Wow... What a Big Right hand and nice Ground & Pound finish from Phil Hawes... He also fought a smart, educated pressure fight against a very tall, rather limited Striker in Bestaev, who is OK, Not quite UFC ready quite yet... But Hawes, he struck with Thunder and Lightning tonight and Dana... Get the Contract ready, because Hawes is finally ready to enter the UFC and start climbing the ladder... The guy has some wonderful striking skills, both with punches and kicks 🖋️🤔🥊👊👊🥊👍

Okay, I know they’ve all been quick, but this one is gonna be a war. If this one also ends in the first round I’m gonna feel unsatisfied.

I’m convinced you could force Church to do nothing but eat shots for the first round and he would fight the exact same come the second round. That said, 10-9 Blackledge

20-18 Blackledge. But I’m super disappointed that he’s just coasting on every takedown. Church is landing more strikes from bottom.

Takedown, and immediately puts his ear to Church’s chest. Not mad at him for wanting to avoid the standup though I suppose.

Sherrard Blackledge and Cameron Church -> neither should get a contract

Damn, those 2, Sherrard Blackledge and Cameron Church have imho probable been the weakest pair on the Contender Series 2020 since long. 
Also: World Fighting Championships seems to be a very weak championship, when a really not good guy like Church managed to collect so many wins there.

Cameron Church had some nice Boxing and certainly has a granite chin at the moment, but it was definitely Blackledge's night, in what turned out to be the most evenly matched fight on the Fightcard this evening. Personally, I don't think either are quite ready for a UFC Contract given both of their respective performances, as they both appear to have flaws in their game... However Blackledge deserved his victory, the Takedowns took him over the finishing line... He knew he had the range and slick awkward moves on the feet, where they would both be evenly matched, but taking Cameron Church down and keeping him there would ultimately protect his unbeaten record... A good, hard fought fight 🤔👊🥊🥊👊👍

Won on Drako, and my last bet is -200 for under 1.5rds on the feature bout. Pretty confident in a first round starching by Nchukwi
