A few things
1 if mvp wins obviously stolley is a "can" because "cans" go 13-1 . I'm not the biggest mvp fan but jesus he sure is living rent free in a lot of people's heads .
Lima vs jackson has moved to a later event.

Fabian edwards if he gets past machida well one I believe machida should retire and as for fabian I think he ranked 4th but he definitely needs a few more wins before fighting for the belt.

Good for Storley. I wait for people to dump on Page as a can crusher.

Love Machida but he's done. He needs to retire.

Big bounce back for Kana after getting destroyed in her first loss.

Great way for Daley to call it a career.

Sad Trainer lost but he'll learn and Biyong is not a slouch.

Also, nice to see Weichel get a nice win and we got the Bellator debut of the buggy choke.

What's next my opinion
Storely vs amasov if not the winner of lima Jackson
Mvp the loser of lima jackson or possibly even korshekov.
Fabian lorenz larkin or maybe even anatoly tokov heaps of options for him .
Machida needs to hang them up
Kana I think either ilima Mae macfarlan or julianna velasquez.

As for mvp his opponent can be 100-0 they would still call that guy a can.

Agree on all that.

This fight is like watching something deadly. MVP's face is covered with blood and had so much injury. But yes an amazing and worth-watching fight.
