I've seen Edwin Cooper Jr. wrestle when I went to the Iowa University Wrestling Camp as a wee lad. All-American D1 very quick, good scrambles I'll be interested to see his hands and how his wrestling translates to MMA featherweight is full of killers! 

And he's at Jackson winks FFS nevermind lmao jk.

Let's hope this will be less BS than last week where bascially 2 fights were useless given that the best two winnners were not chosen due to inexperience and they faced cans that weren't supposed to win

What is the hate on Boston Salmon?  Asking from a betting perspective, as Lee is only a slight favorite.

Salmon has a cracked chin, I mean absolutely ******. He’s been knocked out bad in his last three fights, including a fractured eye. He’s also been out of the game for quite awhile, so some who believe in ring rust are further doubting him.

I have watched MMA for 28 years (I'm 37 years old).  I have never heard of this guy in my life.  Thanks for the perspective.  I think I may lay .25 units on this Lee kid if what you say is that bad.

I knew the name sounded "fishy" lol.  I remember now.  This is the kid that Shawn West cracked with that illegal knee.  I remember this because I saw an interview where West was talking about how he got a **** ton of death threats from all over because of that brutal knee.  I also remember the Khalid Taha knock out but I certainly don't remember that name.  I don't remember a single Randy Costa fight except when he head kicked Journey Newson.  Good catch, everyone.

Salmon was in the ufc. His tenure composed of an 25 second and 2:15 ko loss. Then takes years off, comes back to lfa, and “loses” from an illegal knee

I just saw the video.  He got chin checked and was out worse Zach "Ziggy" Johnson before that knee.  If you don't know who Ziggy Johnson is and his story, check out these videos from Cody

Exactly, slight fav because  he's going to upset this Asian fade. Not only is the line fishy, lol. Looking at the finish chance it's not adding up either

I don't mind adding Lee to one of my parlay pieces on a 20 dollar bet.  Watching Salmon's last three fights this morning, it is clear he has taken bad, bad damage.  These are not normal TKO's.  The last fight, even before the knee hit, this kid gets cracked with a right hand really bad.  He hasn't fought since 2020.  I wouldn't be surprised if every commission put him on an auto 18 month suspension for that knee to the head.

Here are his last three fights from oldest to newest.  I can't back this.

He’s getting starched early too. Shows his chin is basically gone

Boston Salmon is the better fighter

Predictions: 3 of 4 Winners, 1 Perfect, 175 Points   |   Tied for 52nd

This Lee guy was having a competitive fight with Ronaldo Dy who I think is one of the worst UFC fighters in recent memory. Lee also lost to Ali Alqisi who had a quick 0-2 in the ufc. Lee is decent and thats about it.

Yes I know Boston Salmon dosent have a great chin, but his skills are def better than Lees. If y'all didnt know Boston was a good Amatuer boxer and had success. He also has decent wrestling. And people forget he picked apart Ricky Turcios on the contender series.

I'm not saying there's a pre determined outcome but odds makers don't mess up much. Favs hit at a 65% rate in mma. I just think the lines fishy. And if you pay attention to numbers a lot of these 70/30 lose. Just my 2 cents. Good luck
