Of the 7 fights, 4 have a favorite who is -500 or higher. 

Lance Palmer is -1100, and Kayla Harrison is -1250. Palmer is fighting a guy he's already beaten twice this year, and Harrison beat her opponent earlier this year.

The suspense is huge...

Yeah I’m not that excited about tonight’s event…the WW final is a joke since The dagestani got hurt

Not excited, fight card is pretty weak, not a lot of fights either.

5

All true, but for reason I really enjoy their cards. And I'd like to see Harrison win the prize, given my love for judo.

Maybe because I find it as a hidden gem when I think there is no fights on.

wasn't this card last year a little earlier in the day??? Wish it was starting like now.

7

Gilpin is fighting Palmer 3x in this YEAR alone.

What a trilogy nobody cares about.

That would be better. DVR time.

How is Gilpin in the finals if he lost to Palmer in his last fight, and earlier this year? Is he the only guy in the weight class cleared to fight or something?

Alright alright alright, let's get this party started!

What's the deal with Jordan? Did he have a future in the UFC? He looked slow, and just stayed waaaaay too long in bad positions tonight.

I thought Jordan Johnson would win.  I was wrong.  That Argentina guy is good

Ehh he’s just a rather slow, grinding wrestler basically…his striking and bjj are weak and tbh he really shouldn’t be fighting in a title fight at 205…

They have a 4 hour slot for 7 fights! The first fight went a few minutes lol
