*Upset Alert*

Ricardo Espinoza went to war with Casimeroa a couple years back when he was 21 years old and has beat everybody since and dude looked BEAST at yesterday's weigh in. I think Roman is in for a shock tonight!

I've been hearing a few suggesting this.

Should be a good fight regardless of who wins. If anyone is thinking about not catching the undercard of this event this fight should change your mind to tune in early.

This card should provide fireworks, War Figueroa!

This card should have started at 8 or 9 EST, 10 is way later than necessary
