Yeah there were a load of empty seats and the upper deck closed in the arena. Crowd were great though.
Hard to blame it solely on Colby AND Lawler though. The card in total lacked depth in star power to draw a crowd.
I enjoyed it there, however. Was a fun card.

Pay no attention to the anti-MMA journalists.
RT, commenting, sharing or showing them any attention is exactly what they want.
It’s shock journalism and hate-mongering.

Advice for rising fighters:
1. Do a photoshoot and have hi-res images of yourself at the ready.
2. Be active on social media - FB, Twitter, Insta - it helps everything in the fight game.
3. Do not act like you are the 3 weight undefeated champion of the world on social media.

WEC, Strikeforce, Pride, & EliteXC have come & gone. Now Bellator it seems too.
PFL (ex WSOF) is in its infancy & ONE has changed direction. A reminder of how hard it is for promotions to last.
Credit to major promotions like Cage Warriors, KSW, Pancrase for lasting 20+ years.
