Post-Fight Thoughts

What a boring card overall, but luckily there was so big shockers in the mix to spice things up. The hype train for Stephen Thomspon ends as he is dominated by Matt Brown and the Immortal shows us that wrestling is just as important as standup. Big Ben proved us wrong once again and I’m happy he did. Brendan’s chin was always a problem but I thought he could survive the first round and Ben would be gassed out, great KO. Yagin is another underdog who stole the show and he dominated Mark and I always like to see the underdog win. Now the main event was exciting for the first round. After that there were moments where you thought Jones would end it but Evans would recover. In the end Rashad did exactly the opposite of what he said his game plan was going to be and Jones did not finish Evans and he said multiple times. So with that being said, I put this card under THE BAD.
