Dixon is Done....Dunne is not.

Tough way for Miller to lose. He was doing well.
I think Dixon will still have some good fights in this tourney. Not sure how he did up until the loss.
Pedroza is just out gunned vs Armstrong. Coming in under-trained did him no favors either.

Yeah, Vicente seemingly dodged a bullet there opening up that horror gash on Miller in R6, looked to still be in with a shout but Freddie was piling on the pressure.
