Duel For Domination 6 Report

This was my first time seeing a Duel For Domination card. It was an all amateur card. The card was evenly matched. No fights were you could say that the two guys did not belong in the cage together. The only thing on the negative side was the commentary. In a couple fights, the commentators were openly rooting for certain fighters including in the heavyweight bout one of them saying "I'm biased" and cheering as if he had won the lottery when his guy won. Commentators are there to be objective not to root on certain fighters, that is what the fans are for. The same commentator also made a very inappropriate O.J. Simpson knife comment. Outside of that though, I was impressed with the show and how it was run and would be willing to watch again.
