Happy endings rarely exist in combat sports. Kill the BMF belt now, please. More worthless than an interim belt. A literal participation trophy from a company that sides with the right wing who sneer at that kind of shit.
 
318 has been the best marquee card in a loooong time. Lots of fun. Came in with real low expectations and was very surprised.

Eh, it was mostly a bunch of dimeless mid card shitters gassing hard and fighting to decisions. No better than any of the 11 billion Fight Nights they have every year now.
 
I really wonder what Xtreme Couture fighters do all day because Niksick coaches like he's just met them for the 1st time. Do they not gameplay at all?

Nicksick is very hands off and allows the gym the train each other. He’s around for drills, but as far as sparring goes, he is only around for his marquee fighters, like Ige, Curtis, Pereira, Strickland, etc., and even then, his presence is likely very minimal. I question his ability to corner his fighters recently. They’ve all been really flat.

The whole let the fighters train each other format works well…. If you’re a smaller gym like Goat Shed. XC is BIG. Your fighters need direction. It’s been stated by many that Sean Strickland is an excellent sparring coach, but lacks the technical finesse that you’d expect someone like Eric to chime in on.

If you’re ever in Miami, just walk into the Goat Shed gym. Just do it. Shit is crazy.

i mean i guess im not upset about this
 
That looks pretty solid. Jiri vs Rountree is going to be a lot of fun. I don’t see a world where Cory Sandhagen can do anything to Merab. Hopefully Alex has resolved whatever issues he was facing in his last bout versus Ank, because he clearly wasn’t in that fight.
