Top-10 Viewing Options: I’m only watching sports in which it’s impossible to blow a TWENTY-FIVE POINT LEAD IN THE BIGGEST GAME OF THE YEAR.

 

time_warner_cable_us  1. UFC 208: What was a sorely lacking card a month ago has been filled with a pretty damned great undercard. Glover, Jacare, Poirier, freaking ANDERSON SILVA. The main card has been rounded into something damned fine.

 

 

unnamed  2. Luis Cruz vs. Robert Easter Jr./Rau’shee Warren vs. Zhanat Zhakiyanov: This is a fantastically loaded card that shouldn’t be on freaking Bounce. Two world title fights for the love of PETE.

 

 

screen-shot-2015-09-30-at-6-29-31-pm  3. Road Fighting Championship 36: Road is getting into the tournament game, putting up a million-dollar lightweight tournament, and booking Melvin Guillard, Andy Main, Ronnys Torres, and Shamil Zavurov amongst others.

 

 

showtime  4. Abel Ramos vs. Ivan Baranchyk/Lenin Castillo vs. Joseph Williams: Ramos and Baranchyk is a solid ShoBox main event, very prospect-heavy.

 

 

axs_tv  5. Legacy Fighting Alliance 3: The former Legacy and Resurrection’s weakest offering of their three debut shows, get with the title unifications, goddammit.

 

 

one-fc-logo  6. OneFC: Throne Of Tigers: Pretty weak OneFC card. So many champions, so few fights.

 

 

espnews_hd  7. SC Featured: No Excuses: I’ve referenced this multiple times in this space, but it’s worth watching every single week if you have to. Isaiah Bird was born with NO LEGS and became a wrestler. I won’t even go to the store when I run out of skim milk, I’ll just drop four ice cubes in a glass of whole.

 

 

5652cbff8c849  8. Fight To Win Pro 26: Not their usual loaded card, but after they had last weekend’s blockbuster doubleheader, they’ve earned it and then some.

 

 

youtube  9. Super Fight League: Giving them props for bringing back the team-MMA aspect.  IFL never die!

 

 

hbo_comedy_east  10. Play It To The Bone: Hahaha, holy shit! Play It To The Bone! When was the last time you saw this?? I was so happy when I saw this listed.
