    That elbow did a lot of damage even if unintentional

    He was out after that first one. Just holding on on instinct.

    I'm not even sure he's a sure bet to beat Benavidez.

    Great finish from Jai.

    Liked how he looked tonight mostly, fluid and looser, not loading up as much as I've seen him in the past.

    He still has vulnerability which is the exciting thing!

    Opetaia punished him nicely for the holding, used his free hand well there. Still doesn't punch hard enough to keep Benavidez off him though... In my opinion at least

    Opetaia was being nice with that stoppage. He was waiting for the ref to stop the fight and when the ref didn't, he landed a couple more shots.
