A little surprised 170 didn't have its own thread?
Anyway, the card wasn't great but i thought R-Mac and Maia put on a hell of a show, that fight had a little of everything. Agree on Herb, seems as though he was frazzled and let Pyle beat on Waldburger for too long, the only defense i can mount is that Pyle was being very calculated and picking his shots instead of the standard maniacal swarm guys put on when the opponent is hurt and the McMann stoppage was early, seemed like she had recovered just as Dean was coming in, in his defense (again) if you have ever had to take a liver shot it does completely shut you down and i know Herb has fought and trained alot so he probably knew how bad it could be.The worst part was Ronda trying to finish with punches, they wouldn't have knocked a baby out, for all the talk of Rondas striking having evolved and her being this killer she still basically wades in winging shots with her head down trying to grab a clinch, and i am an unabashed Ronda fanboy.
