This is where I was going to introduce the prelims by talking about what a badass James Krause is for taking his contest with Claudio Silva on short notice. I had it all typed up and ready to roll. Of course, MMA is a fickle sport and Ante Delija – a name most of you reading this have never heard of – was forced to pull out of his contest with Cyril Gane due to contract issues. Thus, Krause and Silva were pulled to the main card, leaving the prelims without an intriguing narrative.
Then again, narrative usually is only effective in leading the horse to the water.
