    This starts at 4pm which isn't bad for a Saturday, only 11 fairly average fights though. Usually cards like this ended up being better than they look on paper.

    The crowd is very dead. You can hear a pin drop when the guys come out

    That's the Russians for you, might get a bit of life in the main event.

    That was great!

    They both were swinging! At least the crowd livened up a bit too!

    Taught Goddard could have stopped that sooner, that knee was vicious.

    They was an enjoyable card to watch overall. I thought the co-main was a great battle and Overeem looked very composed and took the win well. Those knees were tasty!

    His stomach is going to be sore today though, Oleinik was absolutely laying into him with body shots at times

    I really enjoyed Makhachev - Tsarukyan, a great evenly matached high level wrestling fight, it's been a while since I saw one like that

    Also did anyone else think Hardy was way too quick with the interviews, like immediately after the decision.

    Amazing co-main, rare to see two fighters so incredibly evenly matched on the exact same skillset.

    Main was good too. Overeem ate some serious body shots but you could tell he was lining up those knees from the get go and was willing to eat the punishment to that end. The actual finishing knees were brutal but incredibly well executed.
