You're going to be missing history, man! Shields vs. Fitch for the coveted title of P4P best cuddler!
I think it's great that the WSOF has given top athletes who have boring styles a place to fight. Those guys were top 15 when they were cut and probably would still be.
Yeah, i'll be drinking and most likely drunk dancing that night, i'll probably catch a replay if there's one. I do like WSOF since they pay their fighters well and built their own stable, I sure wish WSOF was doing better, I like them better than Bellashit, but this is looking like a last hurrah with no events scheduled in the coming months.

You would also be spending it with Moraes and Gaethke, two very fun fighters and Branch has looked good of late. But yes, there are some cuddle fighters on this card.

Branch has looked like beast since he got his title(s).
Do they not consider the style match up when constructing a card? Can't have back to back fights that might be sleep inducing on a major tv card. Cause it's tv, fans if bored will flip the channel

There is lies the battle between sports and entertainment. Fitch and Shields are top level WWs, but both can put entire nations to sleep.

that's why if that type of fight is on the card. there needs to not just be a counter where it's a match up that'll deliver action, but double it.

Yeah because you wont just fall asleep you will be put into a very very deep coma indeed,need to be brought back round by paramedics.
Aside from Jake "Pillowfists" Shields vs Jon "Struggle Cuddle" Fitch this card should be pretty good. I'll be staying awake as long as I can to watch anyway.
With WSOF likely done in 2017 I'd love if UFC could snag some guys right after this card with wins. Like Gaethje, Moraes, and Branch (@LHW). Would love to see the winner of Fitch vs Jake go to OneFC and fight Askren after this but likely they both go to bellator once WSOF shuts down

Would Bellator be interested in them? If so, each would have to take a big pay cut.

They are both UFC cast offs.....do you even need to ask? lol
While there are a few obvious wrestle heavy guys, I think this cards being over looked. Gaethje is the most exciting fighter outside the UFC probably (watch any of his last 5 fights) and David Branch has really come into his own, fighting Lewis Taylor who took it to uber-hyped prospect Phil Hawes, and KO'd him.
