The main event was amazing. The rest of the card, not so much.
Finishes don't mean great fights.
Weili vs Carla.....mismatch...Carla was boring winning and losing the title....she's seems like a real nice lady on a personal level
Dustin vs Chandler.....fun fight....Chandler did better than I thought....I thought it was a mismatch going in, it wasn't.
Edgar vs Gutierrez....mismatch....Dana should be ashamed of himself for making that fight
Hooker vs Puelles....mismatch
Renato vs Riddell.....mismatch.....but fun fight and interesting octagon interview
Spann vs Reyes.....mismatch.....Reyes is shot....Spann is a must watch fighter though
Erin vs Molly....mismatch....Molly has nothing on the ground...Erin is someone to watch moving forward. Hopefully she takes some of Molly's hype for herself, she deserves it.

Summary: Main Event was a classic, after that there were a few cool moments but the fights weren't competitive outside Dustin/Chandler.

For reference, the previous holder

Hendo v Barbarian - KO (1) brutality
Big Ben v Mitrione - Meathead choke (1)
Poirier v Medeiros - Standing TKO (1) - mismatch in hindsight / this was DP rising
Ortega v Tavares - TKO (3) - excellent ATG fight
Birchak v Soto - KO (1)
Rivera v Bruce LeeRoy - KO (1)
Jordan v Black Beast - KO (2) big man with super athleticism hook kick
Akhmedov - Ebersole - TKO (1) Hairrow's knee went out
Proctor v J. Edwards - Guillotine (3)
Quinonez v L. Morales - RNC (1)

Was in New Orleans and was supposed to be headed by DC v Bader. That fight was pulled so I didn't grab tickets . Damn fool.

Still there were a lot of fun moments

Frebola vs Azaitair wasn't a squash match. Whoever landed flush first was winning

That was a great card for a Fight Night, a lot of fun. I just thought this card had some fights that were finishes but weren't good fights. Carla/Weili and Hooker/Puelles jump out at me and I think the Edgar fight is an embarrassment to the sport. The Izzy/Alex fight makes up for everything since was an all-time great fight.

While I don't know much about her, I thought that it was F'd up that Erin was getting jeers.

She a Jersey girl who literally trains 1 block away from MSG.

Dafuq's up with that?

Molly Meatball hype. Despite being a hometown gal she had little promotion
