Belal Muhammad vs Jack Della Maddalena I’ll admit. I could be wrong on Della Maddalena’s wrestling. It’s borderline a 65. But I do know for sure his striking is a legit 75 as he out struck Burns 47 to 23. And being that we haven’t seen Della Maddalena in...

Lerone Murphy vs Josh Emmett For a moment, I thought Murphy had elevated his striking to a 75 because of what he did to Barboza. But he only out struck Ige 37 to 32. And the grappling exchanges went back and forth. Matter of fact Ige had almost 5...
