Dear Mulletron, I miss your fight night contests

Gillespie vs. Riddell is off due to Covid protocols.

What are the actual start times?

Lol! I literally came to this thread to see if I could find out what time the fights started, and I came with every intention of scrolling down to see if a forum memeber would be kind enough to clarify it because I know from many past experiences that you do no rely on the UG to get it right. Thanks for getting that out of the way early. This will definitely alter the timing of my wings tonight.

Ha ha! I just double checked on another site and it appears the OP in this instance is correct, and you just legit mind fucked me for a minute. Would have been funnier had I ran around over the next couple hours reshaping my day as a result.

Co main is cancelled??

Just Bleed Analysis

7 of the 10 fighters on the Main Card finish more than 70% of their wins. (***Spoiler alert: None of the 7 are women.***)

  • 5 of the 10 main card fighters finish more than 80%, and 3 of those finish more than 90%.
  • Harry Hunsucker, making his UFC debut, is 7-3 and has never gone past the 1st round, including his losses.  He fights Tuivasa, who finishes 90% of his wins. 9 of his 13 pro fights have ended in the 1st round. I have never seen anything close to this: In prop odds, "Fight doesn't go to a decision" is favored at -950! Fuuuuuuuuuuck!!!!!!!

prelims are starting now

Bye bye buys back to LFA buddy. Just got dominated and KO’d by a dude on a 4 fight losing streak. 

It’s going to be great to be able to hear Holland tonight in a quiet venue!!
