That first fight threw me way off. They had me 100% believing that K9 was going down hard and he came out and punished that Clark guy. Looks like he lost focus in the third and fourth rounds but when the fifth came out he was throwing bombs.

I love how they kept the fight filming style the same. Those slow-motion uppercuts in the second fight were awesome.

So glad this show is back.

Also, there are 14 fighters left so if anyone wants to get in on a pool for it reply back here and I'll put all the names together so we can pick fighters before the next episode.

Here's the list once we pick an order:

1. Nick Acevedo
2. Norberto "El Gallito" Bravo (Round 2)
3. Grady "Bad Boy" Brewer
4. Cornelius "K9" Bundrage (Round 2)
5. "Furious Freddy" Curiel
6. Andre "Daredevil" Eason
7. Micheal "No Joke" Stewart
8. Aaron Torres
9. Gary "Tiger" Balletto
10. Vinroy "Slick" Barrett
11. Rudy "El Cachorro" Cisneros
12. Michael "Cold Blood" Clark
13. EBO "The Xtreme Machine" Elder
14. Stephen "2 Pounds" Forbes
15. Jeff "Hell Raza" Fraza
16. Walter "2 Guns" Wright

Of course two fighters are now onto round 2 but I guess that will be the big benefit of picking first.

Im in for this pool
