People need to see this fight. Absolute greatness, reminded me of the good old days of 2000's MMA. Everyone now only thinks about modern corporate UFC forgetting that there are amazing fights like this outside of it. Respect to both men for giving us this classic.

Joo on kyllä poikkeuksellisen sitkeä kaveri ja leuka terästä. Mutta samaan hengenvetoon täytyy todeta, että suojausta pitäisi alkaa pikaisesti parantamaan tai kohta on jonkinlaista vauriota aivoissa. Nyrkkeilysalilla enemmän treeniä jonkun nyrkkeilyn päälle ymmärtävän valmennuksessa niin hyvä tulee 👍 Samaa vikaa ruotsalaisella, suojaus heikkoa.

[@lassim3111]

@@smilingnik what makes finland nordic? Genetically we are closer to other finno ugrics such as estonians, mordvins and sami. Culturally we are finnic with some germanic influences. Linguistically we are finno ugric not germanic. Only nordic thing is quality of life

[@KappaDaKappa]

@@lassim3111 Politically, culturally & historically tied, plus there are +450k people with Finnish roots living in Sweden and northern parts of Finland belong to the Scandinavian peninsula - I'd say Finland is Nordic, but also could be an isolated culture as well.

[@vili1]

I think 20k for the winner and 10 for loser. So,not that much

[@Micke_K]

They earn 1000-200SEK/game and the guys behind this earn 10k. Last year they got 730-760k in ticket sold and they had to pay out 740k so both behind it got 10k each, so its nothing you can live and have for a living.

[@SaneAO]

Great Fight but the judge for sure should have let Lampinen continue to the 3rd round, it was just 2 seconds out and he was still there.

[@Nenad-ICXC-Shuput-GFAMMA]

The judge?

[@paulwiegand4267]

I think, it eas a food stopping. He had become so much Hard punches and in this Moment HE couldnt defent himself. And so ig was mich better for his health and surely for continuing his career.

[@sugamayne]

The referee doesn't know if its 2 seconds or 5 seconds, if u arent't defending the shots u cant let the guy keep ground and pounding from standing up and hope the bell will ring.

[@SaneAO]

@@sugamayne That's a fair point and I mean it wasnt a bad stoppage at all, but us fans for sure would have loved to see it going to the third round.

[@SilverionX]

In my opinion, a completely correct stoppage. He had already taken years off his life up to that point, no need to take a few more when he was on the ground, unable to defend himself.

[@JariMattiK]

[@AK34EA]

Gustafsson deserved the victory but I believe the stoppage was too soon 2 seconds left on the round. Lampinen had taken a lot of hard shots but still had a chanse with better endurance going to the 3rd round. MMA is not a healthy sport by any means and I understand its probably better for both of them that the fight was stopped. On the otherhand if both fighters want to continue their decision should be respected. They are grown men and they have a freedom to destroy themselves if they want to. With a 3rd round this would have been an even better fight and probably the best fight of their life. An incredible fight nevertheless and respect to both fighters. Those fuckers are made from iron. They are probably shitting bricks and eating steel for breakfast.

[@KoutJim]

what are you talking about bro??? Are you crazy? He was almost dead, from brain damage he see birds....

[@Micke_K]

Bane were a lot better than the lamp, the ref ended it before the lamp got the light extinguished.

[@SilverionX]

The referees job is to make sure the fighters don't take more permanent damage than they have to. Lampinen already took a ton of damage and he wasn't defending himself on the ground, it was a good stoppage. The only thing that would have happened was more brain damage for Lampinen at that point.
