How our best picks did
The page named three best picks: Roman Dolidze (+120), Kevin Vallejos (-475) and Ryan Spann (+146). Dolidze and Vallejos won. Spann lost to Waldo Cortes Acosta by KO/TKO at 4:48 of the second round, so the three went 2-1.
The rematch call was the one the page argued hardest. It said Dolidze could have won the first fight and took him at plus money; he won all three judges’ cards in the rematch, by ESPN’s result.
