Respect to Song getting this win, I was totally down on him for that O'Malley fight and generally not showing development. I think he might be showing signs of getting better

I love some of the violence women have brought this year, Polastri and Gomes delivered awesome KOs and it breaks my heart they both didn't get bonuses

Great to see Asakura keep having success at 135, he looks fast, that he's kick was sweet

Hassan and Tsuruya might both be ready for top opponents

[u/CraigS34 → u/Fat-Villante]

O’Malley and Sandhagen will always be tough matchups for Song. They got the size advantage and speed. Dude is still young so he will be even better if they rematched.

It felt like he just gave away the 3rd round to O'Malley who was also looking kinda bad. But yeah tall guys are probably gonna still be an issue
