Never seen someone get away with so much blatant cheating as Higo if I’m being honest. No less than 5 instances per round lol.

Thank God the judges did not **** that up. Higo won. Caldwell is a good wrestler but the dude does ******* nothing when on top. Higo was far more active and I'm tired of the people who coast in top position being rewarded for it. 100% the right call.

Cyborg's stock decreases slightly with each passing minute. Clearly winning? Yes. But Leslie Smith is incredibly subpar, we know this, this should've ended 12 minutes ago lmao.
