Man looking at the rest of this card I'm just realizing how incredibly top-heavy it is.  Obviously the main and co-main are huge and 2 of the best fights you can make for the LW division.  Other than those 2 fights nothing incredibly interesting.
That being said I am excited for the Ribas fight and to see what Muradov can do against Sanchez.

That’s damn close to a 10-8, but not enough damage. 20-18 Arman.

The grappling IQ Tsarukyan has is impressive. Always finds a way to keep position control...
