The preliminary portion of the event is serviceable, but again, it’s not the best either. It would make one helluva on-the-road card, but we must be grateful for the scraps we receive. At the top of the undercard in the featured prelim spot is a great pairing of Jonathan Martinez and the powerhouse that is Marcus McGhee. The rest is a mix-mash of veterans with a single debut nestled among them.
Let’s take a look at the event’s prelims and the alternative stats:
