Just watching it now and yeah, that is a really weird brainfart. I mean, 66.8kg is already a terrible fuck-up, but 72kg is magnitudes beyond that. Hoping a rehydrated Vidales is close to that.

Also Landman vs. Abdelkhalek is off, because Abdelkhalek was in a car accident yesterday. Hughes said he'll be okay so hopefully it's not too serious, but that really sucks for both fighters.

Presser was okay. It had some early sound issues and cringe Engrish moments, but decent enough overall. Good to see more international press there and serious Dutch news outlets like NOS.

Looks like Glory has 'poached' part 2 from Videoland for their own YouTube channel.

Also, I guess Robin Ciric has 'officially' joined Mike's Gym?

~20k sold tickets so far. That is really good for the Netherlands and a non-Badr event.

Just watched the first two eps of Videoland's Boapeah mini-documentary. It's really good.

Stream already started and nobody may have realized yet, but Grisham and Valtellini's mics are hot. They're preparing for the show and making all kinds of mistakes lol.

New hall of famer being announced. Not sure if they said tonight, as it is the big collision show, or next event.

Some truly horrific scoring for Landman/Freitas. Landman clearly won the first two rounds. At least he got the decision in the end.
Hopefully this isn't foreshadowing of score fuckery later on.
Edit: Freitas wasn't bad for a last minute replacement.

Thin they said the hall of famer is not from Europe or Americas. Who can that even be?
Kubo, Sitti?

Big win for Vidales. Karma is a bitch. I like Chikh Mousa, but missing weight for almost every fight is a huge middlefinger to everyone.
