I find it pretty funny that last weeks card didn't seem that interesting, and yet was actually pretty good damn card, and this card seemed pretty good only to currently not be all that it was cracked up to be.

tbf to mago, it's pretty hard not to gas when you've landed that many power shots/kicks and have had so many adrenaline dumps. Finishing Medina unless by sub seems damn near impossible

@be nice 
   Only feel this way because his opponent was a can. Gadzhiyasulov was supposed to find a finish and didn't, sure he has nice striking but that's kinda expected from a k1 fighter. Even if he does earn a contract it's hard to guage if he is ready for the pinnacle.

Why is he called Torres Caut, when his Tapology page says Matias Torres?

I think he'll get a contract.  Pretty underwhelming performance/result as on paper it looked like a showcase fight for Gadzhiyasulov, but it's LHW and they need bodies.  Same deal as with HW.
