Missed Fists: A 90-second kickboxing brawl is the early Fight of the Year, more

by

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.

Do you hear that rumbling? That’s the sound of eight straight weeks of UFC events comin’ at cha! There are plenty of great Octagon encounters incoming, but they’ll be hard-pressed to top the action we saw this past weekend.

Daiki Matsushita vs. EITO
Hisaki Higashimoto vs. Shinichiro Kawasaki
Rui vs. Takumi Nakahira

AL: We haven’t even hit February, and already we have the year’s best brawl, a delightful 90-second scrap between Daiku Matsushita and EITO from a K-1 KRUSH event in Tokyo on Saturday.
