Wyatt beat Hilger 6-2 but really dominated the match.

the fact Poullis is the headline match because he got in a fist fight is absurd. Probably should’ve been Dake/Keckeisen

Eh I get why they had the Tsarukyan/Poullas rematch as the main event. It was pretty big news and got some publicity so they’re trying to capitalize. Plus Tsarukyan is pretty well known UFC fighter so that brings some more publicity.

Bassett is a dang hammer. That was a butt kicking.

Come on, when was the last time the other guy wrestled competively? 8 years ago? He’s a politician now. That was a layup

I've got no complaint about having them wrestle (or even the pricks Covington and Danis) , but being the main event over guys like Dake, Keckeisen is crazy. I do have to give it to Tsarukan, he's a solid wrestler, even though it almost seemed like Poullis backed off a couple of re-attacks. They HAVE to get the bad calls/reviews figured out. Thank goodness for Askren and Sparks

OK, apparently, he retired in 2020, but still he was clearly not in wrestling shape and appeared quite a bit smaller.

I agree with you. But you have to realize they’re trying to attract casuals to the sport. Dake vs. Keckeisen is an awesome matchup for us because we’re hardcore wrestling fans. It doesn’t mean much to casual fans tho.

but a rematch between a highly ranked UFC guy and an opponent that got into a massive bench clearing brawl in their last match. That draws eyeballs.

Sure it does, but it would have drawn eyeballs in 3rd, right? Whys it need to be the headline?

They know wrestling fans will watch regardless. So they're catering to MMA fans. They better hope the wrestling fans don't get fed up with the setup call outs like WWE does.

People pay attention to the main event more than anything and will decide whether they want to watch based on that. Personally I would’ve put Dake/Keck as the main with Arman/Poullas as the co-main.

Dang, I didn’t notice. Tricky spot
