Overall, a solid night of fights. I was there from 630pm sitting in front of the TV until Maia made it through a 5 round fight he didn't win.
At any rate, some great scraps throughout TBH, on a card I had admittedly been dismissive of in the lead-up. Moreno vs Pantoja was a pleasant stand and bang bloodbath/rematch. Prazeres fought an at times boring split decision win over Cummings. Cannoneir probably got the big ole affirmative on his thoughts on moving down to middleweight with that uppercut from Reyes. The women's division got a good, solid scrap in the form of KBG Lee and her multi-pronged muay thai and takedown attack. The fight pass portion even had a kneebar hail mary in a fight Puelles was nearly knocked out of multiple times under his opponent's ground and pound and striking on the feet.
Welterweight is all kinds of interesting as Usman will hopefully face the winner of Till vs Thompson, and the winner of RDA vs Covington faces Woodley at some point to unify the belt(s). Just like that, we've got 5 guys, all of which could probably be champ, in a stand-off with two fights book to delineate some sort of order of operations. 4 hours in at 1030pm, with the main card one fight in, I was admittedly a bit tired from seeing fights and commercials, but hey, it was a solid card with kneebars, Barzola put on an impressive workrate grappling finish to defeat Davis, Saenz faced Briones in a battle of two veterans plying their wares, Laprise got one punch KO'd by Luque.....the card had it all: submissions. slams out of submissions, KO's.....not bad. Not bad at all. Excited to see KGB Lee back in action soon, and Macedo has fights she can win in the division as well, but might want to drop down a weight class as she looked to get out-beasted by KGB in the clinch at various points.
