Pretty good card. Surprised they didn't have a "name" fight in the headliner on ABC, but Almedia is a future title challenger at HW or LHW (or maybe both).

Smith/Walker is great and the other three main card fights are really fun.

The last few cards of the prelims are solid as well. Early start for the main card, 12pm PST.

Kinda wish the matinee ABC cards were on Sundays, especially when it isn't football season

I second this and do it more than once a year please

Looks like Emmett/Topuria in Jacksonville will also be an ABC card

It's only an OK card for me. Almeida, Garry, and possibly Smith are the only ones who will ever figure into the title picture IMO. I guess Walker could go on a heater, but I have no faith he can do that. Brown, McGee, Means, Morono, and D-Rod are all very limited and/or washed.

And yeah, really lacking star name value for an ABC card.

Surprised Bellator does these European cards with early afternoon NA main cards on Fridays.

Primus landed some big shots in that first

 

[MMC]

I think Primus won that. Pretty wild. Still think Usman should beat him easily

 

[MMC]

Looks like Fabian coasted his way to an uninteresting decision win over Mousasi, just like Eblen did

 

[CDJ]

The talent on this ufc card is kinda mid for ABC, but these should be mostly bangers. Action fights.

 

[MMC]

No big names but BKFC's main event last night was great

 

[Bunk Moreland]

I'm starting to think they're not keeping Jessica rose Clark around for her fighting skills.....

 

[MMC]

13 second KO for Battle in his hometown

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Wowwwwww green was throwing anything and everything charging forward... until he wasn't lol

 

[MMC]

 

[CDJ]

The pacing on this card is gonna be bruuuuuuutal

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Does it still count as welterweight at 173lbs lol

 

[MMC]

Point deduction for a shot after the bell lmao
