@swain

was just thinking the same thing about it being a shame that he's nearly 40. seems like juan could make a good run in the ufc but homeboy is nearly 40 so it simultaneously seems unlikely

The prelims on this card are kinda lacking ... looking forward to seeing the matchmaking ****show of Jake Matthews vs Diego and looking forward to Riddell vs Da Silva the prelim headliner ... other than that the prelims are fight night prelim quality

That was a good fight. Didn't completely wash away the bad impression from that first... heavy breathing contest, but it's a good start.

I've only ever seen Aleksei Oleinik go for that submission, nicely done. Hughes is another dude that has just underperformed in the UFC.

@Chim Tough one to pick, I'm going with Aleksa but wouldn't be surprised if it went the other way

These one dimensional big muscular dudes from the contender series have been disappointing (Menefield....Buckley) we will see if Knight can turn that around.

I had Costa since they were gonna fight but flopped late with the larger cage. I really would love to have picked the wrong guy. I’ll still kick rocks for swapping picks. Haha.  I definitely can see a route to victory for both guys. I just hope he doesn’t burn out chasing Izzy. He hasn’t fought anyone that long with that control of range. The closest would be Hall I guess. Hall did have early success in that one if I remember correctly.
