Second and third round the damage output advantage was too large for JDM for even the judges to be fooled but even round 1 is his according to the scoring criteria in my opinion since he landed half a dozen or so solid hard shots to the chin of Hafez. The official numbers has it 13 significant strikes to Hafez 8 in that first but really there was a lot more pop on the JDM side and I'd say the strike numbers there should be 2 to 1 for him.

Jack Della Maddalena, DEC
Yes, the main event is a rematch of one of the biggest title fight upsets but if you a MF that loves seeing a homeless man fight a crackhead this is the fight for you.
Both fighters are coming in with the ability to stop the other on the feet or ground however this fight is probably going to be more of a warrior code fight with both men looking to exploit any weakness in the other.
This is just one of those fights where you cant really predict as there are too many variables to take into consideration but one thing that I am excited about is that this fight will give us a better indication of what level JDM is at. If Holland wins I don't think this does much for him I mean he literally said this week to the press that he isn't aiming for the title but just wants to fight and that I respect.
This fight screams JUST BLEED

Alexa Grasso, DEC
This one is so hard to pick. I’m saying Grasso outboxes her and Valentina is afraid of losing again so she doesn’t go full force.
Cortez vs. Jasudavicius
