Anyone else have their DVR showing the main show on ESPN 2 as TBA instead of UFC Fight Night?

This is one of those shows that has went from ESPN+ to television. Maybe the change was so late the info change hasn't registered. I dunno. I got Reyes vs. Prochazka but the description is that of a UFC compilation show. 

[Elsalvajeloco]

Potential update: ESPN.com shows the main card as being on ESPN+.

[Elsalvajeloco]

Just on her muay thai ability alone, if there was an atomweight division, I'm pretty sure Loma Lookboonmee would be a perennial title contender. Very few fighters I've seen (male or female) look that comfortable in the clinch.

[jaedmc]

If anyone is looking to cherry pick form tonight's card, Kai Kamaka vs. TJ Brown is the goods.

[jaedmc]

..... until the judges handed in their cards. Everybody better be looking for a finish tonight.

[Guest Jimbo_Tsuruta]

The upkick looked unintentional, shame.

[jaedmc]

I think that's weird area for that rule. I get knees and kicking an opponent when they're down But if the person kicking is on the ground under the person being kicked I feel like that should be fair game.

[Hail Sabin]

It's airing on ESPN 2 right now so that got answered.

The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

[Guest Jimbo_Tsuruta]

Cracking stuff so far between Dvalishvili and Stamann.

[Elsalvajeloco]

Hopefully, this is sort of a graduation fight for Dvalishvili. It's clear he's gonna win fights on this level. Now what can he do when he's truly tested?

[Elsalvajeloco]

Man, the clip of Jotko absolutely murdering Tamdan McCrory is a reminder that fighting is hard living.

[jaedmc]

Chikadze put his whole goddamn foot into Cub Swanson's liver. Yeeeeeouch
