[Stormtrooper85]

Man, Nietes has been out since December 2018. I'm glad to see him back though

3 bums on the same night for Snake’s return.
Should be an easy handicap match, a few weeks before he unifies another weight class in his next fight.

He’s one old motherfucker at 115.

Just out of curiosity, do any of y'all remember how you scored Nietes vs. Ioka a few years back? I thought the scores were all over the place. Flyweight and bantamweight fighters don't get the credit they deserve, non-stop action and awesome technical work at the top levels.

Ioka by a point or two, though I was rooting for Ioka going in.

Worth rewatching. I hope Nietes still has something left and that this isn't just wanting one last paycheck.

don't remember my exact score tbh, I think I had a draw (was there a KD? IDT I remember one), but as I remember it it could have gone either way. Given the performances Ioka has been putting on at SFlW lately I think it's safe to say that Nietes will be able to compete at the highest level of hte division assuming he doesn't show up washed up.

Well, I am probably biased in favor of Nietes, and I had him up by a couple rounds. I guess it really was one of those fights where it just depends what you were looking for in scoring. I thought Nietes landed the harder shots, but like you guys said, Ioka is a heck of a fighter and his recent success shows it.
