I'm so glad to see Trey Lippe morrison back, I was wondering if he'd retired. I thought he looked awesome againt 13-0 Ed Latimore back in 2016.

I feel like Ajagba has been regressing in his fights since he was dropped by Kiladze.

You mother fuckers!

I lived in Tulsa all my damn life and the best you guys could give me was a FNF card like 10+ years ago, and now that I'm gone theyre gonna do Braekhus-McCaskill I and Smith-Vlasov within like an eight month span?

Bull****!

Out of all the other 2017 prospects - Yoka, Dubois, Joyce, Hrgovic, Sanchez - it feels like Ajagba is moving a little slower then they are. I'd expect by now Ajagba would've fought for one of those smaller regional titles like the usba or something.

Looking forward to this card! Good main event and some excellent young prospects!

He's definitely been having some growing pains. I think people think guys ain't sh^t or aren't as good as they previously thought just cuz they have some bad fights or less than impressive performances while still a prospect. I'm still on the Efe war wagon. This is his best or one of his best opponents so this should show where's he's at. I think they got plenty of time to turn him into something. I'd still throw money on him getting a title shot one day. Idk if he wins it or gets KO'd in 2, but I think its a good bet he'll at least get that far.

And lets not forgot if Teo was a stock plenty of mfers woulda been selling him like crazy after that Nakatani fight & that'd been the wrong move.

I liked Ajagba and still do. I thought he looked real good against Demirezen. He had to go the full distance against an undefeated opponent, who was a decorated amateur, for the full 10 rounds. Kiladze and, to a lesser extent, Cojanu were able to hilight some defensive weaknesses. Against Rice, he underwhelmed and seemed less aggressive. It may take some time under Koroma to get comfortable and correct some of the holes in his game. Hopefully he can get there because he's typically enjoyable to watch in the ring.
