You know the drill. Prelims kick off on Spike.com at 7pm followed by the main card at 9pm on Spike TV.

Decent card. I think the co-main is going to steal the show.

Koreshkov looked super impressive with his stand up. On point precise and the brutal flying knee KO to top it off.

gonna regret switching my pick because I had a knee jerk reaction to missing weight.

Great first round and a tough one to score.

If it was up to me, I'd say 10-10, but I'm sure the judges won't score it like that.

Koreshkov is Russian Erick Silva.

Silva tossing Warren doing after catching his flying knee was great.

He needs to stop with the flashy strikes.

I think Silva has a damn good chance of beating Warren with a full camp.

I think conditioning won this fight for Warren.

Sam will most likely never fight at 170 again, and after how sick he was Wednesday into Thursday it's a good thing. Walking around at 195 and fighting at 170 is not easy to do, and not to make excuses, but he should not have had to wait and cut a second time for the semis. In the end he blamed himself, made no excuses and manned up.

Win or lose it would have been a better fight had Sammy O been in there. Hope he has a solid run at MW. He's fun to watch.
