Got to agree.
Pyle has too much game to get repeatedly airlifted the way Nate Diaz did, but IMO Pyle is about as good as he can get, and MacDonald is still pretty far from his glass ceiling…
Awesome fight which will probably make the main card now Aldo v Mendes isnt happening. I’d put this fight on Spike purely to entice the new viewer because it’s got FOTN written all over it.
