Great win by Fili... I have just remembered Holloway saying that Fili was the heaviest hitter he has ever fought.

Best Performance from Fili since his fight against Pineda (Sadly, the fights ruled NC by a eye Poke).

Am I starting to doubt my dog picks just because of Almeida ? Yes I am. 

Hope Durden brings my confidence back.

I know, I know, I am just ribbing you. You know I always respect your opinions especially when it comes to new fighters coming to the UFC and regional fighters. You have some crazy knowledge. I just feel that Gaziev is going to get fraud checked very soon

Whatever happens I will break my streak of perfect Ulanbekov picks and 0% correct Durden picks.
