Not the most exciting fight, but definitely watchable.
Good grappling by Fodor, pretty good submission defense by Diagne. Can’t believe he didn’t tap from those Kimuras. That hurt my arm…

Pretty easy call for the judges. Fodor won every round pretty decisively.

Kyle v Humphreys is awesome! Not very technical, but man they’re going after each other. Flying knees, takedowns, passes, sweeps, crazy looking sub attempts. Awesome!

Humphrey needs to work on his takedown defense and his defense once he’s on the ground. He throws out tons of subs, but he doesn’t seem to be able to prevent them at all.
Nice RNC, Kyle.

Pretty action packed bout. I like these Challenger cards.
Can’t wait for the ladies to get out there and bang.

Volker via split decision.
I thought it should have gone to Devela, but it was close enough that I can see it going to Volker.

Kaufman is dangerous. Props to Modaferri for not taking a nap.

Modaferri looks like she’s kinda wobbly here in the 3rd. Still strong in the clinch, but she definitely is getting beat on the feet.

And it’s over. Beautiful knees to set up the finish.
I think Del Rosario is read for #1 contender fight.

Overall, not the greatest card in the world, but still pretty entertaining. Definitely could tell this was a “challengers” card, lots of enthusiasm, not as much technique in several fights.

What a good night of fights. Kyle is a beast but if Humphry had some conditioning he could be a serious threat. Right now he is like Sokodju where the first 5 min he is great but after that he gasses. Very good fight with Devela and Voelker but a sound decision. M<odeferi got hosed with the stand up in the first, but Kaufmann is such a great fighter, both women showed up well and proved yet again why womens mma is so exciting. This is the first i have see Del Rosiaro live and he is very impressive.
