Pretty impressed by KN. Good performance. Got hurt, showed he doesn't quit and can recover. Good clinch game. Choke was slick only hes striking defense is a bit shaky

I sometimes see guys get better throughout their career but never improve when it comes to fight iq someone like rumble for example. Great to see that someone who seemed to have low fight IQ is getting much better. Kennedy used to have low output and let opponents go at him before taking it back to them. He’s not the most technical but he’s definitely becoming the most well rounded and seems to always know where his edge is

Statement made by Kennedy. By submission at that…

This next fight is such an anticipated one! Frevola is fast,so is Dober. Really hope Dober is more technical in this one and gets another Ko win!

The sad thing about this fight is I can’t pick who’s more cringe even though one is trying to be cringe while the others trying to be cool

2 fighters that go for it one has more power and a better chin as well as better striking but I wouldn’t be surprised to get it wrong still
