Why tf does Machado get a contract truly don’t understand. I really don’t even think Borjas should have either but i’m fine with that.

Lessons taken from Week 1: Never doubt a Glory Kickboxer unless they are completely washed or undersized, and any heavyweight w/ a decent record will be signed

Me Too. At least watching CM Punk fight is a hilarious ****show. This on the other hand? It's literally the equivalent of watching Despicable Me 3: Nothing barely happens when you witness it, and exists only just for the sake existing. It's cancer.
