Eddie Mustafa was doing good, they paid off a ref!

Good read with Tunney and DM.

Fitz and Greb now guaranteed to go through to the next stage of the MDT, regardless of the result next week.

Greb is a beast. Another pretty one side win. His punch output and connection rate are always consistently high. He just wore down EMM.

Fitz with a pretty solid beatdown over a solid CPU opponent.

Tunny - DM was a close, tense fight. Prior to the stoppage, 2 cards even and Tunney down by 3, despite 2 KDs (ok, he was dropped, briefly)...not sure how that judge had Tunney down at that point.
