Just in case you missed anything on the super busy Wednesday, here's a big recap of all what went down. I'll be out a good chunk of Thursday thanks to a vacation supplies trip to Costco (it's a trek, y'know), and then part of Friday while I'm on the road, but I'll be around more of the weekend than anticipated, and it'll still be a nice full weekend of fight coverage and all that.

Agree, there were some lost posts here yesterday.
Bob Arum would promote Lucifer himself if he could put asses in the seats.
I figured there was no way for everyone to keep pace with the output. There were about 35 posts yesterday overall.

hey Matt, I won’t be able to go down to AC for the Super Six Final. But I will probably be able to go to some fights now in the area given that I have where to stay and stuff, so I’ll let you know next time.
