Rare Sherdog W, but their bout order makes even less sense than Tapology's. Why tf are the Hughes and Hokit fights so high up the damn card?

Caldwell looks good! As long as his cardio doesn't betray him again I think he's back. Unfortunately he burned me too many times and I didn't pick him lol

Well Nikita's over doubled the significant strikes, so maybe he'll get this round and win a controversial decision?

It's 1-1. Caldwell did no damage. Mikhailov at least landed some decent shots from bottom/even when his back was taken

Mikhailov should be denied re-entry into Russian after being taken down like this
