Thought maybe ONeil just had a bad night against Maia, but it turns out that was just a legit fraud check.

I wonder if the finishing rate in Men’s Flyweight division is the same as women’s flyweight division.

Garbrant V Kelleher

Predictions: 9 of 12 Winners, 4 Perfect, 600 Points   |   Tied for 765th

Very interesting fight here. I think the critical factor is going to be Cody's speed. If he can keep this either at distance or very close in the clinch he should win this. The concern is always his chin, but if he can protect it that way Kelleher will not have the wrestling advantage he has won his recent fights with. Looking at the level of competition they have faced it really is not close and Cody is far more skilled. Kelleher has a punchers chance but I think Cody should take this if he is cautious and does not try to brawl with a brawler.

@sexy Beefer ATT has its fighters on a lot of good “supplements”, so that helps. Notice how most people who have **** cardio who go there end up being cardio machines

I don't really get why they would put Garbrandt v. Kelleher over something like Gaziev v. Buday, or even Ulanbekov v. Durden.

Kelleher needs to go straight to jail for having a beard on the back of his head.
