Alves for all his TD defense couldn't stop Fitch's TD's the way Penn did. Diaz has the questionable TD game not Penn.

I said BJ has questionable takedowns and I think I saw him make a few attempts in each round although not very committed ones seeing as he was already hurting with his back to the cage.
