Someone said he's a middleweight. He seems like he's in the right weight class to me. He's not small and it's not like he has too much fat on him

He obviously is a good striker with low level grappling. There's no other explanation why he would get dominated by Anton

Pretty sure "Turkiye" (with various accent marks) is the native spelling and "Turkey" is the traditional English spelling.

I picked Klein to win, he had a solid path to victory with the grappling and is a better technical striker

Well Turkiye/Ottoman Empire was founded in the pre medieval days or something where there was probably some ancient turkey dinosaurs or something... So turkeys came first
