I hope Hyder works on the cardio between this and next. Sonmez brings a grapple heavy approach and can’t even stand at the end the fight looking absolutely awful In a fight he could have won

Realistically, if Amil was decent at all, he would've got a 1st round finish

Horrible fight IQ from Amil, failing to jump on countless opportunities for ground and pound to instead chase submissions that tired him out more than anything. Sonmez proved he is only a panic-wrestler with 0 stand-up skills. Neither of these guys will get a UFC contract and I'll be surprised if they ever win another fight in a major promotion.

another low level fight here, banking on Paulo surviving the 1st and Aslan dying but won't be surprised if Aslan sparks him

I still don't know if Anton is UFC level or not. I guess if he beats Pedro then he deserves to be the worst LHW on the roster

Renato isn't UFC level, so Aslan should win if he is
