I was happy to see he didn’t get tired tho, if he gets matched up with somebody with  really good grinding wrestling he’s probably gonna gas.

Vallejos lost and is only 21, but i wouldn't mind if Dana signed him. He's better than a lot of the recent winners from this season.

Don’t get it twisted, Just cuz he beat up on a green 21yr old kid that doesn’t kno to run his feet when he going for tds doesn’t mean Silva is proven after this.
