Des hurts his opponent and fails to keep pulling the trigger again. Close KO there.

Green and Muhammed are usually good bets for a decision win for easy perfects.

Teymur was ready to pull out a shiv and shank Lentz' ass to avoid that takedown.

If Teymur can stuff Lentz like this, he can stuff a lot of others guys shots too. Underrated TDD.

Lentz is game as **** but he's got no answers for Teymur. He's been a punching bag out there so far.

Teymur has the first two pretty clearly. Nick has to pull out a hail Mary to win this.

Teymur fighting dirty as ****, and the ref is allowing it. He’s blatantly grabbed the cage and poked Lentz in the eyes several times, and absolutely nothing has been done about it.

I would like to see Teymur lose a point in the 1st round too, but he still dominated anyway...

So kinda moot.

Teymur should have lost a point, but he'd probably still win 29-27. Although who is to say how the fight would have went if there were no eye gouges or fence grabs when Lentz almost had the takedown, especially early in the fight.

Alvey yanked that round right out from under Villante.

2nd rd Alvey took as Villante was way more tentative.

How the **** do you even score that, just call it a draw, but probably a split decision incoming
