Trying to avoid spoilers, so I haven’t read the thread, but is there any way for people outside the US to watch this?
In front of the dozens and dozens. It’s just that there’s not a lot of people who will go watch this.

Someone commented on the relatively fast pacing on the show format which is nice.
Admittedly I was not dialed in / super focused at times between matches.
I feel like the event undersold or could do a better job promoting the significance of Kyle Dake’s accomplishments and also what a rarity to get to see a rematch or match in general between a wrestler with Dake’s accomplishments vs Magomedkhabib.
Does not need to be long but could be more compelling in telling the story.
Remember the goal here or rather the requirement needed to survive is to engage a larger audience.
If I have a chance to watch again, I will dial in where the breakdown is.

the “significance” was promoted plenty, but, anonymous forum nerds who don’t actually watch and just talk shit on everything would not have noticed…

Don’t confuse your battles with the need to expand the audience.
People that build and grow things are talking.
I may give this another viewing to dial in on the areas with room for improvement.
Goal to help this event continue which brings eyes to wrestling other than seeing them get beat up in the UFC.

the simple fact of the matter is that RAF has now put on 5 shows in 5 months…
every event has been bigger and gained more attention…
they are doing fine…

On a humorous note when Rockhold first moved around the mat in the singlet it reminded me of Holly Holm.
They move different and not in the way experienced wrestlers move.

It would have been amazing if RAF existed 15-20 years ago. GSP. Matt Hughes. Josh Koscheck. Cain Velasquez. Daniel Cormier. Chael Sonnen.
And even more if it was out late 90s and 2000s. Some amazing names could be thrown in there.
I love what they are doing.

This proves wrestling is far more exciting than sport BJJ
the US would have had far more wrestlers stick with the sport for a chance to continue their true passion and make even a little bit of money at the time…

of course the flip side is that if wrestlers had outside opportunities to make some money, the UFC probably would have never made it in the 90s…
so, pick your poison…

Or may have been bigger due to more exciting fights.
