Since we lost High vs Case, the prelims might begin at 6:30 PM ET instead, but everywhere still says 6.

Tap has prelims starting at 7 (5 fights for 2 hours instead of the usual 30 minutes each) but idk,they did it before iirc.Junkie has 6:30.Those are the most reliable for me,especially Tapology.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Odds updated with the most of the remaining fights on the prelims. Still no odds on Saidyokub Kakharamonov vs Omar Nurmagomedov.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

So we got 2 Heavyweight bouts today, a finish gets them into playoffs (decision may not be enough).
- Mo De'Reese vs. Leroy Johnson
- Caio Alencar vs. Mike Kyle

Also they said Jared Rosholt's playoff spot was clinched but it is not. He could get eliminated.

The De'Reese/Johnson fight isn't for the playoffs, it's a "New Fighter Showcase" which makes me think qualifying for the next year's tourney.

 

[europe1]

Sean O’Connell is the only one who has actually won points.

From a mercenary perspective, would seem smarter for him to just fake an injury so that he's not risking anything.

 

[Danespina]

The De'Reese/Johnson fight isn't for the playoffs, it's a "New Fighter Showcase" which makes me think qualifying for the next year's tourney.

I deleted my misinformation, thanks, didn't know.

Josh Copeland (#8) may be getting bumped for Kyle/Alencar.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

I deleted my misinformation, thanks, didn't know.

Josh Copeland (#8) only has a split win, so should be getting bumped for Kyle/Alencar.

All good, I had to double check to make sure. The Alencar/Kyle bout is for the tourney, though. I think the implications are as follows:

If Kyle wins by decision, Copeland makes it into the tourney with the final spot. If Kyle wins by stoppage, he's in and Copeland is out.

If Alencar wins, he's in and Copeland is out, because Alencar lost by decision and Copeland's loss was in the first round.

 

[europe1]

First fight starting now!

06:20... what a strange start-time

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Fights are about to start, a few minutes earlier than the 6:30 that they said. Fighters are in the cage now.

 

[europe1]

Muhammed participated in an event called "Donnie Hair's Live Cage Fights - War on Cystic Fibrosis"

I drear to know what the hell that is. Barbershop MMA?

 

[Kryptt]

Awesome love weeks full of MMA. This one I didn't forget!

And in!

 

[LiQuiD42]

In!

 

[Kryptt]

As an old EQ Player ever time he shouts Leeerooooy Jooooohnsoooon, I hear...

 

[Kryptt]

Ohhh shit! Kneed to deeded!

 

[JayPettryMMA]

whoaaaaaaaaa

 

[europe1]

Ran right into that!

 

[Lucifer Alpha]

Hope I don't have to watch this in Spanish like last time.

 

[JayPettryMMA]

Dude's still out. That's not great.
