Prediction main event will be a controversial split decision or complete robbery and they will fight again, thus holding up the featherweight division even longer

Even someone feathering your cup can be a bad sack tap tbh.

I've tried steel Thai cups and diamond ones and a jaco one before they went bust. It loving hurts every time.

A robbery, a decent fight, and a cool finish.

Don't forget that this is also holding up the lightweight division, which arguably has the biggest logjam of deserving contenders at the top.

Ehhh that second one was very barely grazing and even the first one wasn't egregious, I think they're both only nutshots because they move the cup to the side and that's what does the actual damage, which maybe even says something about the cup needing to be better secured? I'm just saying this as an observer that doesn't know poo poo, so maybe I'm just being stupid on this.

I don't think it's stupid, I just think fighters are going to keep not caring about landing errant shots to the groin as long as the punishment for them is so infrequent.

That was real cool and I'm curious to see Jenkins fight more people.

Its also low key a really good strategy if you're getting your rear end beat to earn a break and take the wind out of their sales.

Ricky Hatton had a fight swing dramatically because of low blows.

Prado doesn't look like he has any idea how to engage a person with longer reach than he has. He's trying to counter jabs with hooks when he's down 4 inches on reach and punching air.

This happens a lot with people who come out of Samurai Fight House. They book so many jobber fights that you wind up with human buzzsaws who get visibly flustered and confused when opponents know how to fight back.

Im trying to remember if im my life watching fights of all kinds if I've seen a ref take a point for general carelessness?

A low blow and a head butt, expecting an eye poke to round out the set.

I haven’t paid close attention to the sport for a few years, is there a general consensus re: Volkanovski’s chances? After seeing Makhachev stop Oilviera I’m assuming he’s the heavy favorite.
