    To elaborate could you imagine if they got a copyright on "undisputed world champion"? Then whenever the alphabets try to go undisputed they sue any broadcast from calling those fighters "undisputed".

    Hire me Dana, I got petty revenge ideas against the alphabet belts for days

    Taking a steady accumulation of punches round after round is how fighters become seriously brain damaged, so it was a good stoppage.

    It was the first time Bunch has ever been stopped.

    Looks like something you could order online from Temu.

    Yeah Bunch mentally checked out before Panin even threw a punch. No idea what’s going on in his life. But he didn’t wanna be there. And Panin carried him for 9 freaking rounds

    terrible fight

    My take on the main event, Glanton has a great chin, but to win it's going to require him to walk headlong into Opetaia bombs. If his chin is even better than we think, and he can get Opetaia to the ropes, then he has a solid chance. It could end up looking like Nakatani-Hernandez. Sure Billam-Smith beat Glanton, but before Glanton punched himself out, people were talking about how Billam-Smith was on the verge of being stopped. He doled out such a beating early on, he wore himself out. If he can do that to Jai, will Jai's fragile face hold up? Because Jai has never faced a fighter who's a legit pressure fighter, and Glanton very much is. Also CBS is high volume, so he was able to equal Glanton on output, whereas Jai is not high output at all, and tends to crumble when he gets hurt, like he did both times late against Briedis. Jai should most likely win by KO, but it's not a sure thing at all.

    No, Bunch was just trying to survive the distance, he decided early he couldn't win - but Panin did fine, it's not easy to knock out an opponent who is just trying to survive.

    It wasn't his fault that Bunch was in full defensive mode - on the positive side, consider Panin was the first to stop Bunch in 27 fights.

    Yeah I think Glanton can make this interesting. Jai gets hit and marks up. I hope for a firefight early before Opetaia closes the show

    Based on the sanctioning fees Zuffa sent the IBF, Opetaia is getting $1.5mil for this fight and Glanton getting $200,000.
