I like De La Rosa when he goes to the body and then back to the head with his punches here. Gotta do more of that and make Paiva uncomfortable.

10-9 Paiva, controlled where the fight was and landed some good punches. Looked very comfortable in there and at his distance.

Mark would be a great coach, but he just seems to lack that aggression you need to have to be competitive in the UFC.

I think De La Rosa better hope his wife wins, because he’s going to be cut from UFC after third straight loss I’m sure...

De La Rosa needed to either be at a different distance in that fight or take it down to the ground. He didn't do either of those so Paiva got the win by TKO.

Thank God Paiva gets to stick around. He's had some horrible luck. His gf died before making his debut, gets robbed in a hometown decision against France, then is dominating Bontorin before getting a nasty cut.
