[Luthien]

@Jackonfire thank you

 

[PurpleStorm]

Thank you Jack.

Rooting for Pena and Kai but I picked Nunes and Moreno. I do that often - tend to root for underdogs. Actually like all four fighters here, so I just wanna watch some good fights.

 

[MarloStanfield]

Awesome stuff matey, quick question approximately how long until it starts? If I was in Eastern Europe for example

 

[MarloStanfield]

Minutes not hours would be more helpful thanks matey

 

[MarloStanfield]

Hello from The Caucasus

 

[Jackonfire]

Hello from The Caucasus

Should kick off in about 30 minutes

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Hoping for Black Beast to get another huge KO win.. also want Moreno to win.

Pantoja vs Perez should be a very good fight, great style matchup, FOTN I reckon.

 

[STAY GOLD]

Rooting for Ji Yeon as she had that war with Priscilla Cachoeira a few months ago at the Apex. She's not super technical, but she has a good chin and Joselyne is coming in as a short notice replacement and on a quick turnaround as she fought on an Apex card a last month.

The FLW fights are the ones I'm interested in the most on this card and I think it's a safe bet to pick Moreno vs. KKF 2 as FOTN.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Still waiting on Pena and Anthony Smith?

Joselyne just weighed in 1.5 over. I don't understand why short notice replacement fights aren't just catch weight.

 

[Jackonfire]

Still waiting on Pena and Anthony Smith?

Yup. And they said Smith is on his way so that just leaves Pena

That would make sense.

 

[HockeyBjj]

Joselyne just weighed in 1.5 over. I don't understand why short notice replacement fights aren't just catch weight.

Any late notice fight should just be a standard 5 pounds over catchweight. Person doesn't have to kill themselves making weight without full camp and put on a shit performance, person accepting late notice replacement (which can be risky, low rewards for winning ugly if a loss) gets to have an easy week not cutting super hard. All the fans understand 5 pounds. Win-win

 

[MMAFanCal]

Where is Pena? What is going on? Nunes was the first one and now Pena is taking forever.
