@Joshjeffords 
I was really hoping that fight against Spann would’ve goner longer in order to see if Reyes was hesitant & less aggressive. He’s really only lost to the best so I don’t wanna out right say he’s washed yet, he may just have a weaker chin now

Reyes looked like he was drunk in that fight. His movmement and defense he enjoyed in jis prime were completely gone in the Spann fight. Idek why he’s coming back for more

Malott looks promising. Let's see if he can get past a solid vet in Magny. I think he can.

Glad to see Rakic back. With a win over Jan he's right back in the picture at 205. I think he shows up and gets the W likely by DEC.

Curtis SHOULD outbox marc Andre but volume could be his downfall against a heavy volume and pressure style. Let's see.

Allen showed that dog in him against Max. I'm backing him for the W.

Gillian Robertson should get the dub here. The only worry is the submission attempts from bottom of Polyana.

@DamienHandel420 
I think you like it better because there are not as many 'older veterans' Vs. 'young prospects'

My opinion is a bit more nuance that that, I don’t necessarily hate young vs old fighter, I just hate it when it sad, espcally hate watching fighter like Tony Ferguson fight because he so shot, really want Tony to retire because it just super depressing
