if you can't in 3/5 rounds ko a dude, submit a dude or pummel them... it should be a draw

That's just not realistic. With narrow skill gaps it's not always possible to finish an opponent in a short amount of time. Half the matches would be draws, which IMO is worse than decisions. (There should be more draws for sure, though. No one deserved to win Rose/Esparza.)

I like the idea of half a million for a fight of the year type fight.

I like a million dollar prize even better, maybe you put up a million for KO of the year or something. They could do something like the NBA MVP type scenario where at end of the year fights and fighters are voted on to see who gets the million dollar prize etc.

Pereira and Amedovski fights are the only ones that jump out as even remotely interesting to me. Card seems like a total snoozer, which means it'll probably be awesome..

What an absolute garbage card.

Holy needs to retire, who wants to watch a 40 year old spinster gunt punch air for 30 mins.

WMMA needs to go away.

broken leg warning
Frankly, I'm surprised that doesn't happen more often. Blasting your shins into rigid objects with your foot as a weight providing torque on the end of the fulcrum just seems like a bad idea.

That's what made Crocop the man. He only ever had a chip fracture on his ankle his entire career, and it was from the Wanderlei KO.

Thats a hell of a lot of kickboxing and MMA matches.

but seriously, is the urban legend about microfractures healing bones to be stronger actually real?

Those sponsorship stickers are so gross. They look like walking Nascar cars. But that guy is an absolute unit.
