Always interesting to see KKF get his back taken and then survive to outlast opponents, but Pantoja is the last guy you want to do that against.

Solid fight, only logical one to make at the moment for the champ.

Somewhere out there Manel Kape is cracking a shit crust over this.

Interesting news for UFC 315 which is rumored for Brazil. No Pereira & no Pantoja.

I wonder if Charles vs Max II for the BMF belt will headline. Not sure what else they could use unless they change plans & don't go to Brazil.

Kai by kamehameha

 

[Mohawk Banditó]

I mean, sure, whatever.

 

[Doctor Grudge]

Pretty sure UFC 315 is to be held in Canada

 

[Milenkovic]

Meh

Isn’t Kai like 1-2 in last two years? Yea, nice finish of Erceg (spelling?), but is the division really so thin? Well anyway, I think it could be entertaining while it lasts so…

Got robbed pretty badly against Albazi and the other was a title loss, division is in a weird spot due to Pantoja having beaten so many guys, and the younger contenders not being able to get over both Brandons.

Imo this is a better title shot than Erceg or Asakura were.

He's the highest ranked guy coming off a win that Pantoja hasn't beaten already, the brandons are 0-5 against pantoja, so not much interest there. Albazi is coming off a dominant loss, and many felt he robbed KKF, I personally scored it a clear 49-46 for KKF.

Also the knockout of Erceg was nice, especially with how competitive Erceg was with the current champ.

Division is in a weird space right now, realistically it should have been Mokaev in that title fight, shame he was his own worst enemy.

I actually think Pantoja gets KTFOd in this one. The City kickboxing guys all have decent TD defense and KKF is one of the few FW who possess true knockout power.

Pantoja is a badass but he’s super reckless and thats part of what makes him great. But i can just see Pants lunging in for a TD and getting clipped.

 

[MigitAs]

Lmao @ not 1 fookin’ vote for Kai

 

[Harlekin]

I get the circumstances.
Starboy would've been a better look, with only 1 official loss, which was a close no show against an ex ufc fighter.
Good fight though and Pantoja via Sub

 

[Koala]

I remember that being a TUF fight like 10 years ago
I don't expect another outcome

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

We need Kyoji back or 40 year old DJ. Wtf are we doing.

Pantoja's just that good. He's basically cleaning out the entire division.
I expect him to either finish Kai in the championship rounds or win a wide decision.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Yeah, why not as a co-main event. Pantoja subs him Imo.

 

[SalvadorAllende]

Pantoja keeps cleaning the division. I love it
