I almost wished Rico would pull a Kakuda and just do the word-for-word Rocky IV speech.

+The Good+
+ Quality fights from the get go. No throwaway undercard.
+ Skvor/Mannaart actually being decent.
+ While Duut/Bouzidi was clinchy for the most part, the KO was great.
+ Groenhart taking care of Jaraya.
+ Beztati/Baya - The Fight.
+ Jamal Ben Saddik taking care of business.
+ Cool to see a large Dutch venue filled out in 2018 without Badr fighting.
+ Not really anything to do with the fights, but I felt relieved when Jamal revealed he'd heard some good medical news.
-The Bad-
- YouTube Prelims stream was a bit wonky early on, alternating between fluent and choppy playback a lot.
- Zouggary/Ulianov. Not a fun fight to watch.
- Beztati/Baya - The Decision.
- Rico/Guto proved why I didn't want that fight.
- Og3ne.
It's funny, but even though at the time I felt it was mostly a one-sided affair, I also feel Ismael Lazaar probably gave Rico a better fight than Inocente and Brestovac did.
Overall a good, entertaining event.

No Badr mention at the end at all I think this was the upset of the night.  ) Anyway cringy Rico verhoven speech did happen as expected LOL. If he did not manage to entertain us in the ring at least succeeded to do so with his speech ) He is like that awkward happy kid from childhood. |

RvR backstage "I'm disappointed with myself. I've had trouble making weight. After the first round I noticed things weren't working out. Not sure what's next, but I'm definitely moving back up in weight."
They also showed Rico backstage with his team, friends and family for a bit which was nice.

If he did not manage to entertain us in the ring at least succeeded to do so with his speech ) They actually addressed this in the backstage interview: Reporter: "Rico, you didn't call out Badr. We kind of expected you to." Rico: "Why should I challenge anyone at this point? I'm the champ. I'm always ready for Badr." |

I think also he knew that hari would trash talk him like he did with ben saddik. It was a smart move I think, it wasn't his best performence and hari would have taken advantage of this occasion and trash talk him. He might have gotten that "hugging and fucking"( I forgot it lol) speech ) |
