WEIGH IN VIDEO OF THE 3 FIGHTS:

[Eff Pandas]

Kinda looking forward to this whole card. Think there is some upset potential in both fights & despite being a Dirrell fan I think I'm straight up favoring & picking Uzcategui.

[BM dnobagaV]

Solid card.

I pray Russell is in a unification after this fight.

[TheUptownKid]

I don't think Russell brings the bread to lure other champs. I think escandon is a live fighter though and can present problems. That being said war Russell and I do want him to get a unification shot soon

[Hatesrats]

I got both Russell Jr. & Uzcategui to win by KO/TKO

Uzcategui is 7/1 ? wth ?

This has Upset KO written all over it

Escandon is a tough, underrated fighter. Put $10 down on him to upset Russell. Going Barthelemy by decision and Uzcategui by KO
