Tewa Kiram looks huge and a total unknown from Thailand, the land of Sor Rungvisai. Going for the upset here...

Damn Kiram does look huge dude looks like a MW, hope Lucas can pull it off but it might not be easy at this point in his career

Kiram doesn't look that intimidated!... Could be the sand in the gears of the machina...
Also, like ...how big is Linares? Jesus...

Thought Kiram would be a lot taller for some reason, he's only like 1.5" taller in that face off, idk what kinda shoes they had on tho

I took a chance and put 5 bucks on Kiram. The pay out was 35 bucks, so I figured why not
