Yes there was that “other” MMA event going on tonight but in Sacramento, California WFC 7 held it’s own. The door’s opened at the Jackson Sports Arena and the fans began to pure in, each of them to route on their favorite local fighter.
Lots of MMA action took place on free TV this weekend but one that did not have that luxury was the CFFC 28 event from the Borgata Hotel Casino and Spa in Atlantic City, New Jersey. The event was headlined by former UFC welterweight Charlie Brenneman looking to continue to reinvent himself at lightweight and more importantly, capture the CFFC lightweight title.
Bellator was all over the MMA interwebs today with the news regarding their November 2nd fight card and tonight’s Bellator 105. During the night’s main card on SPIKE, Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney reiterated that news to the fans prior to the Bellator 105 lightweight semifinal round. Speaking of those semifinal bouts, four fighters looked to advance to the final and earn the coveted title shot.
A busy weekend of fights included a fine RFA 10 card from Resurrection Fighting Alliance, with a great mix of Midwestern talent and potential international stars. With fighters like Justin Lawrence looking to get back into the UFC and a title on the line in the main event, RFA 10 held its own.
Titles, late replacements and bizarre weigh-ins made XFC 26 interesting, but at the end of the day, it’s all about the fights. We saw some new faces to the sport, incredible grit, and a few good old-fashioned beatings to round out our night.
Slow motion heavyweight’s aside, Bellator 104 was an excellent card tonight, with a few future tournament place holders making their mark. It’s the Welterweights we all came to see though, with the finals of that 170lb tourney capping off the evening.
Yesterday’s CFA 12 wasn’t a star-studded night, but there were several titles on the line, and some career defining moments in the cage. Let’s take a look at what we learned about several key players from the fight card.
The featherweights were on display tonight at Bellator 103 with the tournament semi-finals, and all four men brought their best effort to cage. We can only have one tournament winner though and with Wilcox and Pitbull having fought very different fights, it’ll take some deep thinking to figure out the outcome of their eventual clash.
