Hope the mods can update the card in time

damn i knew riggs was going to be messed up in some way coming into the match giving me the underdog points, but jesus he didnt even get cleared to fight this time.

I'm going to start calling Drew "The Can-opener" soon if he doesn't go back to fighting top competition again.

wow talk about short notice. gotta feel bad for stewart.

yeah i dont really like fickett anymore since the whole elitexc thing with shields.

but i think he will pull the win out here.

I just glad to see Fickett on the card

GOOD. I had picked Riggs, but picking that guy is worse than picking Burkman.
