I always do a final check. This year, I did it prior to the last event and added the last one. In the last few overalls, Rei was in second. when I did the final check, Rei was actually in fourth. And it looks like I'm going to have to combine the 2nd and 3rd place prizes and divide them in half, since there is a tie for second.

I thought it was a great card until the title fights.  Colby specifically just didn't even show up.

Yeah the undercard had some great fights/finishes. After Emmett sent mitchell to the shadow realm the fights were lackluster though. Colby was the biggest disappointment of the night for sure. I'm surprised Leon couldn't finish him in the later rounds. I'd like to see Shavkat next, Leon probably beats Belal easily.

Covington all bark no bite. Feels like DeJa'Vu from when Sonnen was talking himself into title fights. Next stop Bellator, fighting other past prime former UFC fighters. Although the landscape has changed a lot in Bellator thank fuck. 

How do we think Shavkhat fairs against Leon? He is a much different breed of grappler than the American wrestler like Usman and Colby.

Yeah I think Shavkat is the next fight to make.

Honestly I think he can beat Leon. I’d side with Leon over Garry and Belal. But shavkat is a different guy. The pressure and grappling he has would wear Leon down. If Colby had success later on with one leg he’s in trouble with shavkat. If Leon had legit power to KO dudes I’d probably go with Leon over shavkat but rn shavkat by Submission in the later rounds

When somebody said DDP, I thought they were talking about Diamond Dallas Page...

@Jacman and @Fallen.Angel, you won just over 270k each, do you want it, some of it, or roll it all over?
