Happening at 9PM ET. One fighter already contracted COVID in the preliminary bout.

Exhibition: [8 2-minute rounds]
-No knockouts are expected (though one could happen).
-Won't be a winner announced.
-If either man suffers a bad cut, the exhibition will be called off.
-Will not have to wear headgear, and they will wear 12-ounce gloves, rather than the 10-ounce gloves typically used in professional fights.

Basically hard sparring for entertainment not competition.

I've been watching UFC. Main event about to start.

Ten years ago, I was a huge boxing fan and barely ever watched MMA. My, how times have changed!

Watched it. Some good matches besides the Robinson v Youtuber.

Tyson clearly the winner and conditioned for the fight. Jones looked gassed after the 1st round and just tried wrap him up at every chance. Overall the fights were entertaining. The production and musical performances were awful. Wouldn't buy if run by Triller again unless there was a better card ala Tyson v Holyfield?
