Felder did DWTNCS too. NIce first fight, and yep, rushing straight to the second prelim. I was convinced they lost a fight due to the time change, but I guess they decided last minute that they could fit three in an hour.

Side note I think felder is great in a commentary role talks about the fights and relevant things rather than getting distracted like dc

I thought Fortuna's speed with his power would take out Collier. Collier's pressure just wore out Marcel.

Strickland consistently landing the 1's and 2's. Seems afraid to get hit. Defense has been good, but just wants to not get hit. 

10-9 Strickland

Idk Spud Court has a ridiculously good chin and Strickland doesn't really hit that hard at all.Ponz is the only person to ever finish Court and Ponz could finish anyone at WW imo.

Rarely get psyched to see Strickland tbh.He was more fun back in KOTC but he's a way way better fighter now.

8:03..what if Roberson didn't get that 1st rd finish?UFC probably shouldn't try that 1 hr for 3 fights thing.

Yeah that draw was just wacky...I have never seen 2 judges give a 10-10 round.

That will teach Strickland to go for a finish more often. Your decision is never safe even if you control the fight for 3 rounds
