good card.

I hope Storm hasn't aged too much during that long layoff. always loved watching him in Bellator.

He's had two fights this year so it shouldn't be a big deal for him.

The bigger problem for him is that he's had 985082 fights in his young career. Seriously, he's had 62 fights and is only 32. Taking a little time away may have been good for his brain now that I think about it.

I wonder what the process is like when it comes to drug testing from Mohegan. I know this sounds skeptical, but what if Shlemenko submitted someone else's urine.

Seriously doubt that.

None of these fights interest bme might skip this one.

I really hope they show all of the prelims, if not most of them. Every single prelim fight is solid, and has amazing prospects.

I fought Brian white and he cut me with a knee...i took him down and was beating that ass and was bleeding in his face lol...Herb literally pulled me off of a leg lock to check my cut checked and they stopped it...dudes got sharp knees lol
here in the pic ive got hours leg isolated while he was squeeling..herb honestly should've waited to stop til there was a break in the action

 

[TD_TSW]

is it just me or does the prelims look interesting more so than the main card??

Ricky Rainey (fighting on the undercard) is a guy to watch IMO. He fought my BJJ coach a few years ago, and has come down to train at our school a few times. Good guy, and very talented fighter.

Yeah, I agree, he looked amazing after his bout with MVP. And I believe that he beat Chidi, I think he should smash Gilbert with ease. Should be a good fight either way.

he's one of the reasons why I'm not sold at all on Michael Page. they had a completely lackluster fight where MVP looked average at best.

You sure you're remembering the right fight...? He finished that with one punch, after break dancing in front of his face....

lol then yeah I'm thinking of the wrong fight...

looking at his FIght Finder page it can only be the fight against Nah Shon Burrell that I thought of.

but even so, these fights where MVP scores a cartoon KO are meaningless to me. that shit just doesn't happen when both competitors are remotely close to the same level.

[regular john]

wow that's a bad comparision/analogy or whatever you tried to do.

a regular front kick that you learn on the first day on the gym is somewhat different from scoring tornado kick KOs and shit after dancing with hands low...

MVP's resume is not very impressive. that's hard to argue. when he collects a few high level wins I won't be able to say this but so far he has none.
