Welllll... He did start off by saying "FISH"..... If I was fishrat, I'd think he was talking about me too, but..... It does look like it was for freemoney, just accidentally put fish instead of free

Given how stupid the rest of it is, addressing it to me when it was actually meant for someone else is definitely a possibility Phil.

@hyrm sometimes it's boring and frustrating when it's just stalling. But when it's watching a khabib or Gillespie I still might talk **** but secretly I'd be very impressed. Only incredibly powerful fighters can impose their will on another fighter so perfectly. It's Jedi Knight and sith Lord type of power and it's awesome to behold.

What a TERRIBLE co-main event!! Does anybody care about Guida vs Jim Miller? Maybe 10 -12 years ago.. and not even then really.. Gudia is always fun to watch , but I think there are BETTER fights on THIS card than this.. I don’t get it.. I’m more interested in Goldy vs Granger ! And it’s first fight! Lol terrible

How did they not add Gregor to this card? Him vs Charles Oliveira could have easily been co main event

Only main event fights are scheduled for 5 rounds.  The only way for co-main event to be 5 rounds is if it's a championship fight.
