Galdi, Heads up not sure why no one's caught on to this and I'm going to hit JP up as well bc he might have a better shot of asking Fitz but he's tweeted on every UFC fight I've watched and he gives round scores it's awesome! Pretty cool with everything he has going on including 7 little ones he still watches all the fights maybe it's what keeps him Frosty!
