29-28 Bulal. This fight is everything I thought it would be. A 25 minute decision point fight, that is.

@CheckLeftHook the same will happen in the main event. Belal is the better wrestler likewise cejudo is the better wrestler, it takes a lot of energy for either guy to wrestle to get barely any top control and have no submission threat. Sometimes the juice is worth the squeeze more often than not it isn’t against a big submission threat. These will be kick-boxing matches
