The cardio on riddlel to keep up that pace while taking all those knees is unreal

Riddell actually put it on him. Almost gave eersel a harder fight than nieky holzken🤯 he did pretty good considering the huge height/reach difference

Brad Riddel vs Nieky Holzken would be my absolute dream kick boxing match

Not sure how others scores it but to me Brad had the first and third round.

Riddel is a BMF but those knees were vicious, Eersel is a beautiful technician. Love watching both of these men.

Riddell will be UFC champion one day best striking in the UFC

If I remember correctly knees ARE legal under kickboxing rules! Just no elbows or extended clinching.

I had Ridell 1&3 but either way great scrap, great to watch.

He’s a kiwi not an Aussie

Great fight but bs decision.

His a ufc guy now, let’s show a video of him losing lol

aaand now he's in the ufc

Awesome fight

Those knees 😬

Are knees allowed then when not clinching??

I keep hearing no knees allowed...but I keep seeing a lot of knees thrown!

Great fight...strange decision. Brad easily took the first and third round. Draw at best 🤷🏾‍♂️

Who is here after watching him in the UFCs new Sleeper fights series?

Riddel barely kicking is a serous big brain time moment.

Riddell could beat gaethje/Poirier imo

Thats the advantage of a tall long leg guys. The knees n elbows.

Why was he saying you can't knee? Yet that's why he won. I dont understand. Was the announcer incompetent?

Glory😀 so by this just throw knees and you win. Riddell out worked him the tall bloke hyped up. Would like to see riddell in glory or eventually try mma

A WAR!

are they allowed knees or not?

Riddell won that fkn fight

what a crime of a decision 😂

Surely this was a draw?

If knees are illegal why was there no DQ

Casual kickboxing fan here. Are elbows and knees allowed ?

Never forget Nieky KOd eersel with a liver shot in the first fight (it wasn't a low blow). He won that one.

What happened to no knees ? very confusing

Regian is a killer

Para cuando las pruebas anti doping?? Sus peleadores van mas dopado que hombre sin genética

Riddell looks so much smaller 😳

Brad definitely won that fight.

I'd say that's a draw

I don't disagree w/ the Judges. I want to point out how a 10 pt must is good, but flawed. Rd1 - Eersel- 9 Riddell- 10 Rd2- Eersel-10 Riddell- 8 Rd3- Eersel- 10 Riddell- 9 OR Eersel-9* Ruddell-*10 Since there's no Ties or Extra rounds, It forces the judges to not give the obvious 28/ 28 tie, (at least if you think Riddell did more work in that final round which I think was obvious *in a MUST pt. system. *Instead, not declaring the numbers but remembering the rules, they needed to score that a 29/27 in favor of Eersel. To that I ask how much more important are some of these knockdowns, to discredit 2 superior rounds w/o a knockdown? Because you have your "eyes roll back knock downs" and "fatigue knock downs", or liver shots which are easily as respectable but not as Impactful. The system is to encourage action. But I don't believe what was really 28/28 match, should be defaulted to a 29/27. Extra round eliminates that. I like the system. I think the Extra Round needs to be an option for these fights. Where *honestly, it was a 28-28 that defaulted to the person who got a knockdown, and where some knockdowns are governed by an official's mistake? (which ONE has mentioned judges don't need to incorporate an officials ruling if it was in error) it can really rob some fighters of fair wins and losses... Basically due to the knock down, Riddell could have done nothing better than a tie, unless he dropped Eersel... and in 3 rounds there's less variables/ chances... just putting it out there...

Tell me why he threw so many knees that aren't permitted smh..

Okay so are knees permitted or are they not lmao

Brad won that fight.

Should have been a draw

piss the American commentators off and let Micheal chevello go it alone . much more entertaining

poor judging

people dont understand The Skill Brad has in kickboxing.. one of the best alive glad hes in the ufc now. Brad 1 and 3. Reg 2nd 10-8. Judges are paid by one, no commission...
