*Note: Eddie is out again this week with his high seas adventures.
The card that should’ve been left an unfulfilled dream on Sean Shelby’s pillow is over and with it, Neil Magny’s hopes of hanging on to that Number 15 ranking. It was pretty much a foregone conclusion, but watching it in practice was kind of sad. Reinier de Ridder showed out in his debut, defeating Gerald Meerschaert in a wild brawl that saw the UFC vet arm-triangled in the third round.
Did the card have its moments? It sure did, and plenty of them. Were the majority of fights on this card consequential to rankings movement? No, they weren’t. What’s the point of being the biggest promotion in the world if your events are on par with regional level shows? But I digress.
Let’s look at the results and bonuses:
