ONE Championship A New Era: Fight Card, Picks, Prognostications, + Odds!

Lightweight Champion Eduard Folayang (21-6) -169 vs. Shinya Aoki (42-8) +141 [Rematch]

For those who don't know Folayang, he is the face of Philippine MMA, on the ultra-successful Team Lakay Wushu, and is comparable to a Michael Bisping. Ed has been to the top of the MMA world, only to suffer a crushing knockout loss, and then rebounded and returned better and recaptured the ONE Lightweight Championship! The 35 year old "Landslide" fan favorite is the epitome of determination and self belief. 

"Tobikan Judan" was TKO'd in the initial meeting in '16 and then followed it with a quick 0:57 TKO loss to Ben Askren the very next year. Aoki got back to work in '18 going 3-0 and setting up this rematch. Shinya has always had a nice evil streak in him that MMAFO enjoyed, but it seems as though his time at the top is long over. "The Grand Master of Flying Submissions" is amazing at chaining together ground moves, but his striking is rudimentary and his chin questionable. 

Aoki was winning in their initial meeting before the TKO, and will likely play out the same way this time as the bad attitude Japanese star claims more gold.

Upset Pick WINNER-Shinya Aoki by Rd.3 Submission

* There is some confusion as to the weight class as posters, announcements, and websites have reported this being at 170 & 155. ONE themselves, officially stated, this is a Lightweight Championship bout.

Strawweight Champion Jingnan Xiong (13-1) +232 vs. Angela Lee (9-0) -288

"The Panda" doesn't give a shit and comes right at her opponents. Xiong is tough as hell and has no fear. The champ can get a bit sloppy out there...

...which plays right into the lovely hands of "Unstoppable" Lee. Angela is 9 years younger and stellar in the grappling game. That is a recipe for disaster if you are Jingnan. The Hawaiian will have to weather an early storm, but then should find her pace and set up the finish for her 2nd belt.

WINNER-Angela Lee by Rd.3 Submission

Middleweight Champion Aung La N Sang (24-10) -114 vs. Ken Hasegawa (16-3-1) -114 [Rematch]

The 1st meeting between these two men is widely considered the greatest bout ever in ONE Championship! In June of last year these two men went o fucking war and battered each other until Sang knocked Hasegawa unconscious in the final round. Now, we are going to do the damn thing again!

"Auld Lang Syne" is the ONE Middleweight & Light Heavyweight Champion who is the superstar of Myanmar. The "Burmese Python" is a stellar submissioner and steady as a rock.

Hasegawa stood toe to toe with Sang for 23 minutes only to be knocked cold in the final moments. Ken did not take a fight in the interim while Aung notched another TKO win.

These men are in the prime of their careers but it's gonna be hard to top their 1st meeting. Both men are well rounded but Sang really seems to be hitting his stride and brings the power of the entire land of Burma with him. That's going to be a hard out.

WINNER-Aung La N Sang by Decision

Bantamweight Champion Kevin Belingon (20-5) +111 vs. Bibiano Fernandes (22-4) -139 [Trilogy Bout] 

"The Silencer" became the 1st man to best Fernandes in eight years in their '16 rematch. The Filipino shocked MMAFO as we have been fans and followers of Bibs for years. It was impressive for sure but close and not without controversy. 

"Flash" is easily the most dominant ONE champ ever and a training partner of new arrival Demetrious Johnson. Dude has amassed a crazy amount of high level experience traveling around the world and honing his craft. Neto can simply do it all.

It's not that Belingon's win was a fluke, but rather, a wake up call for Fernandes who at 38, has to think about an end he can live with. We fully expect a re-energized "Flash" to rise up with a full heart to reclaim what is rightfully his.

WINNER-Bibiano Fernandes by Decision

ONE Flyweight Grand Prix

#2 Demetrious Johnson (27-3-1) -1380 vs. Yuya Wakamatsu (10-3) +820

Despite the results of his last fight that led to the historic, 1st ever, trade in MMA, "Mighty Mouse" is still the GOAT at Flyweight! We're talking about a guy who tosses fools into the air before armbaring them to the ground! DJ is 32 and in his prime and if you don't think "Big" Johnson is looking to make a major impact at ONE then you are insane. 

The "Little Piranha" is a striking machine at the young age of 24. He lacks the tested experience of DJ and he is making his 2nd appearance at ONE.

