Man, I can't wait to see either one of those guys fight Robbie. We just have to watch him punch the fence-sitter into oblivion first.

@FTM
Markos-Jones Lybarger was a pretty solid fight too. 

Also, Theodorou-Alvey was a scrap.

This feels like the main event of a Pay Per View title fight to me, one of the most compelling fights I've anticipated with everything on the line for both guys in my opinion.

@Nomad Agreed. Like they were saying earlier, this is probably one of the best FS1 main events on paper. Ever.

I thought the Theodorou and Alvey fight was a total yawner nobody did much striking and Theodorou was mostly backing up the whole fight and not really landing anything that good even though he did land a more than Alvey.

Good for that one female fan of Thompson chanting "let's go Stephen" among an arena of "let's go Rory"
