Predictions: 6 of 10 Winners, 2 Perfect, 350 Points   |   Tied for 1112th

The fighters are weighed in and we're set for tomorrow night. Lentz was forced out before weigh-ins due to illness, dropping the card to 10 bouts, so unless Daniel Kelly refuses to fight Pat Walsh (missed weight by 5.5 lbs), that's where we'll stay. 

Prelims kick off on FS1 at 8pm ET followed by the main card in the same spot at 10pm.

Such a dumb rule. Shut the **** up, Anik. The dude was done before that knee anyways.

That knee didn't make a difference in my opinion.

I Think the referee was stopping it when he saw Aler dropping?

Stupid rule but that was clearly an illegal knee. He almost started to throw it before his knee touched but it was down before he chambered. Be an interesting call.

wow,I thought he jumped in from the illegal knee...I guess we'll see.If he was going in to stop it before the knee then who cares but he started moving in after the knee landed (I think) so the knee was the shot that made him stop it so I think that's a big problem.Controversial imo if he get's the win even though he basically had the win.


I have to watch the replay and see when the ref started coming in.Nope the ref wasn't coming in at all till after the knee so that should be a no contest imo because that's the rules.I'm happy Skelly won and I picked him but an illegal shot finished the fight....I don't get it.His hand was down already when he started throwing the knee i'm pretty sure which would make it illegal.

Ok they've got to be more consistent. Skelly deserved to win but if they're not going to enforce rules, what's the point of having them.

Isn't this quite a greyzone? 

You can see the fight was over before that knee was thrown. I think you could take the knee into consideration if that was what stopped the fight, but it clearly wasn't in this case.

I think since Skelly dropping him was the reason his knee touched the mat no real harm done with the "illegal" knee ... even if it was Alers actually dropping, I don't think dropping a limb to the mat is "intelligently defending yourself", it's more like "can't defend myself so I'm gonna hail mary to get something out of this", so **** it, great stoppage, great TKO.

Skelly: B and would be B+/A- if he had better fight IQ. Let's see, my tds aren't working and this guy doesn't seem to know how to move out of the way of my right hand, maybe I should forget about the td and strike more.

Alers: C-  both scrambled well but Alers lack of head movement/striking defense is alarming.
