It's like they custom built a card to make me say, "Meh". I'm not REALLY complaining because there's like six ridiculously stacked PPVs around it, and the card isn't full yet anyway, oh yeah and it's free, but we're not off to a good start in my opinion.

im looking forward to see Court McGee again, and Alan Belcher v MacDonald should be good. But as for the rest not too excited but as you said. Stacked PPVs everywhere so.

For a free card it looks pretty damn good to me.

Shields/Ellenberger is a good matchup, main card material on a PPV.

Koch is always awesome to watch.

I'm pumped to see Dongi "The Ox" Yang again, he's a good new korean fighter with a really good wrestling background and powerful hands.

Belcher/McDonald are both exciting. And Stone looked good vs Jorgensen til that one punch. Semerzier is fun to watch, as is Dunham.

Of course it isn't going to be as good as the PPV's but for free, hell yea.

I know exactly what Dakej means. It does look pretty "meh", but it's always the cards that look great and end up boring as hell and the crappy looking cards that end up being full of action.

We can always hope that a couple of them get injured and the replacements end up making it better.

I love watching Koch fight and Jake vs. Jake is a free main event which is cool. There are a few really interesting match ups, but it is missing some main card bouts here. They need one more big one at least.

Wow! Just saw this on Twitter:

@jordanbreen Jordan Breen RIP Jack Shields.

I really doubt it's a joke so my condolences obviously go out to Jake. As a fan it makes me wonder if this means a shuffling of the deck for the ME.

Yea I'd agree it's kind of meh on paper but that doesn't mean it won't deliver on action. There aren't too many relevant fights in any of the divisions, but that's usually how it works for the free cards. I'm still looking forward to the card however. Jake vs Jake is quite relevant and I feel like Koch could use Brookins name value to gain some popularity when he smashes him.

Lots of condolences on his FB page so I'd guess it's true.

@thiago, well... change it! I remember when Brett Favre lost his father just one day before a very important monday night game. He has the best game of his carrer.
