Q: What are the potential outcomes for Tai Tu Vasa versus Jairzinho Rosenstruck?
Rosenstruik is expected to dominate, utilizing his jab effectively against Tui Vasa’s lack of defensive skills and advanced striking technique.
535 - Ultimate F#@king Cringe
Q: What do you make of Steve Ersegg versus Kai Kara-France?
Steve Ersegg is a very good fighter and should match up well against Kai Kara-France, who struggles with counterpunching and is smaller than him.
539 - Happy Mexico Day, or whatever
Q: What do you think of Brian Ortega versus Diego Lopez?
I'm going to pick Ortega in this because I do not think Lopez is top 10 material.
