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

Caught the last round of Colares and Sanders and those two men were EXHAUSTED

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. 

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

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.

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

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

The upkick looked unintentional, shame.

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.

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

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

Cracking stuff so far between Dvalishvili and Stamann.

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?

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

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