Very dramatic win for Magnum... Well deserved!
Barbarian is really tough, but Kowalski backs down from no one and I'll be surprised if he doesn't move on. Roll 'em up!

Oh there's a rare finish. Why I don't typically predict.
Brisco has become one of my faves so definitely hope he advances.

The referee is unable to maintain order and someone is getting a bye through the next round as a result... WOW!
Animal is fierce, but Jack B is EXTRAORDINARY!
