Anyone who handicapped the woman who was 200+ lbs and was shot in the leg…you should find something else to do. Especially against a woman who beat Karine Silva and trains with cyborg.

Should be a banger. Vallejos is pretty wacky. He may want to reign it in early a bit.

Vallejos may have some quirks, but I think he can get the J.O.B. done here.
