And Kattar vs Ige - at 145 lbs - was pretty awesome too. The skill level on these sub 170 dudes is incredible.
Some great fights this week. The best of which was maybe Diakase vs Fizeiv. Holy Lord. Get ahold of that one if you missed it on Wednesday.
This is a must watch, just to see Fiziev dodging head kicks. That dudes Muay Thai is just on another level.
He did have a little trouble with hands and calf kicks, though. I'd have to watch again, but he ended up going for a TD in the first after some nasty shots to his calves. And some 1-2s in the third landed for Diakase, enough that a judge gave him the round.
His MT is nasty but MT has trouble adapting to techniques for which it wasn't designed. A long history of guys taking out thai boxers with novel techniques.
