As a big Prograis supporter, the man just fights and takes on anyone, this makes me happy. Not just that he won, but how he won. He had to dig deep and outwork an opponent that had as much to win for and also had a ton to lose. What a gutty win. Props to both men.

I do agree that Prograis may only have a little left to offer, but man he will throw all he has in the center of that ring regardless of what is next.

I could see him facing Norman in the future

Prograis was never more than a glorified journeyman with decent tools. The fact that Pillow Fists Devin dropped him speaks volumes. I bet Hitchins will fight Regis next.

Glad they put on a good spectacle, but these two need to retire. The punishment they both are taking is concerning. There should be some kind of official meter to gauge when a fighter in their 30s should hang up their gloves, honestly, a way of forcing them out of the sport. With football, at least once a player stops performing well no team will want him.

The fact that Prograis struggled to get a close decision against Diaz shows that he is done not only at elite level, but also in general. He will lose his next fight and probably get knocked out.

He now has benn calling for Matias. I think he needs to stay away from that fight!

Always liked Rougarou but you could see he was starting to slip in the Zorilla fight. His punch resistance looked compromised against Haney and when I saw Catterall put him on Bambi legs I knew his chin was completely shot to bits.

Last night was entertaining but still hard to watch because his absolute inability to take a punch was on full display. JoJo hasn't showed punching power in nearly a decade and 10lbs ago.

Regis gets sparked out ugly by the next decent fighter he steps in with.

It's definitely a dangerous fight for him, BUT at least Matias doesn't dance around or run, he comes forward and wants to brawl, so there is the slightest of hope for Prograis. (I mean, let's be honest, it's so thin you can see through it, but still..)

The doctor from this fight needs to be banned from the sport.

When he checked on Diaz's eye, he asked Diaz at least 6 times how many fingers he was holding up and Diaz got it wrong at least 3 times.
