seemed like you guys were interested & what I've seen published is incomplete so I thought I'd update the info. 

The fight with Pico was a 3 round Pankration superfight under FILA rules.  I'm pretty sure its the only time Aaron has been knee barred

Dennis Buzukja, TKO, R3
Romero has a RED FLAG record. Going with Buzukja, plus he trains with Sterling

Dennis Buzukja, TKO, R1
Surprised by this matchup being on DWCS. Buzukja didn’t wow me in 2020 and he’s beaten easy competition since, and Romero isn’t anywhere in my 450+ ranked featherweights because he lost his 1 real challenge

I heard (unconfirmed) that there were issues with Erceg getting to the US, so the opponent will change and the date will be Aug 9.  Idk if a new opponent is set yet.

I need to rewatch tape but I rate Ozzy much higher as prospect than pyfer. Getting tkod by stolzfus and getting a ko over a 3-0 guy (2 of those wins were against jay Ellis LOL) doesn’t tell me much

I did. it wasn't a crazy impressive performance from him. He landed some good shots and had a good takedown with controll but he was down on sig strikes (16-12). Freak injuries happen but it still isn't a good loss; wasn't smart to put ur arm out like that when getting slammed either

Its a "loss".

I thought he looked solid in that fight.

The troutman fight was the one that worried me.

He should've r1 finished troutman the can

I think Ozzy is solid but I have to rewatch his fights. I only remember his most recent one where he looked good

I think Ozzy will win but probably will just be used as a body in UFC. He's kinda one dimensional and a bit too old to be a real prospect.
