@Noxx 
If Rusty was right it's because the bone was exposed under the blood. But I missed the commentary after the announcement so IDK for sure.
It is a little odd that the reaction was so strong to a cut if the bone wasn't showing, and Buffer didn't even announce that it was a doctor stoppage. Which it definitely was, not like Connor's lol.

Tbh, I think it was a good call wither way, since Shore would've been worse off had the doc continued the fact.

Craig is a natural underdog and I’m use to him having that status, but I genuinely see no possible way he can win this matchup. Ciao is too crafty on the ground, too precise on the feet and extremely hard to put on the ground. Paul’s gonna get his ass knocked out

I wouldn't go as far to say Martinez is tailor made to lose against Aldo, but I also think Aldo wins this fight and I agree with most of your points. Martinez also hasn't fought any ranked fighters yet, where Aldo only lost to the absolute elite. Martinez does seem to struggle against boxing heavy and high pressure fighters. I'm not sure what Aldo's gameplan will be this fight, but I can definitely see a fight where Aldo doesn't allow Martinez to get his kick heavy striking going. If that's the case, then Martinez is basically screwed. Since he heavily relies on his kicks. Similar as his Factory X teammate Gutierrez. 

It remains to be seen how Aldo returns after this layoff. That's the one thing I'm worried about, but I still picked him to win.

Borralho is a great defensive fighter and doesn't get hit much. But also doesn't have very explosive offense. Easy Decision.

Paul Craig at +5OO is a juicy prospect. I see it going either way so I pick Craig for upset
