This was actually a great card until the main event & Diego fell out. Ferreira v Gillespie is the best fight to me but I'm interested in everything from Hawes/Daukaus on.

Don't know why Lima-Greene is on the main card, but other than that, the card is actually pretty damn good. For what it lacks in a true main event, it makes up for with depth.

Really curious how Ribas bounces back. Hill is good enough that she will make you pay if you're not on top of things, but should be a winnable fight for Ribas if she's who I thought she was before the Rodriguez fight.

Basically copy and paste that for Gregor and Neal, too, but I'd probably put Magny and Ferreira a step above Hill in their respective divisions.

I like Cowboy and Waterson for different reasons, but those are some tough fights for them IMO. Cowboy 'should' beat Morono, but I just don't know anymore with him.

Alex Morono seems so nice

I saw a YouTube comment “I’d give him my phone and wallet and trust him to give it back” and that’s a very accurate vibe. Also kinda looks like Jesse Eisenberg without hair

Hill vs Ribas is also nixed.

edit: Ribas tested positive for covid.

The main card looks really good other than the new headliner. I guess I'll watch the first 5 fights then switch to boxing

Credit to Hawes. He faced some serious adversity, hung in there, and had a pretty dominant third round.

Some fun first round grappling here. Is Gillespie already gassed after those takedown attempts? Ferreira was able to take his back pretty easily there and there wasn't much defense for the strikes.

Morono looked good.

Good stoppage too. Cerrone was getting lit up.
