By Anthony Pires on 2020-10-26 17:24:00

Quinn McKay welcomes us to tonight's show and we go to highlights of Tracey Williams' victory over Fred Yehi.  Williams' post match comments center on the disrespect he feels from Jay Lethal.  We then see highlights of Josh Woods' victory over PJ Black.  Woods is awesome both as a competitor and his interaction of worshipping Silas Young.  He plays that and the dumb jock so well. Woods takes on Jonathan Gresham in the Block B finals.

Ian Riccaboni and Caprice Coleman have the call
