Great bounceback card for me after having a really rough month in the last 3 cards. I'm glad I pushed through hours 16-21 of being awake because I hit every livebet but I missed a majority of the prebets.

Poirier needs to finally switch to the tight shorts. Can't defend your head if you're constantly pulling up your shorts lol.

This was a fire card with all finishes except the CJ and Pereira win. I took a gamble with my Tony pick and I don't regret it. Gaethje will probably and deservedly also get a bonus for that nasty KO on top of this win. I hope Dustin bounces back his next fight, because I hate seeing him getting finished like that.
