Benoit Saint Denis might just be a lot better than I thought he was. He took a beating in the first round against Zaleski dos Santos and never really recovered (but did somehow tough out a decision). Everybody else he’s finished. He also seems huge for the weight class- he had height and reach on Bonfim but his frame just looks massive on top of that too. Made it look very easy against a talented guy.
Brener stole the show imo
Still can’t believe Dawson had a draw with Ricky Glenn relatively recently. I feel like he’d have issues with the elite grapplers at his weight class but everybody else he’ll be able to take down and control.
Strickland did what he had to do.
Ruziboev has some pop. Rinat is a beast. Brito killed a guy he was supposed to kill. Morales has a bright future.
Romanov didn’t look pathetic this time out so that’s major progress
