Another stacked Fight Night from top to bottom

 

[m9]

Looking forward to the top two fights, and the women's fights should be alright. Not the greatest card.

 

[Blainer114*]

Interested to see hendricks at middleweight

 

[MD thaivuN]

Gerald Meerschaert looked pretty smooth in his first fight. Looking forward for his fight

I enjoy Santiago Ponzinibbio violence.

Hendricks vs Lombard is a matchup of people love to hate.

The rest? meh

 

[Sonic Disturbance]

Aiemann Zahabi (Firas Zahabi's brother) is making his debut. I watched a few of his fights and he seems very well-rounded and technica with high fight IQl. All first-round finishes. With poor competition though.

Looking forward to the top two fights, and the women's fights should be alright. Not the greatest card.

Yeah, those are the four to watch for me. I'm kinda interested in seeing how Zahabi does as well.

 

[m9]

I had never heard of Gavin Tucker, so I was trying to figure out why his fight with Sam Sicilia was so high up on the card. Tucker is 9-0 and from Halifax, so okay. His last fight was against a guy who is 1-8 in his last 9 fights. The fight before that? The guy has lost his last 6 fights. He's not a Jason Reinhardt level of can-crusher, but I find his placement on the card very odd.

 

[McMozesmadness]

Actually think this looks like a fun card.

Top two fight look intriguing, I also look forward to the Felder fight and the Sicilia fight.

Really bugs me that the Ponzinibbio vs Taleb fight isnt on the main card. Likely won't be able to see it.

Welp, I get to watch an event live! And I work where all the fighters are staying and weight cutting. bunch of nice guys really.

Mind you I bought tickets when it was JDS vs Struve, so I was bummed at the pull out.

 

[dss97]

Hopefully the black beast KOs Browne.

 

[m9]

Big upset win for Markos. Looked good.

 

[Blainer114*]

Todd grisham is an ufc commentator now, I remember him from wwe

 

[Know Your Enemy]

I've never been a fan of Hendricks, but it would be kinda nice to see him revitalize his career tonight

 

[Blainer114*]

Felder by tko

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Yeah... I think they overstated Ricci's striking ability

 

[MD thaivuN]

I like what i saw from Felder tonight. Usually, the guy looks pretty slow and low-volume. threw more volume tonight. might want to stick with Duke Rufus

 

[Avs_19]

Nice to see Zahabi and Markos pick up wins. Both close fights

 

[Avs_19]

McMann is going to take her down and keep her there as long as she wants.

And there's the submission. Too easy.

 

[TerminatorBlue]

Didn't see the fight but good win for Markos, she isn't even ranked and beat #3 Esparza.

 

[Know Your Enemy]

Theo kicks in slow motion

 

[TerminatorBlue]

lol look how small the referee is.

 

[Know Your Enemy]

I gotta say I'm shocked that Theo only has one loss in his career. He's about as fast as Hong man Choi


and why does he keep giving up his back? does he need to protect his pretty face?

 

[Blainer114*]

Some guys gonna get dudes face tattoed on his own face? Lol

 

[MD thaivuN]

Middleweight is the division of weirdly built fighters. Theodorou is no different as he's a cage grinder who opts to strike to on the outside and wastes so much energy on kicks. Two types of skills that don't blend well together and somehow Theodorou can make it work.
