Mike Russow vs Todd Duffee

Both fighters entered with identical experience levels (2 fights each). On this fight, close to zero experience-based adjustments were applied.

Mike Russow gained a finish with a KO/TKO in round 3, earning finishing bonuses.

Todd Duffee controlled the striking through overwhelming volume (51 vs 15 total strikes), significant strike advantage (51 vs 14).
