I'll be in the saddle for this one tonight. Refreshed myself on the PFL rule set. I like it. Solid first two events of the season, and this one looks pretty great as well. 

Looks like we'll get prelims on FB around 530pm ET before main card action at 9pm on NBC Sports.

Let's do this!

Just NEVER know in these fights!! So hard to predict outcomes!! If you put 100$ on Kusch that fight , you would have won 500$!! He was HUGE underdog!!

It will be interesting to see what shields has left. His defense will need to be on point because cooper has legit KO power.

You never know in MMA of course, but most likely Shields should put on a clinic here.

Who else saw Shields’ terrible first pitch at the Nationals game the other night?

well at least I was right about the one fight I had an opinion on lol.

Can't blame shields, he's an old man and Cooper hits like a bus. Very good hip balance, sprawls and TDD too.

Well, hopefully this thing keeps growing because I really enjoyed the fights I was able to see. Good promotion with good talent.
