 I don't think Ribovics loses anything here. He's still so young and he'll learn from this experience. Plus, he showed a lot of good stuff. Looking forward to see him fighting again

For Radzhabov this fight is short notice it was a much better opportunity than participating in the TUF. Second week in a row with the debut of fighters from Takijistan and both debut with victory.

That’s what’s weird, I always say this sometimes takedowns matter then next thing you know they don’t. He did nothing with those takedowns, Ribovics got up from each one of them and even threw up submissions each time, and got reversals, in all fairness Ribovics won that fight, did more damage as well. Fickle judging per usual

I have a feeling that Radzhabov's popularity and social media following are both gonna skyrocket up, and also that Farid is gonna make a statement and prove he ay be even better than his brother. Idk why, but I just have a feeling he's gonna demolish Da'Mon

Really hope Blackshear doesn’t play parlay buster. He’s really good, but I think he drops rds 2/3

 If Basharat looks anything like his brother then he definitely gets the win here. I feel bad for blackshear he isn’t a bad 135er but he won’t be able to hold up against Farid.
