300 The seemingly odd start time (3:00 PM) for Elite XC's June 14th event, Return of the King. The card though, is being held at the Neal Blaisdell Arena in Honolulu, Hawaii putting it in primetime for much of the continental U.S. And the prelims can be seen at Proelite.com.
238 Length (2:38) of bantamweight Mark Oshiro's last fight, a victory over previously undefeated Chris Cariaso. Currently Mark is 10-1 and riding a six fight win streak. The longest fight during the streak was against Cariaso. Now Mark will fight another Chris in 1-1 Chris Willems. It seems a matter of when, not if, for Oshiro against the less experienced man, then again, anything can happen in a fight.
6...and 8 Number of losses (6) with (8) wins and a draw for Mike Aina coming into his match with Kaleo Kwan. Kwan has (6) wins, accompanied by (8) losses. Between them, both men have stopped (8) of their opponents, but you might expect this one to go the distance. Of Aina's losses, (6) have come by decision. Kwan is no stranger to losing by decision either, all (6) of his losses have gone to the cards...and one more for good measure, combined the men have won (6) fights by decision, three a piece.
145 Kala "Kalohe" Hose's last bout stretched all the way until (1:45) of the fifth round, when he was able to put away Phil Baroni by TKO, to claim the ICON Sport middleweight belt. Hose's opponent on Saturday, Geoff Bumstead, is 2-1. Combined, the length of his three fights was well shorter than Hose's last bout alone. Bumstead has not been to a round two yet. If the champ Hose has his way, this one won't make it out of round one either.
