Thinking they need to start streaming fight pass to Playstation so I can watch these on my TV instead of having to go in the computer room!

Wouldn't disagree with you at all there poir420. Though I was able to download Fightpass on my Samsung Smart TV so I got around it now.

I had the toughest time picking the Sims/Graves matchup. I haven't seen anything of Sims minus his Glory bout, and that didn't go well at all, unsurprisingly. And Graves is a HW vet that I haven't really thought much about in his career. Kind of felt like it was a toss up as to what way it could go.

I don't have much issues picking Sims/Graves,Graves is a beast and the little I saw of Sims i'm not confident in him but I think it'll be a second or third round stoppage for Graves,but who knows,it's not like Graves is amazing, but he's about as tough as it gets and is a good grinder.

My problem fight is I think Gray might pull the upset but I just haven't had time to study footage on Perez even though I seen him fight a bunch I just can't picture him and I know Gray is badass.If there's an upset i'm thinking it's here with gray and I think Graves pulls it off.

I actually went with Graves myself. I just thought I might regret it if Sims comes out and has developed alot since the last time we have seen him. Certainly possible I guess.

I've never seen someone sit in the fetal position for 4+ minutes without even trying and the guy on top barely throwing punches on a useless opponent. Get these bums out of the cage.

Yeah, safe to say these two aren't getting contracts.

Not sure why Simms even accepted this opportunity. He isn't even trying. He's just sitting there eating weak punches. So disappointing. And that lady Graves brought has been incredibly annoying.

Likely no worries there about Graves getting a contract, though I didn't think he would to begin with.

Man Simon vs. flyweight Frelow. Interesting.

Wrestling heavy approach from Simon so far. Who won that round?

Simon takes the decision in a pretty good fight between him and Frelow.

I thought since Petties/Arce was announced it would be the best fight on the card.

Arce lost that first round. But came out with a purpose in tne 2nd round and blistered Petties.

Well the UFC could certainly use some talent in the LHW division.
