Not a terrible main card

[jax]

2 big fights for sure, then some others that arnt too bad I guess.

[Hired_Merc]

Think the main card is great personally, all of the fights should be bangers

[Kickass32]

I'm iffy on the opening 2....they could end up being good, I'm just on the fence about them at the moment

[Kickass32]

Fuck....I just realized I forgot to put up a PC for this.....I was just about to make my picks. Gawd damn it.....sorry fellas

[Kickass32]

Emily Whitmire hospitalized after bad weight cut....fight with Viana has been cancelled

[Kickass32]

Ah....thanks buddy

[Kickass32]

I haven't watched yet but I heard JJ/Zhang was good and the main sucked.....although I saw Blue tweeted out he thought Romero actually won the fight

[Kickass32]

Gawd damn, Sean O'Malley looked good last night

[jax]

I haven't watched yet but I heard JJ/Zhang was good and the main sucked.....although I saw Blue tweeted out he thought Romero actually won the fight

Im not sure about that, blue see's things different then most people, Israel didnt do much and Romero did even less. I'm not sure either guy had any kind of mark on them and Romero has the nerve after the fight to complain about Israel not fighting.

True story.

LOL...that was the first thing I thought of about Blue....sometimes he does see scores differently

[Kickass32]

Just watched the JJ/Zhang fight....jeez, easily the best women's title fight ever, and simply a great all round fight. I had it scored 48-47 Zhang so I feel the judges got this one correct

[jax]

Great fight and close fight, I thought it could have gone 48-47 either way, but at least both girls left it all out there and gave it their all unlike the main event.

[Washed the fuck Up]

JJ/Zhang fight..indeed the BEST BADASS womens fight ever! Romero needs to retire...Adesanya fought smart and won because of it. Omalley.....DAUYYYuummm he looked great for being poff all that time!

[Kickass32]

Heard O'Malley on the Luke Thomas show today....dude holds zero grudges against USADA for botching that whole situation.....good on him....I'd be fricken pissed
