I like Moraga but I think Johnson gets a submission.

Also, Melvin Guillard's UFC career is likely over next weekend.

Ellenberger vs rory macdonald will be awesome. can't pick a winner.

Chiesa vs masvidal is only fight I'm interested in ......

If this wasn't free I wouldn't bother watching LOL pancrase cards with up and comers shits all over this.

This is the weakest FOX card to date.  They put some good ones on FOX, so too bad they are reducing the card quality.

You've got to take in consideration that this card was hit HARD with injuries. Should've had Lawler vs Saffiedine/Bahadurzada and Carmouche vs Tate.

mac danzig vs melvin guillard is the canniest matchup on paper i've seen all year.

 True, that would have been way better.  Some good fights on here but not a real solid card.

 Michael Chiesa vs. Jorge Masvidal 
Danny Castillo vs. Tim Means 
Mac Danzig vs. Melvin Guillard 
Daron Cruickshank vs. Yves Edwards 
Ed Herman vs. Trevor Smith

 I agree, those are better.

Fox wants women's fight because they're bringing in outside viewership.

I wish John Albert was on Fuel and not Facebook, too. He's like the Canadian Tokoro.

Daron Cruickshank vs. Yves Edwards
Ed Herman vs. Trevor Smith
Germaine de Randamie vs. Julie Kedzie
Aaron Riley vs. Justin Salas
John Albert vs. Yaotzin Meza

Deradame fight was good call judges are coming around takedowns aren't equal to knockdowns and if you get a takedown you have to cause damage or it don't mean shit.

Kedzie did well but she didn't go for the finish when she should have decent fight tho.

Lmfao they keep scrolling text in the bottom of the screen with headlines one of them being a Roy Jones Jr interview on fuel TV with him talking about his desire to fight Anderson Silva LOL what bs

Herman vs Smith is equivelant of bonnar vs Griffin 2 LOL sloppy brawlfest but entertaining non theless

a 30-27 for Smith?

For fucks sake.

And 30-27 for Cruickshank backpedaling ....this is going to be a GREAT night.

Sseriosly judging is bad....

Chiesa I like but masvidal mote so glad to see him wise up and start using his underrated sub game

Considering he was apart of the while kimbo backyard fighting BS he is a serious threat more cardio but not bad fir short notice.

What a card! Zuffa is really blowing up mma! I bet the fox execs are happy!


Check out the packed arena last night!
