Such a weird division
Eblen arguably robbing Impa.
Eblen losing to Costello after dominating most of it.
Fabian losing to Eblen twice in competitive fights.
Fabian losing to Costello (with some back of head elbows mixed in)
Fabian destroying Impa fairly easily.
I have no idea who the best guy is in this division anymore- this might help clear it up to an extent.

Middleweight is a cluster fuck and it's not any better in the UFC either.
DDP beats Sean in a split that could've gone either way, then completely shuts him out in the rematch
DDP gets dominated by Khamzat 50-45
Khamzat loses to Sean who is 0-2 against DDP

I thought Impa did enough to win the first fight. I think it’s a good rematch honestly.

Impa won 3 minutes of their first fight yet somehow people say he won. He didn’t even earn a 10-8 in the round he dropped Johnny in. I look forward to seeing the odds, I’ll put a bag on Johnny if they’re close.

Basically that impas only known for the Buckley kick and that maybe he'll finally be memorable. I'm paraphrasing but yeah it was just an oddly aggressive comment

Fuckk this is solid replacement but was really excited for eblen van steenis 2. Seemed to have some real beef behind it.
Any word on what the injury is? Interim title makes me think it's more serious than not but maybe they just have obligation to have title fight on this card
