Never been a big MMA fan but I will tune in before I switch to the Haney vs. Diaz card. I know nothing about Knight, but will be rooting for him to bring home the W.

Prelims are on ESPN news I think.

First round to knight. Second to Menefield. 3rd-round is going to decide it if it goes to a decision. Surprised Knight hasn't used his wrestling more... hands are too low.

Terrible 3rd round. Guess Menifield wins bc of control but yeesh, very boring

Great fight. Your boy pulled it off!

Surprising that it was a UD. Judges probably got that wrong imo

Been watching since UFC1. It happens. Glad to see a CT guy get a win. Not a good look when you are backing up and taking a beating at the end of a fight.

Many judges in MMA don't give you much on the scorecard for getting a position and holding it. I was thinking split decision, surprised by the UD. Probably came down to the couple strikes Will threw that last minute of the 1st and Menefield backing up and trying to run out the clock.

11-2. Should get around 25k to show up and 25k more for the win.

UFC fighters get a joke of a salary. Need to unionize, but they all have too much CTE to figure it out, lol.
