Hiromasa Ougikubo Pushes Back on the “Last 10-Second Brawl."

Hiromasa Ougikubo isn't quite on board with fighters brawling in the final ten seconds.

After a close and competitive fight, which ended with Ougikubo earning a victory over Jose Torres at Super RIZIN.4, he reflected on the final exchanges and the growing expectation — popularized by Max Holloway — for fighters to trade shots to close a bout.
