I remember that card feeling the world's longest fight night ever prior to the co-main and main event. Like the last Sydney show level bad.

Yeah I agree with that. Decision city

Yeah I agree with that. Decision city

I mean not just decisions but really bad fights where a whole lot of nothing happened. Okami/Lombard, Yahya/Hirota and Fukuda/Tavares were bad bad bad bad fights.

 

[Starkist]

I was drunk before co main and main

Ahh yes the lack luster performance by the fighters that night. The co and main really were the only good fights that night when I think about it.

2013 had some of the best fights ever.

For sure. '13 and '16 are peak years in terms of the fights in the cage at least.
