Pretty close but I'll be very surprised if Dawodu doesn't win

One judge had it right. Dawodu lost the second, definitely. No prob with 1 and 3 though.

Dawodu poses a serious threat in stealing Smilin Sam Alvey's nickname.

Lol. They need to start holding judges and refs accountable. I picked that fight dead wrong but no way in hell did Dawodu lose the fight, let alone a round. It was closer than commentated but Kyle did squat with the takedowns and had no snap on his strikes.

@ImperatorFishrat It's kind of a toss up.. What prevails? Oliveira's striking or Gunni's JJ? I have a feeling this will be a standup fight… I hope so.
