Some alright fights going on but this card has nothing on last weeks Fox card. Feels kinda boring...

Hope the main card is better.

Ouside of Siler vs. Holobaugh, this has been a rather uninteresting card.

but they keep using it as an excuse for every fight, switch it up a bit or don't mention it 10 times every round
