3️⃣ There will be a Ryota Murata vs Rob Brant trilogy as Brant has triggered his rematch clause in the contract for their second fight, according to his co-promoter Greg Cohen. Brant first beat Murata on points, but was then knocked out second time around. [@ESPN]

Murata vs Brant III

I ain't got around to watching this fight yet. Wtf happened to Brant here to get wacked in 2?
And again even if Brant won the 1st fight I still hate an immediate rematch when you got blasted in your most recent fight to the same guy. -
Tbh I think it went the exact same but a hugely different outcome lol.Comment

I feel like Brant is jumping into this too soon. Didn't Murata wait a bit before using his rematch clause? I assume Murata studied the Brant fight and figured out what went wrong and then activated his rematch clause.Comment

This is the only fight out there for Brant. He doesn't have some big promoter behind him with a TV contract to milk.
I don't think the third fight will look like the first two, honestly. Brant came in wayyyy too confident and wanted to trade with Murata when Murata came out aggressive, which was a suicide move. The most nail-biting moments in the first fight came is when Brant stayed in the pocket and briefly traded with Murata. He needs to put his balls in his pocket and focus on boxing in the third fight.Comment
