Date: October 11, 2024
There is something strange about the 10:11 PM fight time on this card. In EvolvedFights history, bouts scheduled for the "11-minute past the hour" slot have a 70% finish rate. The lights are dimmer. The main event crowd is not yet drunk. It is the "purist’s hour."
A tense, physical chess match that showcases size vs. technique, though the pacing dips slightly in round two.
Has Jane fixed her cardio? She says yes. Her coach says "absolutely." The tape says "maybe." If this fight sees the third round (EvolvedFights runs three five-minute rounds for non-title bouts), Josh River becomes the favorite. His output actually increases as the fight goes on.