It's not If DJ wins, but how? How does he look? Is he dominant? Will he send a message? MMAFO is jacked excited about "Mighty Mouse" entering the fertile grounds of ONE and he rolls here.

WINNER-Demetrious Johnson by Rd.2 Submission

Danny Kingad (9-1) vs. Senzo Ikeda (12-6-1) 

WINNER-?

Tatsumitsu Wada (20-10-2) vs. Ivanildo Delfino (8-0)

"Monstrinho" is making the jump to ONE with an undefeated record and is the Interim Jungle Fight Flyweight Champion. He doesn't have much experience but at 30 he's got to get moving so we understand the race to Singapore. 

MMAFO doesn't see a whole lot to like from Wada. He's alright, nothing special.

WINNER-Ivanildo Delfino by Decision

Kairat Akhmetov (22-2) vs. Reece McLaren (12-5)

"The Kazakh" is a grappler who prefers to lay upon opponents until they gently fall asleep. It's not great to watch. Still, he's pretty good there and has his share of subs as well.

McLaren almost defeated (then champ) Bibiano Fernandes in '16 and is on a 3-fight bounce. Reece is a recent recipient of his Jiu-Jitsu black belt (congrats) and should be better equipped for boxing than his foe.

WINNER-Reece McLaren by Decision

#6 Eddie Alvarez (29-6) -705 vs. Timofey Nastyukhin (12-4) +495

"The Underground King" could also be called the belt collector as the former MFC, Bodog & Reality Fighting Welterweight Champion, as well as the Bellator, & UFC Lightweight Champion, and now searches for gold in the ONE mountains. Lot's of fight left in the tank and a skill set that rivals all at 155.

It should be fun to witness Ed doing his thing and the misspelled Russian Timofey is fodder.

WINNER-Eddie Alvarez by Rd.2 TKO

Mei Yamaguchi (18-11-1) vs. Kseniya Lachkova (10-2)

V.V. came up short against in her 2nd attempt against Angela Lee in for the Atomweight title last year, but she is a former DEEP champ in her own right. "V Hajime" is a kickboxer and got a confidence boosting win last December. 

The "White Tiger" is only 23 years of age but she has won her last 5 and is a natural athlete who has competed in track, volleyball, judo, and wrestling. Lachkova is stubborn, calm in the fight, and has youth on her side. 

"Too much, too young, too fast." Airborne gets it. 

WINNER-Mei Yamaguchi by Decision

Garry Tonon (3-0) vs. Anthony Engelen (8-5) 

"Danaher Death Squad" represent! The "Lion Killer" is a ridiculously decorated Jiu-Jitsu specialist who has made a thus far successful move into MMA. We have all been impressed at the ease Tonon has shown in the cage using his fists as well as his terrifying mat skills. 

"Archangel" Anthony has a weakness for the ground work. This will be just another "test" for Garry and one he should pass rather easily.

WINNER-Garry Tonon by Rd.1 Submission

Chang Min Yoon (0-1) vs. Bala Shetty (0-2) 

Yoon lost his debut via 9-second knockout while "Shitty" has been TKO'd twice in two pro appearances. Why is this on the card. Anyone?

WINNER-?

UFC on ESPN 2 Barboza vs. Gaetheje: Fight Card, Half-Assed Musings, + Odds

March 30, 2019

Wells Fargo Center

Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

If you want to see great MMA action this weekend, MMAFO encourages you to turn off ESPN and turn on https://www.onefc.com/download-app/ for free! You can watch the stellar ONE Championship card packed with amazing talent. 

Or, you can watch this card that has 3 interesting bouts. C'mon people, support MMA and not the UFC machine that is ruining our beloved sport. Soapbox over. 

Main Card on ESPN (6pm/CT):

#8 Edson Barboza (20-6) -125 vs. #9 Justin Gaethje (19-2) +115

People seem to have forgotten a bit about "Barbie" since his recent losses to the top of the division but they were reminded of how good he can be when last out, he destroyed Dan Hooker to the point it was hard to watch. Ed can still dish it out with technical brilliance.

What can you say about Gaethje? The guy is a constantly forward moving machine who eats punishment to give it back. His fun style earned him the nickname "The Highlight" but his fights are terrifying nip and tuck affairs where he can live or die at any moment.

