I think they should have changed a few fights up with the upcoming fox card.

Guaranteed this ends up being a "not sexy on paper with lots of names" card that has a ton of great, exciting fights. Main card is full of barn burners

Agreed, I have paid little attention prior to the last day, but am pretty pumped for tonight.

If this fight was 3 rounds I would’ve picked Cub by decision, I think he would wins two rounds out of three.....Over 5 rounds though I think Ortega takes the punches and keeps on coming forward, then Cub slows down, maybe a knockdown with Ortegas improved striking or a takedown late on the aging fighter that always slows down in fights, Ortegas gas tank is excellent, then gets the submission in the 4th or 5th round.....Ortega don’t care you’re a blackbelt he will choke you the f--- out!

Cub said hes not interested in a war, so im guessing he comes of firing...and with Ortegas history of slow starts it could mean night night for T-City. But what you said is also very possible.
Cub-KO-2
Ortega-SUB-4

Absolutely no answer to Giles' striking. Great finish. I'm glad he was able to get up after the 3rd round take down and avoid a 29-28 from getting grappled for two rounds while lighting Neto up on the feet.

Jesus does the ref think "Keep working" and "Let's go, work" is just something you're supposed to say every 10-15 seconds? Ramos was very busy. There were like 5 warnings. I can see one at the first but once it is satisfied and Ramos is working you don't say it every 10 seconds.

Haha - Felder on the ref: Your job is to make sure no one gets hurt and they are following the rules, not to stand them up when you get bored.
Edit: 3 posts in a row. I'm officially talking to myself. I'll break

Glad Ramos did it quickly. I was just waiting for the ref to say "let's go work."

Had a moment there, thinking "wow, Rosenthal is out of jail", turns out it's been for awhile. Shows how much I pay attention to these things...
Was expecting more out of Alcantara

Terrible fight. As Felder said, just too much respect for each other. Not getting anywhere with performances like that.

Good to see the judges get one right with the new rules in place. He did nothing with the takedowns, except eat knees. Wouldn’t of called robbery either way though. Tough one to score.

It truly pays to be active, no matter where the fight goes
Was excited by deTomas energy in the walkout, but he looked too inexperienced. Good debut for Perez
