I hope Smith wins, he deserves a world title I think he’s an underrated fighter, he recently improved a lot…
Damn, no love at all for Teixeira…. I’m picking Castano too, but I’m hoping Teixeira wins.
Good cards for a nice 4 day weekend…
I can’t wait to see Teixeira vs. Castano. I know Castano will apply a mean streak, but we will see if Teixeira will include his own mean streak. I pick Castano to win.
Best fight could be Jo Jo Diaz vs. Rakhimov. I like Castaño over Teixeira. Castaño vs. Tszyu could be a hell of a fight.
I like Smith, but Bivol schooled him, this may be as far as he goes.
