    Yeah with football starting this kinda snuck up on me a bit and I forgot about it...should be good though. Hoping Valentina wins, not sure if I'll go to the bar or just stream it, definitely not ordering this one though.

    Johnson vs Borg canceled. Borg pulled out due to illness

    Feel like there's almost no hype for this tonight lol, still I'm gonna start watching in an hour and it should hopefully be good. 2 of the main fights being cancelled doesn't help of course.

    Might miss a fight or 2 of the prelims as I head to the bar later.

    I basically only know the main event and a couple other fighters, how's the rest of the card stack up compared to other PPV events for those who are familiar with everyone?

    The initial card with DJ vs Borg and Ngannou vs JDS was real solid. Still not bad, every fight on the Main Card is worthy of being on a PPV. There is just no standout fight that im super amped about.

    d---, I thought it was over like 5 times in that round before the ref finally called it..Clarke took a f---in beating, what a 2nd round for White though..lots of big shots.

    That's 2 fights in a row now with 2 different refs that should have and/or could have ended early..imo both should have been.

    2 upsets in the bantamweight division, pretty good prelims.

    The bar I'm at is showing some s-----y college football on the main screen so i have to hear that sound unfortunately lol. They must not think this PPV is a big deal cuz for all the other PPVs they always had it on the main screen and with sound.

    Still got a huge screen to watch it on, it's just a little different without the sound.

    Nunes probably won the fight with that late takedown, otherwise I thought Shevchenko had it..She probably had to do a bit more to get the decision.

    Wonder if we get a part 3, both of em seem to want more but Nunes won both now so who knows. I dunno if they said anything in the post-fight interviews.

    I think if shev played it a little more offensively in the first couple she mightve taken it. Too much defense where amanda left gaps for clean hits, gotta find those spots n make it happen sometimes, idk just my opinion