This is destined to be violent and fun as hell! We just don't have any faith in Justin as he refuses to take care of himself in the cage and he can't outrun the damage accrued forever. Not to mention, Ed is more technical and has more tricks in the pocket and we expect a brilliant firefight 

WINNER-Edson Barboza by Rd.3 TKO

David Branch (22-5) +110 vs. Jack Hermansson (18-4) -120

"The Executive" Branch returned to the UFC in '17 and brought with him a new "I'm a bad dude" attitude. It was a hilariously obvious change of persona to attract attention but it only made him look cringe every time he swore like a kid who just learned swear words. Dave is always bitching about how he is "overlooked" but in reality, he's just boring as hell to watch and nobody cares. Truth. 

"The Joker" from Sweden has finished the last 4 men he's beaten but he's got a couple losses here and there as well. 

This bout is not deserving of Co-Main Event status and is better suited to be a prelim, but the UFC is determined to shove shit down your throat. Who cares who wins as we've seen the ceiling for these men long ago. 

Upset Pick WINNER-David Branch by Decision

Josh Emmett (13-2) +100 vs. Michael Johnson (19-13) -110

The Team Alpha Male fighter made himself a contender in the stacked 145s only to be brought crashing down to Earth when Jeremy Stephens shattered his damn face sidelining him for just over a year. 

MJ has had a frustrating career being seemingly a title contender one moment, and barely recognizable as a fighter the next. The guy is crazy talented with great boxing skills and length, but he can't wrestle off his back and he's making a giant, scary weight cut every time he competes at this class. 

Emmett is returning from brutal injuries and we were never really sold on him being a true contender. Johnson should be able to box him up and we wouldn't be surprised if Josh is a bit scurred (sic) and hesitant. 

WINNER-Michael Johnson by Rd.2 TKO

#7 Karolina Kowalkiewicz (12-3) -150 vs. Michelle Waterson (16-6) +140

If people know anything about MMAFO, it's that Karolina Kowalkiewicz is our lady. We adore her and her love of Shitzu's which is the greatest dog breed in all the world. KK has been near the top since entering the UFC, but her lack of grappling skills have held her back. The Pole is a good kickboxer and despite her beauty, she is tough as hell.

The "Karate Hottie" is an intelligent striker who has been doing the damn thing for 12 years! Waterson has always been undersized for this division but she makes up for it with tenacity and skill. 

KK's best bet is to work in close and batter Michelle in the clinch, rather than allow the karate fighter to pick and pop from distance. This should be a very close fight but we are biased to the hilt and have to root for and pick the adorable Mamut's owner.

WINNER-Karolina Kowalkiewicz by Decision

Kennedy Nzechukwu (6-0) -170 vs. Paul Craig (10-3) +160

The "Bearjew" is not very good. He can sneak in some submissions every now and again but he's not a UFC level fighter.

Ken graduated from the Tuesday Night Contender Series and now gets his shot at the big time. The "African Savage" (his nickname not ours btw) is very raw at this point, but as we stated, Craig isn't very good. Nzechukwu should dispatch him before the final bell.

WINNER-Kennedy Nzechukwu by Rd.1 TKO

Sodiq Yusuff (8-1) -135 vs. Sheymon Moraes (11-2) +125

WARNING! Sodiq is a member of Lloyd Irvin's Team Rape so we at MMAFO hate him. Sorry, join a different team.

Upset Pick WINNER-Sheymon Moraes by Decision

Prelims on ESPN (4pm/CT):

Marina Rodriguez (10-1) -315 vs. Jessica Aguilar (20-7) +285

Some four years ago, "JAG" was widely considered the best Strawweight in the world. However, injuries slowed her ability to get fights and she fought very infrequently while the game moved on. The ATT fighter is a talented grappler but she is slow and robotic.

The Brazilian is undefeated save for a Draw last out against Randa Markos. Marina is a killer in the clinch and should be able to rough up the veteran for at least 2 of 3 rounds.

WINNER-Marina Rodriguez by Decision

Ross Pearson (20-15) +375 vs. Desmond Green (21-8) -420

Stop! Fucking stop fighting Ross! Goddamn it we love Ross. He's a good human being but he's been through many, many wars which has made him cut and bruise at the hint of a breeze. "The Real Deal" is a kickboxer who works in combinations and MMAFO doesn't want him to take anymore punishment. Ross "The Boss" has too much heart will not quit in the cage. We respect him greatly and his last war against proved, yet again, that Pearson is a courageous warrior, but a step behind at this point behind his peers.

