Swanson/Poierer had the FOTN, nice back and forth scrap.

Barao showing off that Nova Uniao excellence, cool to see 2 champions from the same camp fight on the same weekend and defend their titles with Dantas winning on Thursday.

MM wasn't aggressive enough and was just looking for that big counter, Barao is very quick with transitions. The way he got him down and quickly locked in that arm triangle :obama: A shame Cruz is still awhile from being healthy because I would really like to see those 2 fight.

Whats the timetable for his return? Will he be able to go this year? There is literally no other fight to make in that division

For real though, maybe Menjivar if he beats Faber but he just lost to Mike Easton two fights ago. Raphael Assuncao has looked good at 145 but he probably still needs another couple wins.

totally disagree. He has a great chance. I think it's going to be a very good fight but a it could backfire for Joe Silva like it usually does. Santiago is legit at 170. What's crazy is Gunnar is still bigger. He's big as shyt if you saw the weigh ins. I didn't know he was that big.

It was funny, on twitter the writers were all tweeting "holy shyt somebody tell Gunnar he's a LHW."

:scheme:
