That Kamaka/Kelley fight was awesome!!

Agreed. It was a good one. I was impressed by Chris Daukaus earlier on the prelims too. Good TKO in his fight. Fast hands at heavyweight.

[Hey Julian!]

Don’t matter, fingers tips still expose on either glove. Which round did the eye poke happen in?

Near the end of the 3rd.

Fought 10 more minutes with the injured eye.

I didn't see the fight, but sounds like he was getting beaten before the eye poke anyway?

 

[jemstar]

The old Pride gloves don't allow you to extend your fingers straight out, which is what happens when these dudes poke the fighters. Fighters who have fought in both organizations have said there's a noticeable difference, same with Rizin/UFC, Rizin uses the same design as the old Pride gloves. Damien Brown has fought in both the UFC and Rizin.

Ahh, Ok, I see, that makes sense then.

This 3rd fight was more competitive.

1st fight DC took him out early with that 1st round KO.

2nd fight DC had his number for the first 3 rounds. Then Miocic started making the adjustment(s) and worked the body shots until the TKO/KO later in the round.

This one was back & forth the first 3 rounds. Good use of defense/underhooks from Miocic. Once DC was compromised though, he had a tougher time in rounds 4 & 5.

Got much respect for DC during his career. Competed for years at 205 - despite walking around in the 240s / 250s. Him and Stipe each in the mid-230s for this fight.

* Interesting side note the commentators mentioned in the co-main event ... the guys there (Vera & O'Malley) had longer leg reach from hip to foot/toe than the heavyweights. The heavyweights outweighed them by approximately 100lbs respectively.

[Helico-pterFunk]

Interesting. Also, some questions for the fam' ... how do you think these match-ups would go had DC not retired?



- Jones vs. Ngannou?

- Jones vs. Miocic?

- Jones vs. DC 3?

- Miocic vs. Ngannou 2?

Jones vs. DC 3
Bet both of them would come back for this fight lol
