Cejudo vs Cruz carries the card for me. That fight is a risky bet by the way. Who knows in what fighting shape Cruz is.

P.S. Where’s this Fight Island, huh?

3

Apparently it’ll Fight Island will be ready by the end of next month.

Has anyone noticed all the MMA media that have been bitching this whole time are jumping on board now this is actually happening?

4

It’s 06.30 in the morning here, but that was worth staying up for. Now time for a night cap.

5

Cruz was getting rocked for sure, but that was an early stoppage. He would’ve made the bell.

6

I went to bed after Werdum, I was gutted he looked like he just walked out of the pub to have a punch up in the car park.

Its always gutting when your favourite fighters go that way.

7

Tough call for sure. Looked like a unanswered shots but most of them didn’t connect. I’d say early stoppage. Would have been nice to see another round even if it was just to cement the win.

8

He was looking a bit rough, but I still thought he and Cowboy both won. Some dodgy judging again that night.

9

For those that missed the event.
