Another interesting thing about Rice is that all six of his losses have come to undefeated fighters. His first loss was a 4 round decision loss to Ireland's Con Sheehan who's 6-0, then he dropped a 6 round nod to Stephan Shaw who's 14-0, the 6 round decision loss to Tony Yoka who's 10-0 came next, then he was stopped in the 7th round by Makhmudov who's 12-0, followed by a 10th round stoppage to McKean who's 19-0, & finally, he dropped a 10 rounder on points to Efe Ajagba who's 15-0. So, he has no losses to journeymen or clubfighters. He's only lost to some of the best prospects & contenders.
