    2 - 1 (2)

    Webbiano = 37 - 19 (18)

    Aced the feature and co main.

    Pavlovich is certainly trying to be more technical on the feet since the Aspinall loss, hence my choice of decision, whereas I think most of the community thought it would be a KO,

    Ortega didn’t look as bad as I thought he would, but nevertheless, didn’t win a round. He’s way over the hill now and Aljo is still pretty damn good.

    But Walker man, I can’t believe he made it out of the 1st round let alone win. His fight IQ is borderline comedic at times, but fair play to him. Zhang looks good and will definitely find himself pushing the top 5 in a year or 2

    Pav really has lost his aggression since Tom, I was optimistic he'd find the shot, UD was a good shout.

    Ortega on the scales convinced me he was going to get Aljo his first KO lol, I picked him by ground and pound finish. Turned out to be a bland schooling on the feet.

    Mingyang didn't look as quick after the grappling. I think it took away that freshness that makes him so dangerous in the beginning, he's only 27 he'll be back. I still can't pick Walker to beat anyone in the top 15 :lol:

    In all fairness, Acosta showed a good set of whiskers. The pre Aspinall pav would have gone chasing the finish as soon as he landed something clean, ultimately his undoing against Aspinall so it’s understandable.

    I said while friends were streaming for me that is was the least soft I’ve seen Ortega for a while. But he very much seems to be over the hill. Still good enough to be compete, but I don’t see him ever getting another top 5 win ever again.

    Walker is just comedy gold and pure entertainment. When he ran in for the takedown after 1 second of the fight I could not stop laughing! I’m just glad I didn’t put an accumulator on because Walker of all people would have messed it up for me.
