Wow! Was hoping for a takedown from Moreno. But his striking has massively improved and his pace is nasty!!!

Early in the week I was on Teymur, but after his antics all week I hope Hooper finishes him.

I picked Teymur because for as great as Hoopers BJJ is his striking is real bad, he is easily hittable!  That dras he had with 10-12 Lashawn Al****s which was really a loss was another factor in my decision.

Has Teymur been acting like a **** @davis ?  I haven't watched any weigh ins or face offs so I missed it.

Those 2 guys was clearly not in the same weight class, looks like a stupid match-up to promote a young guy.

Eye win by boring decision I’m guessing? Didn’t expect Moreno to get the win. Assuming he got a few takedowns?
