Result: Alexander kills Ali with the Lumbar Check to win the strap (12:20).

Rating: This didn't quite drive into the gear you'd hope for given the clear talent both men possess, and it didn't help that the crowd was totally comatose for it, but for the standards of pre-show matches, it was still a positive triumph.

The final stretch in particular was great, and it really seemed like Ali had the win for a time. Still, it's embarrassing that they temporarily relegated the match to a small picture-in-picture window to foreground a Ronda Rousey promo, which somehow seemed more disrespectful than just cutting away entirely.

It could've been better with a stronger spot on the card, but this was certainly a well above-average pre-show match. 6/10
