Even without that, though, the event would have been a success thanks to strong performances from Shane Burgos, Nordine Taleb and Cowboy Cerrone. We got a little more help from the judges, though not nearly as egregiously as the week before. Bernardo, for her part, faces the decidedly not-good Melissa Gatto, whom the former can outstrike, outwrestle, and outgrapple with ease.
