Maybe picking finishes because it’s contender series isn’t the smartest thing, still 2/2 thus far

Theo has really nice feints that he is very active with and standup game looks good!  Wondering if he will get put on his back.

I believe if it wasn't for the fact that Ryalang is a fellow Vietnamese fighter this fight would have been done

Wonder what Dana saw in Nguyen and Rosales to have them both comeback after already being defeated on DWCS.
