December 10 2016 (december 11th for me in Australia) was truly a day where my commitment to combat sports was tested.
It all started at 7:00am in the morning with Anthony Joshua creaming Eric Molina in the 3rd round to retain the IBF heavyweight Title. (watched on cable subscription through fox sports EDIT: watched on Jadoo 4 tv not fox sports)
After this at around 9 or 10, probably the biggest kickboxing match ever happened when Rico Verhoeven vs Badr Hari went to war. It was insane fans fuckin stormed the ring to support Hari. The match was awesome but had a very anticlimatic finish with badr breaking his arm. (i think i bought this on UFC app can't remember)
After this you had a boxing card with Abner Mares-Jesus Cuellar for WBA featherweight belt (did not watch this), but watched Jermall Charlo knock out Julian Williams in the 5th to retain IBF junior middleweight title
(streamed this, go ahead judge me)
Before UFC 206 you had a bellator kickboxing card which featured the best kickboxer on earth Georgio "The Doctor" Petroysan disect
some english scrub. This was around 12 or 1
(streamed this as well)
At 2pm Then you had a triple header with bellator 168 (average card) only watched the Sakara beltran fight, (streamed this on ipad)
UFC 206 which honestly was for me the best event of the year, bought this on cable ppv as i am a huge holloway fan

And you had an undefeated, undisputed and one of the most highly regarded boxers of today Terrence Crawford light up John Molina Jr for 8 rounds (streamed on ipad). The Molina's had a bad day across the globe it seems.
Finally after all this it capped off with the last event at 5:30pm on fox sports featuring Joseph Parker earning a boring decision over Any Ruiz to win the vacant WBO heavyweight title and the first New Zealander to win a major belt in boxing.
It finished around 7pm.
I watched 3 different combat sports for a total of 12 hours. It was mentally exhausting, i was honestly so done by the Petroysan match but the Gastelum match brought me back then Joseph Parker killed the night for me.
Overall it was insane fellow sherdoggers.
