A quality WSOF card goes down Friday night on NBC SN. 

Thing is, the main card doesn't kick off until 11pm ET. 

Weird.

Main event cancelled. Ozzy was forced out due to some sort of medical emergency. Big blow.

per twitter, Firmino, High, and Foster were offered the fight

but were not interested in facing the wrath of Gaethje on 1 day of notice

at least there are a few other interesting fights, but, damnit I wanted to watch Gaethje.

Contrary to popular belief replacing a fighter isn't as easy as just offering a fight especially when the guy across the ring hits as hard as Gaethje.

Fight wasn't offered to Foster.

High didn't make weight yesterday so he wasn't an option. Zeferino agreed to a catchweight, so he wasn't an option either.

I guess that left Buscape.

@Adonis Buscape would've been the best option IMO.

Regardless of the Main Event getting cancelled, and that does suck I wanted too see Gaethje vs Ozzy just like you guys, but this is the best looking card on paper that WSOF has had to offer they usually have a few meh fights. There's not a bad fight on this card IMO.

@skelliher Not too odd that the Main Card is starting at 11:00PM considering the Prelims are suppose to start at 8:00PM. Maybe they could've kicked the Prelims off at 7:00PM and start the Main card at 10:00PM. It's a Central time zone, starting as if it's on the west coast. Still solid.

My upset picks for tonight are John Howard and Brandon Phillips. Now that I made that formally known on the forums, I'll go 0-2. That's how it works for me. Ha!

@Legz Yeah I was posting in another Discussion thread that Magomed had that worse case scenario 29-28. I'm just glad the correct fighter got that the win. That was a terrible Split.

Also I really underestimated Thug Nasty Mitchell. I picked Phillips based off his quality win over Chuka Willis. This Mitchell prospect will be making some noise. He is 7-0 with 7 Submissions, Phillips was the only one to get into the 2nd Round with him. A couple more fights and Mitchell should be a Main Carder. And rightfully so.

I went Abu Azaitar by Ko. But Arrant is a bit tougher than his record indicates. He took John Howard to a Split Decision, wouldn't be surprised if he's able to hang on and take Abu the distance but Abu comes out with fight ending intentions.

Got Magomedov by Decision here. Brock should make it close but Magomedov should be able to edge a competitive Decision.

And what do you know the judges scored the last fight correctly.

Great booking by wsof. Would have likes to see a 2nd round cause Jordan looked like he was fading a little. Great tko finish.

I hope Khabib's brother eventually gets signed to the UFC, as well. There's a lot of talent in that family.
