*Ricky Palacios vs. Walel Watson
*Albert Morales vs. James Barnes
*Jay Silva vs. Oscar Cota
I just finish watching the fight, this was one of the worst fight I saw in a long time. Nothing happened for most of the first round and when something finally happened, Chuck get hit with 3 punch and went down.
I get that bringing back those legends do help these smaller promotion but I feel this trend should stop before one of them gets killed in a fight. Chuck looked horrible and had no business in the octagon and tito didn’t look better but at less he won and save himself from being humiliated.
Blame should go on a none who followed this and watched this shit show…also not blistering the athletic commission who sanctioned this shit and licensed Liddell also shiyld share blame.
And who would’ve thought Brothers of Destruction and DX wasn’t the worst thing this month.
