Did Terry ever finish his PhD?

I fear his mma career has peaked.

yeah

by the time you’ve cut down from heavyweight to welterweight and lost at every step of the way (barring a brief run at MW glory) it’s probably time to move on.

Thoughts

Marcus Davis needs to retire and ASAP. If you saw his post fight interview, the guy isnt going to have a functional life if he keeps this up. I love how the guy fights, but I fear for his safety. Being tired doesnt coincide with forgetting your “good buddy’s” name in Georgia. Trigg even felt uneasy about the situation. We’re looking at another Rainmaker from Lights Out in the making.

In addition, Franca needs a new entrance sound.

I was surprised that both Franca and Spratt won. Spratt is 40+ and has not looked good (including this fight) in quite a while.

Marcus Davis.Exciting fight but . . . yeah I agree with you. Trigg looked at him like, “Yo, if you can’t spit it out, then I need to save you. You need to get your head straight before answering questions.”
Hey, at least Phil Baroni realizes that he can no longer speak like he used to. But unfortunately, he’s still fighting.

I tend to be biased towards strikers . . . exciting strikers.
