bad fight for Eddie. Diamond is a thug. fans win

3

Good scrap. Big opportunity for Dustin. 

4

If Eddie makes this a wrestling / grappling match he will win a boring decision

5

Risky fight for Alvarez and potential slober knocker... IN

6

Eddie by better chin

7

Tough fight but hopefully Dustin can pull it out.

8

awesome fight

9

A loss for either guy would be catastrophic at this stage of their respective careers. It's a tough spot for the fighters but it gives the fight edge, gives it consequence. I.e. It matters, generates interest and it's one I personally can't wait for. 

Great matchmaking...

No. Dustin grappling is much improved -  see the Duffy and Miiller fights. I got Dustin by momentum alone.
