Card updated, looks like Bo Nickal's opponent change and they lost one prelim but added a catchweight instead

This was nuts

Fucking Robbie Lawler

 

[Hoss]

This whole event was money. Lawler's fight got a huge pop at Buffalo Wild Wings, I was going nuts. But every one of the main card fights also delivered. I only wish the main event coulda ended in, I guess, more dramatic fashion Still great though. Thought the co-main was an instant classic for sure.

Very hyped on Bo Nickal too, he's just looking like an absolute machine

I just finished watching the Turner/Hooker match, prelims were good. Some crazy fast finishes

Just when the Moreno fight was going down, fucking power outage.....so basically I wasted $75 dollars.
