pretty underwhelming night of fights

especially for such a long show.
They booked a great card but the MMA gods were not pleased for some reason.

i thought the grand prix fights were awesome although really short. I just watched them online in 10 minutes.

Man, that was brutal. Maybe the best / most shocking upkick KO ever. My brain couldn’t even process what had happened for about 10-15 seconds.

seriously. It looked like he snapped his neck and killed him.

excellent post Chris. I found it very interesting and entertaining. I look forward to seeing more of these with the other big events

I wonder if we’ll be seeing Mousasi in Affliction? He’s got their shirt on, and it looks like everybody with him does too.
