A lot of great fights. Meerschaert vs Shahbazyan is a dark horse there.
Yeah for sure, could easily be FOTN.
There is the title fight of course and then a lot riding on that Whittaker fight. Allen has been on a huge streak here (7), Cannonier is in his 40’s now and Borralho has been climbing the ranks on his own streak at 6, 8 if you want to include DWCS. 15 fight streak if you count all MMA fights. Pereira as well has a 8 fight win streak going. Ferreira has made a splash in the promotion and always goes for broke.
I’m sure Strickland, Costa, Hermansson, Pyfer, Nickal etc… will all fight again this year as well.
Divisions like FLW got fighters like Mighty Mouse, Horiguchi, Askarov etc… outside the UFC and divisions like HW move so slow with so few interesting fights booked and then even LW is in a transition period after a great run. What is left, WMMA? No thanks.
At least MW is filled with fun talent and characters and good fights get booked all the time.
