"I honestly thought it would be over within the first round and you know, when we got to the end of the first round, I thought, ‘Oh my God, this thing's going to go all three rounds.'"https://twitter.com/joerogan/status/700899769967837184?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
The lack of action on the canvas meant that there were a lot of standups, which is not something fans are used to seeing in a fight in such a big promotion. McCarthy explained that there was nothing he could do but get the fight back standing at certain points.

The find ended on a sour note with the revelation that Dada 5000 went into critical condition in hospital after being knocked out by Slice. While McCarthy obviously doesn't wish such a fate on the fighter, he argued it was his job to call what he was seeing in front of him.
