Off to book my flight immediately with that fight being announced

I like the fight, Knight had a interesting showing in his debut, showed that he can work well off his back but Kawajiri is just a really tough guy to defend against once he is on top of you.

Hoping Knight can do some rubber guard shit. Crusher was a tough debut.

This is one of those meaningless FP prelims I'm actually interested in – Alers is fun to watch and a decent prospect while Knight showed toughness and a tricky guard against Kawajiri. I'm expecting lots of scrambles and transitions. Alers wins TKO.


I have to say though, worst fight FOX card in a long time. Glover/Rumble and Edson/Gilbert, fair enough. But Holm's fight has nothing for me, especially as a headliner, and LaFlare/Yakovlev is no main card fight.
