Usman is like -250 for their 3rd bout right? I haven't checked the odds on that one.

Clearly won by hugging him against the fence... Don't act like you dominated the fight, got dropped multiple times and was on his backfoot all the time

 I personally think this is a closer fight than everyone believes. Is Rakhmonov the real deal? Yes.. but is Geoff Neal an easy fight for him? Absolutely not. This is by far Rakhmonovs hardest test to date and whilst I do think he passes the test I don’t think this will be as one sided as the odds make out.

Agreed, I have bets on Neal. Was placed before weight miss though, I think that would have scared me off.

I love Shavkat. I genuinely, honest to god love him. He’s the type of fighter the roster desperately needs: Little talk, all action, no ********. This man looks and fights like the final boss of Street Fighter

Shavkat leaves his head on the center line too much. He gets hit a lot

Going with Shavkat by finish was dumb. I knew Neal had some of the best TD defense in the game, and I severely doubt he gets knocked out. This is gonna be a UD
