Steve Garcia is the future of the featherweight division. Seven fights, six finishes, “The Mean Machine” is now firmly seen as a top contender of the featherweight division. David Onama dropped the ball in his main event, curling up and getting the snot beat out of him. But his loss is Steve Garcia’s gain. Now, give me the violence! Book Steve Garcia and Jean Silva NOW!

Waldo Cortes Acosta and Ante Delija has the funniest fight possible. Ante Delija, teammate of the one-eyed Tom Aspinall, went on record saying he’d never poked anyone in the eye during his 33 fight career. Only to go and poke Waldo Cortes Acosta in the eye, finish him, have the fight restarted, and to get knocked out. Waldo Cortes Acosta will have a hard time claiming a title shot just yet. Ciryl Gane, Alexander Volkov, and Sergei Pavlovich have a shot before them.

Norma Dumont and Ketlen Vieira were buried on the prelims but it was arguably a number one contender fight. Ketlen Vieira controlled the fight on the ground. But with last week’s judging with Jailton Almeida, we kept to the same standard and Norma Dumont was declared the winner. Now we will likely get Norma Dumont challenging either Kayla Harrison or Amanda Nunes for the title. One fight is better than the other.
