These two bantamweights absolutely brought it. Both Mario Bautista and Jinsoo Son showcased their diverse arsenal of attacks and their iron chins in a Fight of the Night worthy performance. It was a fast-paced affair that would result in a unanimous decision victory for Bautista.
Bautista’s volume of strikes, angles and ability to handle the forward pressure from Son was impressive. He found consistent success with his straight punches, piecing up Son every time he tried to close the distance.
But Son was more than happy to absorb a punch or two or to get his licks in. In his last two fights, Son has proved to be an absolute gamer and is seriously fun to watch. His approach is simple: let’s throw down. It may not have won him this fight, due to Bautista’s effectiveness and ability to handle Son’s attacks, but it will win him fights in the UFC.
