Thanks!Wow Jamie Pickett on super short notice,kudos to him and them for getting a replacement so fast.

Ok so this doesn't sound tooooo bad

Hellie will call Tuesday’s debut with former UFC lightweight Yves Edwards serving as the color commentator. Fitzgerald will be paired with UFC lightweight Paul Felder as the duo debuts July 18. The broadcast crews will alternate weeks during the show’s eight-week run. 

Laura Sanko, a former fighter who has called UFC and Invicta FC events, will serve as the backstage reporter for the broadcasts.

BOOOOO lol

“I have been a fan of UFC for a long time,” Hellie said. “ and then...

Hellie credited UFC welterweight Alan Jouban for coming to his Manhattan Beach, Calif., home and giving him a “UFC for Dummies” rundown of the sport before his audition. Hellie has also spoken to UFC’s main play-by-play announcer, Jon Anik, since he learned he got the job.

Ok so not that kind of fan

I don't think these are going to run smooth but I have zero expectations so it'll be pretty hard to annoy me when I already expect the worst.I think Paul can make an ok commentator.Did he do stuff for CES or CFFC or whatever?I could have sworn I heard him before.Yves will be great.

I'll probably try and catch the last couple of fights. 

Its a shame Boston Salmon has that 1 loss on his record. He clearly won that fight against Zac Riley without any doubt in my mind. One of, if not the worst decisions of 2016.

Also Holobaugh is the rightful favorite but -500 seems like a stretch. Bessette should be able to put up a good fight.

betting odds are really interesting for Bessette and Turcios! Only need one to win to get some money but both will be priceless!

Really enjoyed this card. Joby Sanchez rallied back from a R1 in which he was dropped and nearly choke, dominated the final two. Charles Byrd looked like a beast. The punch that 'Zulu' KO'd Rebello with made me ******* cringe. Salmon/Turcios was a war, but good god does Salmon have some power. And Kurt Holobaugh... Kurt ******* Holobaugh. Absolutely brutal.

Boston Salmon and Kurt Holobaugh were the ones that got a contract post-fight, but I was impressed with every fight/performance tonight.

Holobaugh was the highlight, I'm glad he got a contract. They only gave him 1 UFC fight previously where as I could have sworn he was 1-2 or 0-2 or something. Nope, just one UFC fight.
