Triller Fight Club has announced that Triad Combat II will take place at the end of February and be headlined by a nine-round heavyweight clash between former heavyweight title challenger Kubrat ‘The Cobra’ Pulev and former UFC champion Junior Dos Santos with a venue and date to be announced shortly. Pulev smoked MMA legend Frank Mir in the opening round at Triad Combat I.
Additionally announced is a seven-round cruiserweight fight between former light heavyweight champion ‘Bad’ Chad Dawson and former UFC champion Vitor ‘The Phenom’ Belfort. Dawson is a three-time former light heavyweight boxing champion who last fought in 2019. Belfort scored a first-round knockout over 58-year-old boxing legend Evander Holyfield last September.
Former WBO heavyweight boxing champion Shannon ‘Let’s Go Champ’ Briggs will be the boxing team captain and former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton ‘Rampage’ Jackson will head the MMA squad.
Triad Combat takes place in a triangular ring over two-minute rounds featuring professional boxers competing against professional mixed martial arts fighters using MMA gloves.
why?
If you don’t know the answer to the question, then the answer is almost certainly money.
Because it’s what our species is trending towards. Aren’t you paying attention? Aren’t you noticing that people are getting stupider at a rapid pace? The movie Idiocracy was way ahead of its time and is a precursor to what western nations will become. Just enjoy the time you have now and live life to the fullest, because it will all be over soon.
I used to think idiocracy was a comedy, now im thinking its a documentary
It is a comumentary:)
Can fightnews please stop reporting on this bullish!t.
Its still a boxing match and its what a site should do to have all around coverage.
The names on the card are well known so its worth mentioning.
Sure it would be perfect for you to read the post, and decide it aint news worthy, and delete it because you know nobody else wants to see it.
You forget People said the same about the Paul brothers and they both have the best PPV numbers for 2021 . Stay in your bubble if you want.
At the end of the day (of complaining), We all clicked on this article to get here.
Fightnews is starting to become like ESPN boxing, soon they will start promoting the Paul brothers are the new P4P kings.
I’m guessing that they’ll only be able to bring boxers who are past their primes into this, as has been the case so far. This feels like a fad that won’t last long, but I’ll take a look at the replay of Dawson-Belfort just out of curiosity.
Can’t help but wonder how much different Mayweather-McGregor would have looked in this format. They allow hammer fists, spinning back fists, and I’m not certain, but I think they allow them to stay in a clinch without breaking them, which would have helped McGregor. Certainly would have been a more level playing field…
Floyd toyed with McGregor. Floyd could’ve taken out the featherfisted McGregor anytime he wanted. I can’t believe the Nevada State Athletic Commission actually sanctioned that farce as a “professional boxing match!” McGregor had zero punching power with regulation size boxing gloves on.
A few more fights and the WBA might make Pulev a #1 ranked contender for a version of their belt.
Looking forward to this.yall need to stop bitching and complaining.
Chad Dawson certainly could outpoint Belfort from the outside. Maybe I am grasping at straws, but I think Dawson could easily outbox Belfort and beat him using reach and lateral movement.
A true pick’em fight huh scoob? One for the purists:-) All we can do now is laugh or pick up arms. Because we’re never going back now. Damn that Karl Marx.
yes, Dawson should certainly be able to do that with ease. but who knows where his is?
What next? Fighters (bloggers vs. vloggers) fight each other in hexagon. Match lenght 7rds, round lenght 1:47s. Instead of using gloves, fighters use hand bags and umbrellas. The Situation and Snooki in studio as expert commentators.
This isn’t the problem it’s the sport in general. Boxing has become an abysmal pit where the only thing that is important is maximizing profits with a path of least resistance. The IBHOF should be out of business since there’s nothing to report for the future.
Bad matchup for dos Santos, a clear money grab. The other fight might be ok see if Belfort can box, Dawson’s a smaller guy I’ve questioned his power before it could end early
