Top-10 Viewing Options: After watching his hockey team complete a freaking 8-7 overtime hockey game, a man could actually use some fights to ease his stress level.
1. Bellator 170: Sure, the main event is a freakshow fight on the retired circuit, but the undercard is lots of fun and the prelims could easily comprise a loaded regional card.
2. Glory 37: For a Glory card, a bit of a letdown. Even the Superfight Series, usually loaded with awesome matchups, is seriously lacking.
3. Iowa vs. Penn State: The defending national champions against the greatest program of the past fourty years. An absolute powerhouse showdown deserving of prime time.
4. IBJJF World European Championships: Some of the best in the world competing in Portugal, and FloGrappling has all of it. Dern, Beatriz, Miyao, Grippo, the Musumecis amongst others.
5. Legacy Fighting Alliance 2: No title unifications? C’mon, son.
6. Titan Fighting Championship 43: Not your typical loaded-to-the-gills Titan card, but the main event should be a lot of fun.
7. Adam Lopez vs. Daniel Roman/Christopher Brooker vs. Ronald Ellis: Nothing notable, but a couple decent prospects on ShoBox.
8. Fight To Win Pro 22: Big F2W house, here.
9. 2017 Who’s #1 Duals: One of, if not the, premiere high school wrestling tournament in the world.
10. Team MMA Battle: Hooo boy….
