

I trained with Theo Rlayang on a trip through North Carolina. Couldn’t be a nicer guy, one of the best sparring partners I’ve trained with. I hope he wins this bout although I fear he lacks the experience. He’s exciting as **** to watch too, guy does cartwheel kicks

Damn. I need to do more research on these Brazilians! Last week it was Jailton Santos looking like a killer! This week this Rodrigues kid is really impressed me, so far

Curatolo's film he looked really good on the feet and fast, tbh did not expect Rodrigues to put it on him like this especially on the feet. Thought Rodrigues would try to get it on the ground.

30-27 Rodrigues. One of the best prospects I've seen on the series.

What a fun fight! Kleydson is so UFC ready, i was just getting current day Charles Olives vibes from him. Just everything being so technical and sharp and being so complete everywhere. Amped as **** to see his official UFC debut!
