Props to Daniel Strauss in becoming the new FW champ. He fought his type of grinding fight and outworked Curran to take the decision. Curran really didn't have a sense of urgency in the later rds and really needs to work on being more active.

Emmanuel Newton is outworking King Mo right now.

He gassed in round 3. He looked awesome for the first 7 minutes. He's one of my favorite guys to watch but he's really a waste of potential...

He looked tired at the end of the first. He just lost to an awful LHW. He's decent to watch, nothing too exciting.

Emmanuel is not an awful LHW. He's certainly not elite but awful is a ridiculous exaggeration/reeks of UFC dikkriding. Both guys are journeymen at this point.

I didn't want to agree but Mo is really overrated. He has good wrestling but terrible cardio/chin. Still sad he lnp Mousasi da gawd

He's been relatively terrible since the staff infection and really I think he peeked around the Mousasi fight. He was once a bright prospect but his increasingly bad cardio, which was never that good, will always be a liability .
