Quintet just concluded it’s 3rd edition. The event that has proven itself as must see tv brought us a variety of exciting match ups and captured the attention of the audience.
The only thing that could’ve held back Quintet was the commentary as Miesha Tate and partner were not really adept to the sports jiu-jitsu all that much – and even featured a couple of gaffes.
