UFCFightPass: Callum Walsh vs. Przemysław Runowski & Ali Bagodinoviç Akhmedov vs. Pierre Dibombe RBR

Significant age gap of an entire decade between Craig "The Iron" O'Brien and Edward "The Dominator" Donovan - 34 and 24, respectively.

 

Valgerður Guðsteinsdóttir - how did the commentators manage that little tongue-twister?

 

Haven't been strictly scoring, but O'Brien was the stronger man in the first couple of rounds and Donovan has been coming on in the next (38-all seems fair, maybe 39-37 either way) - all the momentum with the younger man now at the halfway mark.

 

Neither is a defensive wizard. Nor a puncher; as they've both landed big shots and not fazed their opponent. Records corroborate that - O'Brien has just two career stoppages and Donovan one.

 

Both feeling the pace, no punches thrown in the first eighteen seconds of round 6.

 

Donovan's jab is the sharpest thing scoring, but the older man is busier and has opened a cut by Donovan's left eye.

 

Stopped on the cut and going to a technical decision.

Those are mad stats...O'Brien about lapping Donovan across the board. Not sure it looked to be that stark a difference, though he was busier - his shots were mostly pitty-pat, though.
