I hope this ends in a snoozefest decision, it would make for a truly unforgettable card.

When I see those big dudes I kinda don't want to see Bobby ever to move up to 205.

Anyone know what’s going on with Volk’s cheek? He’s had a band aid on it for a few days now.

Beautiful how Volk is just floating on top no matter how Rodriguez twists and turns.

Very natty arm veins on Du Plessis

I have it 49:46 for Pantoja, but that sounds way more one sided than it was.

Fuuuuck I love this, Pantoja!!!

There was never any chance for that guillotine.
