This one had a lot of energy and was quite fun. It was fought fairly evenly with Dorado and Metalik taking to the air when they weren&#8217;t getting struck by Gallagher and Kendrick. I liked the mix of styles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><em>Video<\/em><\/span><br \/>\nMusatafa Ali breaks down barriers.

This was great as a follow-up to their match during the Cruiserweight Title Tournament, and it was a great statement about how both men&#8217;s trajectories have changed since that match. This got fairly brutal at times, with Murphy in particular hitting some extremely strong moves. Ali wouldn&#8217;t be outdone though, and he hit some spectacular moves that spiked Murphy into the mat throughout the match. This built well and had a very good finish.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Show Impressions<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\nAt the beginning of the show Vic Joseph mentioned that this show had a big fight feel. I thought he was overselling at the time, and he probably was, but the main event delivered on a level that made it feel very important. The other matches were good in their own ways, but Murphy and Ali maybe stole the month with this match.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Match of the Night<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<strong>Buddy Murphy vs Mustafa Ali<\/strong><br \/>\nGreat match.
