Rory/Daley and Shorty Torres are the two fights I'm looking forward too the most.
 
Holy hell that WFCA card is stackedddddd. Legit one of the best non ufc cards I've seen in a while.

Also the ACB card looks great (ACB has so many solid fighters on their roster...damn)

Its really cool to see mma overall doing well, especially in the Russia area. I remember just a few years ago mma outside the UFC seemed dead. Now we have bellator doing solid, wsof revamping, ACB, Fight Night, Rizin, etc.)
 
My picks in order
1- Daley vs Rory (Bellator)
2- McGeary vs Vassel (Bellator)
3- Torres vs Sharipov (Titan) (Torres is probably one of the best prospects in MMA)
4- Kongo vs Sakai (Bellator) (probably not going to be fun, but has name value)
5- Tumenov vs De Jesus (ACB) (Tumenov warwagon!!!!)

Other fights that im going to look for (in order):
1- Vartanyan vs Koshkin (ACB) (should have got my vote if it was on the list)
2- Nemkov vs Markes (M-1)
3- Calvacante vs Holobaugh (Titan)
4- Bataev vs Balaev (ACB)
5- Smoldarov vs Boser (ACB)
6- Mutpacic vs Isaev (ACB)
7- Bezzera vs Zhamaldaev (WFCA)
8- Alcantara vs Ushukov (WFCA)
9- Zhumagalov vs Vartan Asatryan (EFN)


Its crazy to see the "Fantastic 4" of Russia (M-1, ACB, WFCA, Fight Nights) having events the same weekend, all of them with good fights....
And also Bellator is having a really good event in foreign territory....
Overall a great weekend, going to tey to watch all that i can....
Thanks @mattandbenny !!!!!

Pretty sure the Koshkin - Vartanyen fight at ACB is off. No longer on the fight card on their website.

Vartanyan busted his toe on the scale

Warning for gruesome toe
 
Nemkov, Einstein, and Rory.

Probably would have picked Tiburcio/Simpson from Invicta, but look forward to another grumpy Polish lady.
