Well shoot, I feel like I picked wrong already. Gilbert is a finisher but Belal is executing very well

Burns seems almost completely stumped.  I'm kinda shocked.

When did Gilbert become so chinny. He is the better striker better grappler. Worse wrestler with worse cardio. He just looked so meh against an old masvidal. I suppose people forget he’s 37. Colby will have the same age issue against edwards btw. The best 3 welterweights are edwards, khamzat, and rahkmanov
