About 18 or 19 post-fight bonuses between Guida and Oliveira

IN!!

Romero gonna dominate tonight. He hesitated too much last time. Bobby Knuckles love the guy, but Yoel is the better athlete. Rob has better hands, Yoel more power. We’ll see how it goes.. I wish they both could win. Hope we have a good fight.

Missed the Ige fight. How did it go?

Anybpdy remember the forum poster that used to post here? Not Chicago Tom, but the kid that was younger, made a big thread about weed or something like that? I'm sure nobody will remember, but it was worth asking.

18

This Mf is gonna have an adrenaline dump he keeps screaming like that..

19

Guida looks hyped as fuck

Clay either about to grapplefuck Charles or get subbed. GNP beatdown from top, or Oliveira is going to take an arm. Charles is a lazy fighter.. likes to lay on his back. I think Clay is about to outhustle him, possibly even get the stoppage..
