I take it you don't like females fighting. Viera vs Kunitskaya should be on the main card. Don't see it as a co-main event, but two top ten fighters in their division deserve to be on the main card.

Sreimuth,

Yeh I don't like women's MMA. We had a whole long back and forth about it on another post. But the fights aren't exciting and don't display the aggression, power, or skill of men. And that's to be expected. 

Maycee Barber throwing punches from 3 feet out and she's a co-main? For me, leave the women's mma in invicta. Yana Kunitskaya has a boring clinch against the fence style. The only female fight I care to see is Valentina vs Zhang at 125lb. 

I think this card should be a heavy weight showcase. let's allow Daukaus his glow up versus a ranked Oleinik. Plus Aspinall gets showcased for heavy weight extravaganza. Hawes v Imavov is the only other explosive matchup I'm looking forward to here. Maybe even Spivak v Vanderaa on the main card to maximize the heavyweight exposure..plus I liked Vanderaa's performance on DWCS...great chin and size.

I do agree that fight should be no where NEAR co-main. It should be the start of the card. That said, we all know how many terrible men's fights have happened. 

But we don't wanna get into that again. But I agree terrible co-main.
