[Avs_19]

Maybe not main event worthy but I like the Pettis/Moreno fight. The winner is likely next in line for a title shot.

There was a lot of hype around Grasso before her last fight so I'm interested in seeing how she bounces back after her first loss.

I had no idea Rashad was on this card until I saw his name today.

Kind of crazy how buried Rashad is on the card. I know he hasn't been great lately.. but still.

Rashad/Alvey has the ability to be an awful, awful fight.

You would think Rashad would retire or return to LHW after that performance where he was soundly outboxed by Old Man Judo Dan Kelly

Good rebound fight for Grasso. Markos is scrappy enough to make a difficult fight against almost anyone in the division, but isn't good enough to ever take over a fight. Gonna be a good experience gaining fight for Grasso

Pettis vs Moreno... the battle of two opposites. Sergio is really well schooled in his striking (and has really better fundamentals than Anthony), but lacks the physical attributes to be a elite fighter. Moreno, still inexperienced and still lacking skill wise, but definitely has the athletic tools & instinct to make it to the top.

my god, this event is beyond lacking

Soukhamthath getting robbed.

 

[td_ice]

Soukamthath got 3 knockdowns in that fight, and still lost.

 

[Avs_19]

I had it for Soukhamthath but I thought it was close.

 

[dss97]

Rashad looks like a different human compared to 5 years ago.

 

[td_ice]

Boring fight through 2.

 

[Wood Stick]

Rashad/Alvey has the ability to be an awful, awful fight.

Not as bad as I thought but still meh.

 

[Avs_19]

Terrible fight. I guess I'd go 29-28 for Alvey but neither guy did much.

 

[m9]

Rashad's gameplan is very puzzling. He can stand and box with guys like Alvey, then pick your spots with the takedown.

 

[Avs_19]

Dana White's contender series actually hasn't been bad. That head kick KO was crazy.

 

[td_ice]

Great debut.

Knee to the face, knocked him out cold.

 

[dss97]

Holy hell that was a vicious KO.

Bravos toes were curled on the ground.

 

[td_ice]

Price dropped him.

 

[m9]

Nice finish there. Awkward looking end because of how much the ref jumped in but good stoppage.

 

[Avs_19]

Two straight nice finishes.

Very good main card so far besides the Rashad/Alvey fight.

 

[td_ice]

Most likely a round each going into the third.

 

[darko]

I'm a Grasso fan but Markos should've won.

 

[Avs_19]

Entertaining fight and I think it was the correct decision. I thought Grasso did more in the stand up in the third round.

 

[td_ice]

That was super close. Either way the decision went, I think it could be justified. Basically a coin flip for me.

 

[dss97]

I had it 29-28 Grasso.
