@duluth I thought Izzy had all 1-3 rounds but the output stats in round one surprised me. Jan was 16-10 in significant strikes.
Being a boxing guy the control aspect is always a bitter pill to swallow but not in this case. Jan was busy and got the good ground and pound in.
Jones predictably blasting izzy while unknowingly insulting Jan. Or maybe he does know.

@raznomore i was tossing up 1-2 either way. really thought izzy would hit more but Jans defence was very good.
i think guys like whittaker or costa will take some confidence from that, but getting izzy down will be another story -
As a report card from CKB they can be pleased with KKF. He saw off a very good grappler and finished him A+. Ulberg was a hard D. Gassed after 2min of the first round and no defense. Listening to him talk I don't think he's the smartest cat. I think he did enough to have another crack but I reckon he's a bust. Izzy C+. He lasted the fight. But he never got going. Looked too small on the ground and Jan knew it for sure. He got checked repeatedly on his right side but just kept kicking there. Need to mix it up.

Yan threw /kicked that away.
Thought Sterling milked it though.
Easy rematch. Yan to take it.
Nunes = GOAT
Hopefully Jan does the same to Glover then Jon Jones.
That would be a very good 2021 for him and hopefully then people would give him his dues.
Early and Prelim were great watching.
Fantastic night.

@duluth had Yan not done what he did they would have won fotn easily. Good on Ulberg he was entertaining and hopefully he's not as dimwitted as I think he is. Goes out and learns head movement and ups his cardio.
KKF well deserved. He was outstanding. That buys a lot of nappies.

Some good undercard and main card fights today. Brad Riddell bout unfortunately called because of COVID. Alex Volkanovski also confirmed he's contracted it so there's a good chance the two camps have come together...if so it'll be interesting to see if Alex has inadvertently fucked over Riddell again. Last time he cut Brad badly in sparring..
I'm just talking bs through no idea what's happened for sure.
The main fight sucked. Brunson did what he needed to get the W. But Holland is all shit. He talked in he lead up. In the walk out, at the introduction, during the fight and worst of all in the corner. If I was one of his corner men Id be pissed. He was more interested in talking to Khabib. Just blew a fuse in his head and went too far over into his motor mouth persona. He's not on anyone's radar now.
