Side note: I literally thought Laprise had downs syndrome for quite a long time.

I flip-floppped over the main event pick for a long time. Ultimately I went with Holloway by TKO in the 4th. I just can't pick against him because he's never given me a reason to. I do think that if Ortega can't get it done nobody can, at FW anyway.

That's as close as rounds get. Very difficult to score. In a fair universe that would be 10-10, I'm gonna give it to Katona 10-9.
