    Are you sure the judges didn't give Larkin 4 and 5? Larkin was busier in both rounds.

    He's a good counter striker too... About as good as you'll see in MMA. He was reeling against Koreshkov and down on the cards before catching him with a left hook that turned his lights off, the counter hook he landed while Larkin had him reeling served as the momentum shift that turned the fight in his favor here as well.

    Maybe. But they might have given him 1 as well.

    This feels the MMA equivalent of Lomachenkos debut. Solid opponent for a debut, an insane amount of hype behind him(for good reason)

    I liked Lima's performance tonight. He used his jab well and didn't press Larkin too hard and give him a chance to use his speed advantage.

    Lima impressed me tonight but I'm still not sold on his stamina. This wasn't a particularly physical, fast paced fight. I think he and Rory will be more physical, with a lot more grappling. I think Rory is the next champion.

    Well, that is why you don't put 0-0 fighters in with 8-2 opponents.

    I watched this and thought Freeman might survive an early onslaught and submit Pico.

    I still thought Pico would land some heavy shots early and get what may/may not be an early stoppage.

    Well done, Zach!

    I didn't even add Pico/Freeman to the months fights. What an upset

    I like Primus but don't think he is ready for a fight on this level. I hope he proves me wrong.

    Don't care about MMA or know these guys to care enough. Just waiting for Chael/Silva I hope Chael can pull this off though. Don't think I can listen to the dudes podcast anymore if he loses again.
