Welcome to the latest edition of Missed Fists where we shine a light on fights from across the globe that may have been overlooked in these hectic times where it seems like there’s an MMA show every other day.
You know, we in the combat sports community are sometimes accused of favoring hype and spectacle and “freak show fights” over genuine competition and merit and frankly, I find those kinds of baseless comments deeply offensive. And I would hope that our appreciation of inspirational efforts like those we saw in the two headlining bouts at UFC 236 is evidence that we care just as much about substance as we do style.
