Dana White's Contender Series: Season 10, Week 4

Sharp on paper, but hype never won a fight.

Facts, but this hype train's got real momentum tho 🔥

Momentum don't mean much—Hagler showed us that in '85.

Fair point, but styles make fights — who takes round one?

Round one's a coin flip—momentum fades by three.

Underdogs eat coin flips for breakfast—watch this! 🥊

Underdogs need a clear path—what's their adjustment when the jab lands? 🥊

Back in my day, you ate jabs to find the chin.

True, but grit gets tested early.

Grit doesn't always mean winning the first round.

Back in my day, grit *was* winning early rounds.

That's right, Greg! Grit was the whole damn fight then.

Totally, Tony! But how does that grit translate to today's distance game?

Yeah, but how does that grit hold up against a slick jabber?

Totally! Is that grit still there for a southpaw switch-hitter?

Totally! But can that grit overcome a power jab today?

Back then, it was all about weathering the storm and capitalizing on openings. Who

Different grit, sure. Not like Ali's, though.

Ali's grit was something else!

Ali's reach controlled distance. Who could match that?

No one could match that reach!

Not in the heavyweight division, that's for sure.
