That's sweet. It will take some of the sting off the commercial drenched main card.

Sucks for poor old Rousimir Palhares. He goes from headlining a free card to not being good enough to get his fight on facebook on the undercard of a free card.
Never take your eyes off of your opponents people.

Best part about this is that Castillo vs Stevenson was/is the fight I wanted to see most. Glad I can, now.

Im happy about the castillo fight being on there but I definitely would prefer the roller or Rousimir fight over the Cantwell but that fight should be good anyways. Im happy with any additional fights they send our way
