Lamas Last Five:

W - Koch (TKO2)
W - Hioki (UD)
W - Swanson (Sub2)
W - Grice (TKO1)
L - Alcantara (KO1)

KZ's Last Five:

W - Poirier (Sub4)
W - Hominick (KO1)
W - Garcia (Sub2)
L - Roop (KO2)
L - Garcia (BS SD)

Personally i would want KZ to get the title shot with a twister sub win over Garcia and the fastest KO over Hominick and he subbed Poirier with his own go to sub

Congrats to Clay on his victory.

Lamas deserves it.

KZ Vs Guida or Hioki next IMO. He needs another fight to sharpen up before taking on Aldo. If Swanson beats Poirier (I think he will) KZ Vs Swanson for the next title shot would be a lot of fun with some unorthodox striking and quick scrambles.

Lamas' run has been excellent.

Bigunit how did you not score the first two rounds for Dodson? DJ was coming forward but ineffective.

I had it 3-2 MM with him winning the last two very clearly, could've scored the last 10-8. But he was getting outsped, couldn't keep Dodson down and was dropped a couple of times early. Took him a while to sustain any sort of dominance.


Dodson Vs Lineker, make it Shelby.

I didnt give Dodson the first round but i think most people scored it like me with MM 1st, 4th and 5th and Dodson 2nd and 3rd

[Flea Man]

I felt the 3rd was pretty close as MM came on as the round came to a close.

2nd round was all Dodson.

McCall/Benavidez, Moraga would be solid tests for Johnson next up. I don't see anyone knocking him off his perch but McCall might be able to get something going over 5 rounds but he'll need to make affair few adjustments after their second fight.

Uncle Creepy was a tough assignment next up, have no idea how that goes but McCall gets hit more and Benavidez can whack. Intriguing as fook.

I must be misremembering then. But I cannot see a 4-1 score.

Flea Man,

It was a 'push' round, IMO. Opening rounds are usually like that (dull, flat, lots of feeling out). No one really did anything to truly earn anything. So I gave it to Johnson for more pressure. However, I will admit (through divine intervention) I missed the first minute and a half of the first round.

The second round, obviously, was all Dodson.

The thing is the weightclass is a bit thin at the top MM has already won over both those guys and the biggest test was/is Dodson

[Stoo]

Was it just me or did it look like Page had one more fight left in him (Bader rematch]

Mighty Mouse is my favorite current fighter other than Big Nog. Watched it with a few mates and they were all losing their shit

Just watched the fight with Wiman again. What an absolute destruction! That was scary, considering that Wiman is a very good fighter and tough as nails. Grant looked really impressive.
