Bad idea putting Esparza near the top of the bill.

Still pissed that Yair did that to KZ at the end, when he was clearly losing. I really hope they can play that back again one day.

At least this card gets a lot of filler fights out of circulation to stack other cards.
Still stoked for Yair vs Stephens. VOILENCIA!

I figure Stephens KOs Yair here, but Stephens has mediocre defense and I can see Yair exploiting that with his wild style.
He probably approaches this in the same fashion he did vs KZ though... which will get him KTFO.

Dos Equis vs. Corona is going to be a good fight.

I'm a fight fan, so I will watch regardless, but I can't remember a weaker card on paper.

Some recent overseas cards were even weaker on paper.

It's not that I am against a large amount of female fights, but honestly... 90% of the time they are complete sh1t.
Shadow Boxing from feet away from each other, some not even knowing how to properly get a takedown or will have a submission all but locked in and not understand how to finish it.
Its like watching fighters who have 15 fight experience but somehow still look like they started a month ago

Purely for comedy value, I would have like to see two heavyweights with s--- cardio on this card.

But but but... all the white knights will correct you, offering that the reason women's MMA is so great is because they are so technical.

Katlyn Chookagian's yelling skills as she strikes are about as technical as you can get, sir. Judges love that, regardless if she's swatting at air.
