No hope for Yamasaki, when it's not too soon is waaay too late.

overcommitting to a leglock is a rookie's mistake, I expected more from a vet like Eduardo. Solid fight by Lopez, dude hit Eduardo with some hard shots on the feet.

No offense to Spicely but he probably shouldn't have a black belt

Big fight for Marlon's debut. Assuncao has been around forever. Quality veteran who hasn't really shown significant signs of decline. I feel like Marlon's leg kicks should spell the difference.
