It’s crazy to think LaGrange got slam KO by Brandon Holmes and now he’s gonna probably get a contract while Holmes has to wait next year. This sport is wild man.

I think this is a cakewalk for Ariano. Bold to take a Frenchie after Guillon pussed out last week but I'm not taking an undersized short notice guy like this. Last time I did that was last season with Donovan Hedrick and that didn't end well

I think LaGrange (he’s hittable) but has a chin on him very slick bjj and one punch KO power. I’m done taking frenchmen.

Short-notice replacements take risks others won’t. That deserves a shot. Would you want Holmes to accept a short-notice fight for the same opportunity?

Bro Holmes is cooked 0-2 with them being B2B TKOs in the first his only chance is a short notice call up
