When fight fans talk about leaving it all in the octagon, they usually speak figuratively. But at UFC 308, Myktybek Orolbai and Mateusz Rebecki took that saying quite literally, turning the canvas into something that looked like an abstract expressionist painting. The catchweight clash between these two warriors delivered the kind of heart-stopping action that reminds fans why they love this sport.
The opening round set the tone with Rebecki’s sharp boxing drawing first blood. Orolbai’s left eye began showing the effects of those precise strikes. The doctor had to check his eye before letting him continue. The second round saw the fighter from Kyrgystan flip the script entirely, channeling his inner warrior as he unleashed a barrage of elbows and punches. Rebecki suffered a deep cut above the eye that had blood leaking all over the canvas.
By the third round, both men were soaked in blood. In a moment that had everyone’s jaws dropping, Rebecki landed two thunderous punches that sent Orolbai crashing to the canvas. The follow-up ground and pound turned the octagon into something out of a horror movie. But Orolbai displayed the kind of toughness that made fans question human pain thresholds as he not only survived but managed to reverse position.
When the final bell rang, both warriors earned every penny of their Fight of the Night bonus before it was even announced. The split decision victory went to Rebecki (28-29, 29-28, 29-28), but in a fight like this, there were no losers. They both gained respect from each other as well as from the fans watching around the world!
