Shana Dobson’s gas tank beats Mariya Agapova’s skill

Once again like the first bout Shana Dobson had a comeback to get the TKO win over Mariya Agapova. Although, it wasn’t an exciting back and forth in the first round it was still a back and forth battle with Agapova gaining the upper hand. However, she wasted all her energy within the 1st and started to fade in the 2nd round. All it took was a scramble for Dobson to get in a dominant position. She then bombarded Agapova with strikes until she got the TKO win. This win ends Dobson’s 3 fight skid and ends Agapova’s 3 fight win streak. What’s next for Dobson?

Although this bout was scheduled 2 months prior this bout still gave us an exciting finish. Joe Solecki showed that he is not only a dangerous grappler his boxing is also dangerous as well. Although, his boxing showed that he’s dangerous on the feet as well. He was able to land clean shots which led to Hubbard looking for a different method of attack, which led to the clinch.

Mike Rodriguez finishes Marcin Prachnio in devastating fashion

Although this bout was methodical the finish was anything but. Much like the earlier bouts Marcin Parchnio was the aggressor and was able to work Mike Rodriguez’s range while stinging Rodriguez with heavy leg kicks. However, Rodriguez clinched up with Parachnio and started to punish him from within the clinch. Rodriguez pelted Prachnio with heavy knees to the body which led to Rodriguez dropping Prachnio with a heavy right elbow which led to the finish from a single punch after Prachnio fell to the mat. This extends Prachnio’s losing streak to three. What’s next for the Light Heavyweights?

Frankie Edgar answers whether or not He should stay at 135

This fight marked Frankie Edgar’s debut into the bantamweight division and none other than Pedro Munhoz welcomed Edgar. However, the question that needed to be answered was answered by none other than “The Answer” himself. The bout was a back and forth war from the get-go with Edgar appearing to be able to land solid combinations then maneuvering out of harm’s way as Munhoz loaded up a Powershot while stinging Edgar’s leg with leg kicks. The remainder of the bout followed the same pattern. Edgar was able to circle around Munhoz and even took Munhoz down in the 2nd. In rounds, 3-5 Munhoz was still eager to headhunt Edgar with heavy shots as Edgar responded back with slick movement and fast combinations. This bout was close and a difficult bout to judge as Edgar got the Split Decision win with the judges scoring the bout 48-47 x 2 and 46-49. This win ended Edgars’ 2 fight losing streak and extended the losing streak of Munhoz to 2. What’s next for the Bantamweights?
