After seeing JT dominate Krause, I do believe he'll do the same to Dhiego enroute to a TKO victory

I will make my decision and bet when I see how the first takedown attempt goes. If taylor can get it then it's his fight if he can't then Lima will knock him out

Man, Ishihara's takedown defense is...subpar, to say the least.

A lot of people are forgetting Krause is a lightweight Lima won't be overpowered the same way Krause was. Krause decided to make it a grappling match against someone bigger and stronger than himself

Can't stand Grishim has a real annoying voice why they got rid of goldie for this guy I don't know. Sounds like he's trying to hard as well

Let's play a drinking game everybody.

Every time Grisham says "in the MMA", take a drink.

The third round is theodorou's round. That's funny they keep talking about his great cardio. I don't remember it being that way against Thiago santos. Maybe my memory is broken but he's only ever won the 3rd round against fighter who have awful cardio and broken hands
