Solid, the Case decision must've been nerve-racking for you.

For sure, it was admittedly closer of a fight than I thought it was going to be. Although it was probably just as nerve racking watching Skelly get dropped like a sack of potatoes and get lit up.

Do you have any open bets going on?

Haha, not outside of the Tapology Wagering League, no. 

I've got Corey Anderson in a parlay with Skelly as well as Brazilian Cowboy in one with Case at $5,000 each. 

Then I've got $1,000 on Teixeira, Magomedov, Skelly, Anderson, Case, Oliveira, and then $2,500 on Belfort, Teixeira, and Magomedov.

Pretty entertaining round. I feel like 99% of the time I see Fabio Maldonado he's standing with his back against the fence eating punches.

Good bets as well.
I think Brazilian Cowboy and Anderson should win without much issue, unless they gas.

Maldonado's alternate form is on his back eating punches. That's when he's not standing with his back against the fence eating punches. He's versatile.

Never get on top of Maldonaldo because in the blink of an eye he's pounding on top of you somehow.

Fabio Maldonado's strategy via Brian Stann -- Exhaust your opponent by receiving continuous punches to the face.

He was spot on.

I think Beastin' 25/8's got this by a 31-27 (x4) UD.

Maldonado should really be fighting dudes like Ken Shamrock and Kimbo over in Bellator. He'd fit in great.

God, I wish this guy would change his nickname to "Borin' 25/8". I'm being too harsh. He fought pretty well tonight, but most of his fights are pretty dull.

yeap, that went exactly as everyone thought it would go. Bad TDD + inhuman ability to eat punches = 30-27 Anderson.

Maldonado needs to evolve. Heart, chin, crisp boxing. All commendable, but by themselves, he has already peaked.

Uh. If you're going to the gym every day and not taking a day off, you'd still just be Beastin' 24/7.

That doesn't explain how you can access to a extra day. I question the verisimilitude of your dumb nickname
