Can you imagine having to walk back to the corner after losing all three rounds and facing the look in Fedor’s face?

Cheering for Davis.

Gibson is picking his shots well, but he’s not closing the deal.

Gibson’s had him a time or two, but didn’t jump in to finish.

Gibson looked fantastic. And now Raymond Daniels is showing a totally well rounded attack vs Stanonik. These prelims are nice.

Main card will be fun. The opener is going to be fireworks

Raymond throw those kicks with so much speed. Sometimes i forget he is like 40. Takedowns were on point too.
