Brunson basically lost his mind out there. I had a worse and worse feeling the longer he kept running straight at Whitaker with his chin out while failing to hurt Whitaker or take him down. Basically no fight IQ and pretty bad technique. He did look pretty tough though, running into that left hand alone could have KOed a lot of people but he survived for a while.

Both guys are damn good but after tonight I don't think either would be able to beat most of the top 5. Though either of them would have a solid chance against Bisping, LOL. Middleweight's in a weird place right now.

I also really don't get Matthews. He looks like a world beater against Case and then loses to Holbrook 2 fights later?

I dont feel Whittaker is ready for top 5, but BBF will force him faster than they should.

There just aren't many other guys to give Whitaker, unless he gets someone like Jotko.

an unfortunate truth in the MW division.  Seems pretty thin.

i did it again.  Daniel Kelly +185 underdog vs Camozzi. Romero and Kelly are 14-1 in the octagon and kelly has been an underdog in all 6 fights and Romero has been an underdog 6 times. I won every time with Romero and only lost once with Kelly (5-1) kelly was a +425 in the fight b4 Camozzi too. He still wants to fight again in the  England card.  Way to go Olympians.

Mucho Dinero with those two guys.
