I can't even find it on the CBS Sports schedule. They have about a week and a half of a schedule up and it's nowhere.

It took me a bit of googling to find anything, but:  |

So it will be taped delay based, but at least it's a 2 hour slot and the gate isn't bad.

Damn. That's quite a delay and not great lead-ins. Oh well.

Genuinely fun fights thus far. Not sure I agree with the Stefanovski/Rodriguez decision though.

I wonder if a fighter will manage to slip on that entrance ramp until the end of the event  (if it already happened, i just started watching) |

I have to say this was a surprisingly solid event and most fights were genuinely entertaining. SK stepped up the production level of the show and it really helped that native English speakers did the commentary.
Unfortunately the main event ended with an early injury stoppage due to a cut, anticlimactic but shit happens.
When they edit the event for the CBS broadcast, they can play around with the order of fights. The timeslot is for two hours and I feel like they should be able to cut together a very solid first show for the US audience.
A few notes:
- I'd have to rewatch, but I'm not sure I agree with the Stefanovski/Rodriguez decision
- Constantin/Mwamba should have been the first HW Qualifyer after Stefanovski/Rodriguez. It wasn't a bad fight, but it took the momentum back a bit that was built up by the fights that came before it. Based on Mwamba's fighting style I feel they could have anticipated on this a bit better.
- If they're trying to appeal to the US audience or a more international audience in general SK should have the line up be a tad less Eastern Europe centric. Get an Asian fighter, get an American fighter who's actually in shape and doesn't just have a similar name to a better known UFC fighter.
- Daniel Sam gave a surprisingly solid backstage interview. Other fighters not so much. Focus backstage interviews on fighters who speak English well or at least have a solid translator ready.
- Fun touch was Krupadziorow calling out Morosanu at the end of the event.
