How is Bangor going to deal with all those heaters?

Well if the reaction at the weigh in means anything I would say complete apathy

Jesus, Ryan F'N Bader.

Main card was good other than the main event.  And hey, Boetsch/Tavares ended up being pretty good when I thought it would be the worst fight of the night.

Since being KO'd by Glover, Bader has relied almost exclusively on his wrestling, which means we've seen 11 full rounds of him in "action" since Sept. 2013.

Tom Kong Watson was signed by UFC to be a draw in England (he got some mainstream pub by beating MMA celebrity starfucker wannabe Alex Reid). vA few years ago. Since then, he's fought in prelims on UK UFC shows (that weren't aired in full on UK telly because BT Sport likes to do their own thing, with their analysts introducing highlights and previewing the main events, rather than just showing the show).

 

The prelims on this show were (in the UK) pre-empted by cricket. The first thing we saw was round 2 of McMann vs Murphy.

The only thing I can remember about Tom Watson was that one crazy fight he had with Stanislav Nedkov a while ago.