"The Predator" is much faster than his opponent and doesn't have the wear on the tires. Green isn't going to set the world on fire or anything, but he's steady even if lame to watch.

We'd pick Pearson here if it were just a few years ago, but it isn't. We root for Ross but the MMA Gods are cruel.

WINNER-Desmond Green by Decision

Enrique Barzola (15-3-1) -115 vs. Kevin Aguilar (16-1) +105

Upset Pick WINNER-Kevin Aguilar by Decision

Kevin Holland (13-4) -185 vs. Gerald Meerschaert (28-10) +170

The classic striker versus wrestler.

WINNER-Kevin Holland by Rd.3 TKO

Prelims on ESPN (2:30pm/CT):

Ray Borg (11-3) -255 vs. Casey Kenney (11-1-1) +235

Casey just fought March 22nd, but jumped at the chance to step in here on short notice. 

Ray is talented and he's had a rough go of things as of late, but the dude is unprofessional as hell. Borg has pulled out of UFC fights 7 (5 weight cut related) times and missed the 125 limit twice! Now, he's moving up to 135 and he fucking misses weight again! This is unacceptable. Sick kid or no, at some point this guy needs to be held responsible for his actions.

WINNER-Ray Borg by Decision

https://www.instagram.com/maryna_moroz_ufc/?hl=en

Sabina Mazo (6-0) -140 vs. Maryna Moroz (8-3) +130

The "Colombian Queen" is undefeated at the tender age of 22 and making her debut for the UFC. Girl has tons of potential and already won a belt in LFA. Mazo has true potential and we're not sure that Moroz is anything other than an average at best, competitor.

WINNER-Sabina Mazo by Decision

Alex Perez (21-5) -305 vs. Mark De La Rosa (11-1) +275

More Flyweights makin' the move up to 135s. So......why?

UFC Fight Night 146 Lewis vs. dos Santos: Fight Card, Predictions, + Odds

March 9, 2019

Intruest Bank Arena

Wichita, Kansas

Main Card:

#3 Derrick Lewis (21-6) +170 vs. #8 Junior Dos Santos (20-5) -200

Our 1st reaction to this bout was jesusburningchrist, why would you do that to Junior? Now, it makes some sense and we feel more confident that "Cigano" won't get murdered and we get to enjoy the hilarity of the "Black Beast."

MMAFO loves "Good Guy" dos Santos and we do worry about the nicest guy in MMA. It stems from grotesque disfiguring at the hands of Cain Velasquez in a loss, Stipe Miocic in a win ('14), and a total of three knockout losses. Even so, JDS is 35, which is the prime of one's career at big heavy, and has won two in a row. "Cigano" looks awful after long bouts, but he's till a helluva boxer with great footwork and solid takedown defense he won't even need here. 

We all love the "Black Beast" but there are obvious holes in the game. Derrick has a limited gas tank, is rather slow, and has no idea what goes on during canvas work. However, motherfucker hits like a supernova and that really is a great equalizer.

Now, we know that all Lewis has to do is land one good'n and it's a wrap, however, if Alexander Volkov taught us anything, it's that Derrick can also be a non-factor against speed and athleticism. One quitter hitter aside, we like JDS to dance, pop and lock en route to finishing a completely gassed "Beast" late. We still love ya though big D. 

WINNER-Junior dos Santos by Rd.4 TKO

Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (20-5) +100 vs. Curtis Millender (17-3) -120

"Capoeira" has quickly become "must-see" as he does highlight shit at will and has won 6 in a row in the umber-stacked 170s. Dos Santos takes risks at times but he can engage for the full 15 if needs be.

"Curtious" Curtis (great nickname btw) is on a 9-fight winning streak and he ain't no slouch in the inventive offense department either. Besting Siyar Bahadurzada last out was nice as well. Millender is best kickboxing at range but is very weak on the mat.

Stellar striking could be had by all here, or Elizeu could just get top position and grind out a win. Either way, percentages lean toward the Brazilian in our minds eye.

Upset Pick WINNER-Elizeu dos Santos by Decision

Tim Means (28-10-1) -200 vs. Niko Price (12-2) +170

Fucking Tim Means. Don't misunderstand. We enjoy watching the "Dirty Bird" fight but good fucking luck knowing which version of the guy will show. Guy has hellbows for days but sometimes he just seems lost or uninterested out there.

