FOTY.  Great KO by Yancy Medeiros.  That was a huge statement victory for him.  And Oliveira did amazing as well.  If they don't give those men bonuses for FOTN, it'll be a damn shame.

Do Bronx fights are so hard to pick.  He either gets a crazy submission from nowhere or gets finished in the first round.

How that grounded knee to the head didn't get called is crazy to me.  The ref was right above them, and Miragliotta didn't see that ****?

Felder toughed that out. He may be in a position to take over if Olivera is tired.

Solid fight.

If you're gonna tap to strikes on a delayed reaction like that, I think you need to tap a little more vigorously to make sure it's obvious.

Felder got out of that first round by pure toughness, he made a terrible white belt mistake while defending the frontlock, giving his legs to Charles. That was very close.

Once the first round ended, Do Bronx gassed hard.

Big win for Felder. Love to see local guys doing well. His schools football and wrestling programs were big rivals with mine. Love to see him evolve.

@ben I guess you don't understand BJJ very well if you not realized how much in trouble Felder was on the first.
