4 years agoIrwin Rivera earned a very hard-fought split decision in Saturday night's opening bout. The numbers were pretty close on the night, with Rivera landing 45 total strikes and 36 significant strikes. He also landed two takedowns on the night, matching his opponent's number. The bout with the newcomer Ali Al Qaisi was extremely close. Nothing in this performance showed right now that Rivera is a name that needs to be on your immediate radar for future rostering considerations.--Matt Bricker - RotoBaller
