Early prelims start at 10.15pm for us UK fans!

Last weekends card had 15 fights scheduled but it came down to just 9 fights after 6 fights got cancelled.

Spoiler: The fights that were cancelled

Dominick Reyes vs. Jiří Procházka - Rescheduled Due to COVID Protocols

Alonzo Menifield vs. William Knight - Menifield Tested Positive for COVID

Randy Brown vs. Alex Oliveira - Brown Withdrew, was replaced by Ramazan, who then also withdrew due to illness

Raphael Assunção vs. Raoni Barcelos - Assunção Withdrew, was replaced by Rojo, then Assuncao tested positive for COVID

Emily Whitmire vs. Hannah Cifers - Cifers Withdrew, was replaced by Hughes, then Whitmire also withdrew

Angela Hill vs. Ashley Yoder - Yoder Cornerman Positive for COVID

Also, last weekends card had 8 fights go to a decision, with just one fight ending by finish....imagine if that was repeated here, it'll be like a 9 hour event.

You've got to be effing joking right? I mean there are 4 or 5 fights I want to see from this card but spending 6 or 7 hours watching every fight? Fuck no.

Good luck East Coast if all three title fights go to decision.
