Just realized we've had 4 straight Tapology dog wins. 

Will Garbrandt make it 5?

Cody looked fantastic! Picked Almeida but decided to take the odds on a Garbrandt KO +240 because I've been picking like **** and it paid off!

Not a fan of Cody but great performance. Almeida is lacking in the defense department me thinks.

Great end to a fun card. Usually I'm a bit snarky about cards with a bunch of decision but that main card made me forget the atrocity that was McMann/Eye. Some great matchmaking was on display tonight.
