Can't wait

 

Sucks this is being overshadow by UFC/Conor.

Probably should have it put on a "tentpole" event instead.

Evangelista "Cyborg" put the Mohegan Sun Arena on hush mode.

The Koreshkov vs. Henderson bout is up next.

Lightweight is probably lookin' pretty good right about now.

So far Ben has been knocked down twice and outlanded 87-38.

How many fights does Koreshkov have left on his contract?

I am more interested in the contract situation of Will Brooks. I think he can hold his own with the best in his weight class.

Anyway, props to Koreshkov for showing massive improvement and not taking a step back. Did what he needed to do.

is Michael Page (10-0) ever going to be a contender, or will he fight guys with no wikipedia page for his entire career?

He's fighting Fernando Gonzalez on the London show. That would be his first halfway decent opponent since Nah-shon Burrell awhile back.
