  • Solomon just got KTFO.

    He should not be allowed to fight again until June the earliest. #CRIMINAL.

  • Why is Solomon being thrown to the Lions? Any manager with a penny of sense would not allow this.

    • Probably doesn’t have a manager or a promotor and knowns that in order to get back into the mix, will have to win some of these fights. It’s a late notice fight I’m sure, but what choice does have? A win here might get him a contract with someone like GBP.

  • why is Ryan able to fight a guy who has fought 2x in u.s both times been beat. The guys ranked 37 what a joke.
