I must be in the minority here but RAF is of very little interest to me and I cannot see it being viable in the long term. I suppose as long as the guy with deep pockets is good with it, it will go on. But, having influencers and washed up MMA guys wrestle is just not intriguing in the slightest. Watching pat Downey get whipped is always fun, but at this point it's just sad. Idk. Glad you guys all seem to enjoy it.

I regard it as a "development stage" product at this time.

Sort of like the first iPhone. Of course no Jobs around to toss whiff prototypes into the aquarium.

Production has improved. Last night was definitely better than earlier versions. I think they’d better part ways with Chael though. Dude swore and said things that are unacceptable.

Urijah Faber didn't belong on the card. My wife looked up and said that he looked like a fat, out of shape fisherman. He's 15-20 years past his prime and disgraced himself on the mat.

He competed in MMA at 135 in December of 2019 and competed at 175 last night, so he had that going for him : )

TBH... I was at the event in Philly this past weekend. They put on a good show. The crowd went nuts when Kyle Snyder pulled out a big comeback. Nolf showing there are levels to this... and while it sucked that the main event was canceled... there was some good wrestling and it builds interest in the sport! Good time

I’d imagine there would be a long list of dudes who would wrestle Spencer in RAF especially since there are 3 periods.

It's 6 minutes either way. RAF format probably helps Lee since one more break.

I wonder if Pico regrets his decision to go straight into MMA. His earnings have been modest, and he could have always gone that route after a folkstyle/freestyle career.

Maybe. He's had some brutal losses in his MMA career. He looked incredible in his last fight against Pitbull. He's still young, but maybe he's already had his bell rung too many times?

At least the promoters are smart enough to give pico a seemingly easy first opponent: 39-year-old Lance Palmer, who, like 29-year-old Pico, has not competed in wrestling in quite a while.

Too bad Pico’s first MMA opponent was not as carefully chosen!

Doubt it. Certainly may regret his in-ring choices (not using his wrestling). But it's what he truly loves more than anything.
