Two cats with standout performances were Said Nurmagomedov & Jimmy Crute 

Jun Yong Park and Gillian Robertson were super dominate and hats off to James Krause for handling business on one leg!

Jéssica Andrade body shots are straight nasty

AND Brian Ortega, MAN he levelled up so much, it's like he went in the cage with the walkthrough guide 

There's also some NFL recap and today's (ep 98) @ChinCheckPod breaks it all down, so let's get with it!