People have been quick to label Price as "flakey" as well but we're not sure why. Sure he got caught last out but shit happens. Dude has been pretty durable otherwise and has seemingly shocking power.

We smells us a good old fashioned Upset people! Niko blasts Tim's feathers off.

Upset Pick WINNER-Niko Price by Rd.1 KO

Blagoy Ivanov (16-2) -130 vs. Ben Rothwell (36-10) +110

Where ya been Ben? Oh that's right, Rothwell is returning from a 2-year suspension for his 2nd violation for illegal PED's. You're a cheater Ben and we don't give a fuck about you. Nobody else should either.

Junior dos Santos spoiled "Baga's" UFC debut but he's still got enough to game to best bitch Ben (we hope).

MMAFO's on tilt with all the goddamn cheating ruining our beloved MMA so we're a tad cranky.

WINNER-Blagoy Ivanov by Decision

Beneil Dariush (15-4-1) -200 vs. Drew Dober (20-8) +170

It's been a rough couple of years for Dariush as he slumped to 1-2-1 including 2 vicious knockout losses. Beneil is till very talented and seems to have his head right as he's a pretty bright guy. 

Dober has won three in a row but the ground is his weakness which Dariush should be able to exploit. 

WINNER-Beneil Dariush by Decision

Tim Boetsch (21-12) +115 vs. Omari Akhmedov (17-4-1) -135

I mean, fuck if we know. Omari has made the move up in weight but this is a coin flip fight. Both men can bang it out but is Omari a tich too small for Mid-weight? Eh, we'll give him the chance while we know what we get with the "Barbarian."

WINNER-Omari Akhmedov by Decision

ESPN+ Prelims:

Anthony Martin (15-4) -200 vs. Sergio Moraes (14-3-1) +170

Nah, we're feeling the "Panther" on this one. We're going to grapple and Moraes has the more lethal Jiu-Jitsu not to mention a size advantage. It's an Upset card or we're going nutters.

Upset Pick WINNER-Sergio Moraes by Decision

https://www.instagram.com/yanamma/?hl=en

Yana Kunitskaya (11-4) -175 vs. Marion Reneau (9-4-1) +155

"The Belizean Bruiser" has been nothing but solid her entire UFC run. She'll have to weather a bit of an early storm here but then we expect her take over entirely.

Upset WINNER-Marion Reneau by Decision

Grant Dawson (12-1) -205 vs. Julian Erosa (22-6) +165 

Oh look, another cheater on the card. Dawson gets his shot since the idiot athletic commissions can't get their shit together and is allowed "pulsing" with illegal substances. Thanks Jon Jones /s.

"Juicy J" does nothing about it running face-first into a knockout.

WINNER-Grant Dawson by Rd.1 KO

Maurice Greene (6-2) +180 vs. Jeff Hughes (10-1) -220 [Rematch]

Hughes took the pre-UFC meeting against the 6'7" kickboxer. Doubtful much has really changed since then so the same result.

WINNER-Jeff Hughes by Decision

Louis Smolka (15-5) -120 vs. Matt Schnell (12-4) +100

Dead Flyweights walking.

Smolka lost 4 fights in a row and his job in the UFC. Luckily, Louie addressed his drinky drink problem and won 3 on the minor circuit before returning last November to get a solid UFC win. 

"Schmelly" is gonna win. This is the award winning fight dissection MMAFO is known for.

WINNER-Matt Schnell by Decision

Alex Morono (15-5) -165 vs. Zak Ottow (17-6) +145

WINNER-Alex Morono by Decision

Alex White (12-5) -145 vs. Dan Moret (13-4) +125

WINNER-Alex White by Decision

UFC 235 Results: Ben Askren & Johnny Walker Steal The Show!

Main Card Results:

Jon Jones defeated Anthony Smith by Unanimous Decision (48-44 3x) to retain the (*interim) Light Heavyweight title.

Well, that went as expected. Smith didn't really "let it all hang out" as many hoped and the only really interesting moment was when Jones blatantly cheated to keep his reputation as a cunt intact. "Bones" delivered an illegal knee to a downed "Lionheart" that was so brazen that referee Herb Dean made a 2-point deduction which is rare in MMA. 

Anthony's corner should have advised him to stay down as he would have won the title, but, Smith is a man of honor and fought on. Much respect to the good guy as the bad guy wins again. 

