Recap: Making up for a minor slip-up near the end of his turn with a couple of solid freestyles and then getting right back on his grind of piercing punchlines, witty barbs and fiery heat/wordplay allows Cortez to edge this Don’t Flop 1-rounder over a hitting at times, but mostly middle-of-the-road Ark.
Verdict: Cortez (W) 1-0
Favorite line: Cortez – “National anthem, I let it sing and then it’s caps off!”
