    Round 1 Opetaia 10-9
    Round 2 Opetaia 10-9

    Briedis attempted a few flurries, but fell short, Jai peppered him with jabs and a few lefts. Jai backs him to the corner late and stuns him with a left and a right. Jai stalking, Mairis attempting to counter.

    Final

    here we go! Opetai fighting like he knows he has the power and precision and is just taking his time. Briedis seems incredibly aware of the risk. Some great exchanges. Only thing I don't like is Opetai reaching with that left to the body. Interesting tense fight with some brutal exchanges. Briedis seems to be loosening up a bit

    Doesn't look very optimistic for Briedis. 39 years old against the top guy at the weight.

    Briedis’ punches still look really sharp.

    This would've been one of the most hyped crowds ever I'd say. Some serious heat being brought by everyone on the undercard to get the fans going.

    Briedis doesn't cam to win lol.
    Looks like he makes the same mistakes like in the first fight, starting slow and giving the rounds to Jai, no pressure, no cutting, very defensive

    Briedis definitely has lost a step but with Jai opening up he has a punchers chance.
