To copy paste my quick initial post-event thoughts from the Live Event Discussion Thread:
Pretty fun event!
Unfortunately, once again the SFS kind of overshadowed the main card which should never be a consistent theme within any promotion, but oh well.

Benny is technical and well rounded, but he is too chinny. His deffense and ability to take a strike is very limited. Silva rocked him three times, once in the first round with a punch and then with high kicks at the beginning of the second round and at the end of it.
Personally I much prefer Jamal ben sadik over him and if he comes prepared I think he would Ko Benny. What he also lacks is that one punch KO power that can end a fight at any given moment. He is a volume striker who doesn't have much explosion or Ko power, which coupled with his bad deffense and poor ability to take a strike is what makes it so dangerous for him. His opponents are not affraid to venture close to him and attack. Also the longer a fight go the bigger are the chances to get caught with something big and be put down.

I think the stacked SFS is a good thing. More Fight Pass guys will enjoy it and we should in theory get more cross over.

Being able to put on a strong SFS portion is great. I remember when we had these really lame SFS cards a year or two ago when it was typically not much more than a glorified name for 'undercard'.
Having said that, a main card should never feel like a step down from what happened earlier. It's not a big thing if it happens incidentally, but this has been a recurring theme with Glory lately and at a certain point it becomes really noticeable and starts sticking out like a sore thumb. Whatever positive feedback Glory gets on their SFS cards lately, I'm pretty sure they don't want the narrative amongst the community to be what it is at the moment. It doesn't help that more and more people are starting to call bullshit on various aspects of the tournaments. I guess the silver lining in this is that at least people are talking about Glory and us complaining hardcore fans are just a small niche portion of the overall audience anyway.

It's extremely rare, but sometimes even I am able to write in coherent sentences.

Interview with Morosanu, in romanian though
In short:
*thanking romanians for the support, he says it was his biggest welcome outside of Romania;
*thanks to this, he said he was extremely emotional in the first round. He wasn't afraid of taking a beating "i had enough of those", but was afraid of losing and shaming those supporters;
*he focused for the 2nd round and results came fast;
*he was impressed with Maurice. He said he underestimated him greatly because he talked to him and he (Maurice) said he can't train full time cause he has to work, while Morosanu all he did for this fight was train.

Overall I think Romanian supporters are pretty pleased with the results of the past weekend.
