Jake Paul is in for a world or trouble. The good news for him is that it'll be over very quickly.

It's sooo bad. That card and some of the others coming up, are what happens when the UFC decides to stack PPV's extra heavy but still has to fulfill obligations to ESPN of three events per month.

The only truly notable fighter were Christian Rodriguez and Macy Chiasson. Everything was mid, inconsequential, or worse.

We get more PFL vs Bellator tomorrow, but you'll probably be at work when it kicks off...
Every Pitbull fight is a fun watch...so it'll be cool to see him debut for PFL.
Also, we've got our first major pop of the post-USADA era. Walt Harris used to be a hyped prospect for HW, but was never able to hit a real stride between a few bad losses and injuries. His story took a turn toward heartbreaking right when he finally got a nice win-streak going and put things on pause because his stepdaughter went missing.
To make a long story short, she was kidnapped and later found murdered. It clearly took a toll on him before the biggest fight of his career against Alistair Overeem. He got a couple more high-profile matchups which he lost, and now this.
This is one guy I will leave alone for popping. He's been through enough, and it's sad to think that his career is probably ending like this.

- Rose Namajunas returns and fights a tougher-than-skilled Amanda Ribas. Rose has fought once per year recently, and she's on a two fight slide. Ribas feels like a "get back on your feet" opponent, but offers the bonus of being really scrappy. So, it should be a fun fight, and if Rose is finished than Ribas has enough talent to pick up a huge win.
- Edman Shabazhyan was a super bright prospect who represents the last casualty of Edmond Tarvardyan's ruinous coaching career. AJ Dobson is a DWCS alum who they're trying to make work. It's a former hot prospect that fizzled out against a new hot prospect whose kinda fizzling out. But one of them can get some momentum here.
- Billy Quarantillo vs Yousseff Zalal is my most likely for fight of the night. I don't think Billy Q has ever had a boring fight and Yousseff is tough as nails. Zalal had to fight Sean Woodson and Ilia Topuria in back-to-back fights which is pretty damned rough. Since those fights he's taken a nice leap, finishing his next three opponents.
The under card has some decent prospects and Kamaru Usman's brother, but nothing I'm gonna go too deep on. They all have to show us more.

I can report that my wife and I have entered negotiations for me to attend this event in person. Both sides want to get a deal done, but there are significant hurdles to clear.j4remi wrote:Banger alert:

Superlek vs Haggerty LFG! Y’all know Haggerty, but to put Superlek in perspective, he’s just beaten Takeru and Rodtang back to back (Rodtang was debatable). This is a superfight!

If I didn't already have vacations planned in June and August, I'd be looking at flights to Denver. The two main events are worth flight and admission on their own. I'd be surpised if they don't work on putting Mighty Mouse on that card too.
