--THE WRAP UP--
What an awesome night of fights! Every fighter brought it. Lots of the matches went to decision and many of them were submission finishes. Surprisingly, there were no ko/tko finishes which I can't ever recall if that ever happened in local mma before. As for the stream I watched, it worked and looked well. The audio was solid and they had a technical difficulty but they worked through it and still gave the fan on the other end of the monitor a solid experience. This brings us to the end of the fights for the year and we will have a little time off until January when fight action starts back up. Have a great holidays everyone!
