Predictions: 2 of 6 Winners, 0 Perfect, 100 Points | Tied for 94th
Being italian, the arrive of an important promotion like ACB in Italy is surely a positive thing, and well, the card is good there are good prospects and high level veterans but...
There's just an Italian (Melillo) fighting in the card against a low level opponent, and that should be the first match on the night.
Then a lot of good russian or european fighters, and Leone, an American-Italian fighting in the main event.
The fact is that like 99% of italian don't even know who Leone is, and i'm not even sure if he speaks italian or not.
The level is high and i, as an ACB and MMA diehard fan, will surely spend my money for the event but how many italian fans will do the same?
I don't think it's a good move, it won't move the masses, some more italian names and it would be perfect, i'd say.
