Thanks Gio.

Dana’s rant at the end of the last episode still makes me laugh. ‘Be like Joe Pyfer.’ Then Pyfer wearing a t-shirt that says ‘Be like Joe Pyfer.’ You can’t make this stuff up.

Anyhow, here’s to a good show tonight with everyone trying to be like … you know … Joe Pyfer.

I like your picks. All finishes. Hell yeah!

Might as well it's not like i actually know who any of these fighters are. It's all just a roll of the dice.

Suzart is a sacrificial lamb. Waldo Cortes-Acosta is the closest thing to a lock you will see on the Contender Series.

The matches have to be better than last week. Don’t make Uncle Dana walk out again.

How so just by their records Suzart is 9-1-0 going against a gut that is 6-0?

I've seen them both fight multiple times. Suzart is ok. Cortes-Acosta is good.

It's HW, so anything is possible, but I haven't been particularly impressed by Suzart. Meanwhile, Cortes-Acosta KO'd Thomas Petersen who is a legit prospect.

Suzart has never beaten anyone nearly as good. Five of his wins are over opponents who have never won a fight.

The only guy I recognize here is Waldo Cortes-Acosta. Used to bludgeon guys in Bellator and LFA. No one else though. Are these guys any good? Don't think I've ever recognized so few names.

This belt looks familiar.
Wonder who ripped off who

My only concern is I think Suzart might have one of those Brazilian block heads like Carlos Felipe.

Charlie Campbell and Chris Duncan are both good imo, both Bellator vets.

I saw Smotrisky's last fight against UFC vet William Macario too and he looked a lot better than he did on the show last year.

Five fights. Solid!
