McKee at -200 is alright
Souza is very good though. I'm a bit of a believer in his abilities too. I think if he can get a hold of McKee then he can drag him down and control him en route to a decision, although both of them have to be careful on the ground.

McKee -200 seems reasonable to me, though.

I think pitbull is clearly winning on aggression and damage so far

koike's teep kick to the face still very dangerous though on top of the already existing submission threat

aggression and damage are valued way more than control in rizin so I guess McKee is winning

Satoshi won IMO. Close AF tho. McKee may regret being so willing to grapple 

Hmmmm, not sure about that. Unanimous for McKee?  I guess grappling doesn't count for much in Japan either

I had Satoshi winning and thought McKees takedown defense and striking looked really mediocre. He needs to go back to 145lbs, he isn't beating Tofiq, Usman, Shabliy or Mansour at 155lbs in Bellator. At 145 I'm not confident he beats Khirziev either.
