Elkins just on Pepey like glue, also dumb on Pepey's behalf to be pulling guard.

@vazio Is Pepey like the Brazilian Forrest Gump?

30 - 26 but don't be surprised to hear a 29-27. 2/3 Sherdoggers gave the 1st to Pepey

Elkins is a beast. One of my favorite grinder style fighters. His pace is awesome, and he's normally active constantly when he's on top. I like that ****. I like it a lot..

Even though you can tell Eddie's brain separates "striking" and "grappling" into 2 entirely different areas, I'd still give him that round barely so 3rd decides it.
