Bye is one of the worst fighters I’ve ever seen. What is his main skill, wrestling? He hasn’t even attempted a takedown and looks to not even have any striking whatsoever

I dunno bro. I mean Gracie could win but I have never been impressed by him.

Yamaguchi on the other hand I think should be in the top 20 of the UFC.

Maybe I am wrong but I really like Yamaguchi, perhaps that's influencing me.

Well Bye was a **** pick. Should've gone Yah by UD. Both these guys got weird ass last names, though not as weird as the amateur ruleset (or Bellator doing a random ass amateur fight out of nowhere)

Bye is legitimately the worst fighter I’ve ever seen. No skills anywhere. I hate to be the stereotypical “I could do better than this guy” armchair viewer, but I genuinely think I could beat this guy with no training whatsoever

I take it back. They are still amateurs after all.

Bye needs to improve striking, cardio, get up game and top control. Thats a lot.

Yah looks pretty good already.

Should've just picked the favorite. Well at least literally all the rest of the prelims are locks. Time to go on a 7 fight predicted correct streak
