Notice how in the article they dropped Nico.. it’s now Ali Walsh! He’s 3-0 fighting a 1-1-1 fighter. Way to step it up buddy

Calm down dude he's obviously a work in progress and considering he lost his last fight he should be 2-1 and he's fighting a guy that is not too far off. It's a building fight but at least the guy doesn't have a losing record.

I’ll say this about Walsh, he’s fighting as often as he should. For the next 2-3 years he should bight anywhere from monthly to 6 times a year if he is to take the slow road to a title shot….which he should. 30+ fights before a title shot

Good main event and chief supporting fight. As for Nico, he's fighting a guy who's only win and only loss come to the same opponent (both by stoppage). Looks like he's also an MMA fighter with a 5-10 record.

I don't have a problem with Nico himself, it's the way ESPN promotes him and ties every damn sentence into his grandfather. They need to tone it down a notch

Interesting that both he and Benn should both have an "L" from unheralded journeymen early in their careers. Benn has slowly developed into something after 20 fights, perhaps Nico can as well. I doubt it but it's possible.

I think Conceicao can get the win, I thought Martinez was very fortunate to get the nod against Marrero. I'm gonna go with Rene Tellez Giron by stoppage over Melendez...either way, some good fights.
