Just wow what a strange move
That's wont be seen
Fucking hate big fingers and small typing pad
I thought it was on the prelims which is being shown on Show Extreme
On the news page it's listed as untelivised
Thanks I was a little upset when I read that
Was like wait the final event and 2 matches won't be shown
No it isn't showing. First two fights are dark prelims you would normally see on Facebook.
I believe Noons - Couture is the first fight
well shit...that blows
bearockbrobama - No it isn't showing. First two fights are dark prelims you would normally see on Facebook.
I believe Noons - Couture is the first fight
That will be the first fight on Showtime Extreme. The Gurgel fight and one other will be dark according to my (limited) research.
