Top-10 Viewing Options: A man avoiding downtown on Sunday like the Bubonic plague holes himself in and mutters under his breath about the Irish.
1. UFC Fight Night: Masvidal vs. Till: Stunned that the UFC isn’t putting on a card in Ireland or that Bellator isn’t riding James Gallagher for all he’s worth, so this is refreshing!
2. Errol Spence Jr. vs. Mikey Garcia/David Benavidez vs. J’Leon Love: A fantastic main event and a garbage undercard. The polar-opposite of the upcoming Crawford-Khan card.
3. Jono Carroll vs. Tevin Farmer/Katie Taylor vs. Rose Volante: Katie Taylor’s last challenge until meeting the final boss, Delfine Persoon.
4. Luis Collazo vs. Samuel Vargas/Michael Conlan vs. Ruben Garcia Hernandez: I’m not sure if you realize this…*looks around*…but the Irish tend to come out on every March the 17th.
5. Polaris Pro 9: Another stacked lineup from our friends across the pond.
6. Titan Fighting Championship 53: An awesome title fight rematch headlines a damned fine TFC card.
7. Pancrase 303: Rafael Silva defends his King of Pancrase title in a top-heavy but solid offering.
8. Fight To Win Pro 105: Bringing judo to the forefront, a few bouts at a time!
9. Absolute Muay Thai: Fight Pass getting more and more into the muay thai game makes me a happy boy.
10. 2019 NAIA Women’s Invitational: More women’s wrestling is a goddamned great thing.
