Covington's heart isn't in it anymore

Pantoja too good

Ian Machado Garry, DEC
Garry gets it done but he isn't that good, his first loss is soon

Neither are good, I'll probably just make my sandwich here
O'Neill vs. Lipski

O'Neill is better but not by much, O1.5 or pass

My faith in Tony might just be optimism because I really don’t want to see Tony loss to Paddy, that just be depressing, and honestly my faith in Tony makes me more hyped for the event

Stephen Thompson, TKO, R3
Love the Nomad but his lack of head movement insures he's going to sleep. Wonderboy is gonna put the 175 Boogeyman to rest.
