Chapter 217: Chapter 208: The Outcome is Decided! (Third Update)

Five minutes later, the situation in the arena had started to change gradually.

This amount of time was not particularly long, but it felt like an eternity to the senses.

The reason was that the offense and defense of both parties were extremely intense, even if there were no strikes thrown, just in the probing phase, it was very tense. The audience, watching without being able to take their eyes off the action, would feel that these five minutes obviously felt longer than ten in sensory terms.

A round in boxing is three minutes, with six rounds per match; whereas in MMA, a round is five minutes, with non-championship fights lasting three rounds and championship fights lasting five rounds.

So, five minutes could be considered a full round in an MMA fight.

Within these five minutes, through constant probing and counter-moves, both parties had basically figured out each other's strength and fighting habits, and from the looks of it, they were evenly matched!
