Welcome to the most recent version of Missed Fists the place we shine a light-weight on fights from throughout the globe which will have been missed in these hectic instances the place it looks like there’s an MMA present each different day.
Some of the vital standards when scoring a struggle is figuring out the effectiveness of any given strike. As everyone knows, you’ll be able to land 50 vital strikes, but when your opponent lands one which rocks you or knocks you down, it ideas the scales of their favor. It’s when neither competitor is visibly affected by the back-and-forth blows {that a} struggle turns into tough to attain, as a result of until you’re one of many two athletes in there, it’s not likely potential to inform precisely how a lot affect the strikes are having.
Fortuitously, we do have an goal method of measuring the ability of a knockout punch: How far it sends a mouthpiece flying.

Michael Alsop vs. Jesse WynneKallum Parker vs. Emmanuel Ritti
From Everlasting MMA 99 (out there on UFC Combat Cross) in Perth, Australia, Michael Alsop hit Jesse Wynne with a proper hand that triggered Wynne’s mouthpiece to journey not less than 10 ft.
Coincidentally, that’s additionally the space the referee was standing from the fighters when Alsop went in for a pair extra pointless floor strikes. Significantly, what objective was he serving being on the opposite facet of the cage?
Let’s hope somebody picked up the tools not less than. Perhaps Wynne earned a number of Frequent Flyer Miles for his troubles.
Kallum Parker simply walked by Emmanuel Ritti, shrugging off any Ritti resistance and marching ahead for a thudding knockout.
Elias Rodriguez vs. Dylan BookerBryce Woerner vs. Trevor GriceFinn Martin vs. Trevor Linderman
Elias Rodriguez smelled blood at LFA 219 (additionally on Combat Cross) and he recklessly closed the space with a leaping knee to the physique and a lunging left hook. Sloppy because it sounds, it sort of labored, and moments later Dylan Booker was left slumped towards the cage.
There was nothing fortunate about that end as Rodriguez landed a tough proper to the facet of Bookers’ head, then adopted with a brutal uppercut.
Bryce Woerner fights out of Tennessee, so I don’t actually get to make a joke about how he wasn’t leaving city with out taking residence a souvenir-in this case, Trevor Grice’s neck-but you get the thought.
It was only a unhealthy day for Trevor’s, with Trevor Linderman seemingly being in good place to beat Finn Martin, just for Martin to show the tables and win a bloody battle.
That each one occurred in Spherical 1, by the way in which.
Invoice Lewis vs. Lucas Cortes
We have now yet another journey to take with Combat Cross to Cage Fury FC 147, the place Invoice Lewis made his professional debut in type, scoring a spinning backfist knockout of Lucas Cortes.
Hopefully he knocked Cortes proper into a greater haircut.

Hopping over to Commerce, Calif, now we have Up Subsequent Combating 28 and the 2 most picturesque knockouts of the week.

Yan Saenko vs. Magomed Omarkadiev

Jason Seddoh vs. Vinay Kundu
I don’t know what was occurring right here at this ONE Friday Fights matchup, however I want I may hop within the time machine and shout “Brother, look ahead to the upkicks!”
By my rely, that’s three on-the-money kicks thrown by Jason Seddoh off of his again and for no matter motive Vinay Kundu simply dared him to maintain doing it. The outcomes communicate for themselves.
