Larkin vs. Berkhamov
Lorenz Larkin, DEC
Larkin was winning the fight last time and Berkhamov took an easy way out hoping for a DQ win. Not sure why he's the favorite, people are probably just betting on all the Russians

Mowry vs. Isaev
Steve Mowry, TKO, R1
USA USA USA

Bates vs. Lugo
Jornel Lugo, DEC
Lugo is more tested but Bates is very good

Hokit vs. Ishiguro

Damn, Lara might actually snap her losing streak on Diana's Russian ass. Bates is 100% losing lmao, this just confirms it even more

I’m still on the fence about who wins that now. Skill for skill Diana should destroy her, but missing weight makes me a little concerned. That being said it’s wmma so who knows what’s gonna happen now

I mean, I wouldn't say Diana shoulddestroy her since she's only fought one girl with a pulse, and that was a midget. She's very untested so realistically she could go the way of Yankova and get exposed.

Diana fight could definitely go either way. Hard to be confident in low level WMMA. Small play on Fedor. Odds should definitely be wider for Bader

Yeah, Karl should win. Neal is way too one dimensional, and that one dimension isn't strong enough to shut down Albrektsson imo.

Going from fighting Christian Edwards to Karl Albrektsson is a massive jump.

Anyone have any thoughts on Gracie/Schiro?

The more I look into this fight the more I'm reminded I've been very impressed with Schiro everytime I watch him fight.
