Less than 10 mins away

 

[LMW87]

Makes sense about pushing it back, was wondering what's taking so long

 

[CantoX]

Some good fights, hoping for another suplex KO by Rustam Khabilov

 

[Halge]

 

[heavyarms21]

Nothing stands out in the undercard, hopefully they bring it though

 

[forrestcries]

What can you guys tell me about Kurt Holobaugh?

 

[heavyarms21]

It feels like the wait was longer than usual
