    When does this start? Think Madisval might be able to pull this off if he can keep off his back

    Noons starts first round mixing strikes with takedown attempts. Evangelista mauls KJ through most of the round by following through with strong takedown attempts that Noons has to fight off. Evangelista walking thru Noons punches. Looks stronger. Round to Evangelista.

    Noons has been going down hill since the first time I seen him. Looks terrible in recent fights

    Noons takes the second by keeping Evangelista at the end of his kicks and punches. Evangelista still lands a couple heavy punches.

    Good fight missed the first but I thought it was Billy's really close fight but entertaining

    Third round is a WAR. Good punching exchanges. Noons landing trickier shots but Evangelista landing the harder shots in my eyes. Noons attempts takedown mid round but gets caught in standing guillotine which Evangelista converts to anaconda - Noons has to drop to his belly to escape. Was literally almost unconscious. Noons closes with strong punches. I think evangelista did more damage throughout but Noons got his own pound of flesh. Round to Evangelista.

    Cyborg going to murder someone tonight again. She's so far ahead of the others it seems unfair. Moussasi first though :D

    I don't have a problem with Noons getting the nod. He did outland Evangelista.

    Mousasi vs OSP up next!

    :yep

    It's interesting when a fighter focuses on their hands and feet though. Noons implements it well and excitingly. He throws counters you wouldn't see thrown by most MMA fighters, from what I've seen.