Jon Jones was, is, and always will be a cheater.

* MMAFO will continue to refer to this as the Interim title as Daniel Cormier was never defeated for it.

Kamaru Usman defeated by Unanimous Decision (50-45, 50-44 2x) to become the new Welterweight Champion.

Wow, this was as boring as MMAFO predicted. Awful. Nobody wants to see Usman or Woodley anymore and if Tyron cannot find a way to get some, or any form of offense going, he is in serious trouble.

Ben Askren defeated Robbie Lawler by Technical Submission (Bulldog Choke) at 3:20 of the very 1st round. 

Controversy! Things started off fire as Lawler lifted Askren into the air in a sort of fireman's carry/Angle slam scenario and smashed him into the canvas! The "Ruthless" one then poured on the punishment drawing blood with the referee closely looking to halt the action. Ben then collected himself and got to his feet only to eat a big knee to the gut. Askren the tied Lawler up against the cage before taking him down and maneuvering for a rear naked choke. Robbie turned away from the hold but Ben held on in what we lovingly refer to as the "Big Brother headlock." At 3:18, Lawler's left arm seemingly goes limp and referee Herb Dean stopped the fight. Robbie immediately stood up saying he was fine but the fight cannot be restarted. 
"Submission of the Night"

* MMAFO still believes Herb Dean to be one of the more overrated referees ever in the game, but this wasn't really his fault. It really did look like Lawler was unconscious and that is just an untenable spot for any official. 

A controversial win is still a win and Ben Askren has arrived to ruin your day and run game in the UFC! We love it!

Zhang Weili Upset Tecia Torres by Unanimous Decision (29-28, 30-27 2x).

Alright, alright there "Magnum," we see you now. MMAFO's eyes were opened this night as the Chinese fighter had zero problems with ultra-skilled Torres. We'll be paying attention now ma'am.

Pedro Munhoz KO’d Cody Garbrandt with Punches at 4:52 of the initial offering.

Cody is so dumb. He’s so goddamn dumb it's hilarious! You could tell Garbrandt knew he shouldn't stand there and trade punches with Munhoz but he just couldn't help himself. The result, he awoke staring at the lights on a now 3-fight losing streak having been (T)KO'd in all 3 bouts! Whew, that is not good. 

ATT's "Punisher" will be in the Top 10 Monday!

ESPN Prelims Results:

Zabit Magomedsharipov defeated Jeremy Stephens by Unanimous Decision (29-28 3x).

Not a bad fight. Zabit is just a very multi-skilled fighter while Jeremy is just a big puncher. Magomadomenofpenopoginov was just sparring out there and he's still entertaining. 

"Fight of the Night"

Johnny Walker TKO’d Misha Cirkunov via Flying Knee only 0:36 into the fight!

Johnny Walker "Red" launched a knee from Brazil that nearly decapitated Cirkunov. Fucking unbelievable! This young guy continued to entertain by celebrating by doing the worm and dislocating his shoulder, only to laugh about it on the mic. John's star is soaring. 

"KO of the Night"

Whelp, Misha may be about done folks. The Latvian has now lost 3 of his last 4 and by (T)KO. Not good and being robotic and slow with a bad chin is a terrible combination.

Cody Stamann defeated Alejandro Perez by Unanimous Decision (30-27, 29-28 2x).

Diego Sanchez humiliated Mickey Gall via Ground & Pound at 4:13 of the 2nd round.

Called it. This twat Gall was strutting to the cage like he was the greatest fighter in the world, and then winged hooks over and over again for a minute at which time he was completely gassed! It was damn funny and then the "Nightmare" really began as Sanchez just pummeled the cocky kid until the referee mercifully ended the big brother beating. 

This was one of those rare occasions that MMAFO was actually rooting for the crazy old man. Good work Diego.

As for Mickey, he is overrated and a dirty cheater. Gall has grabbed shorts, gloves, and the fence in every single Octagon appearance. This night was special because the little bitch actually bit Diego! Mickey should be fined, suspended, and sent to the minor leagues where he belongs.

Fight Pass Prelims Results:

Edmen Shahbazyan TKO’d Charles Byrd with Elbows & Punches 0:38 into the opening round.

Macy Chiasson TKO’d Gina Mazany at 1:49 of the very 1st round.

Hannah Cifers defeated Polyana Viana by Split Decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28).
