Judges might give this tit for tat fight to Brener because of the busted nose, Tuk really has to steal this round

Baremaras id think Joel would on the feet but he accepts bottom position to often and has been finished with ground and pound so maybe not stylistically

Wow that's a generous crowd cheering that fight that much. Can't wait to see how they're going to react if we get a banger.

Wouldn’t be surprised if Tuk gets robbed, he won as far as points and control but the judges are fickle

I regret switching to Ko prop. Brennar showed he can take a fight. But Brendan was open against the cage. Tukhugov just didn't catch him.

Nevermind,crackheads cheated their way...
