Triller’s new Triad Combat event is off to an eventful start. Fans and experts alike were eager to see how the new ring and rules for the fights would work out. Triller is the one that came up with the idea of Triad Combat, and for their first-ever card, they decided to make it a boxing vs MMA affair. Their new ring and rules ensure that both MMA fighters and boxers get to fight on a level playing field.

During the opening bout, Harry Gigliotti took on Jacob Thrall for a scheduled five-round featherweight bout. In just the second round of the fight, the bout took a bit of a comedic turn when Jacob Thrall fell out of the ring and almost had a nasty fall to the floor. The ring is at an elevated height, so when Thrall fell out of the ring, he almost fell to the floor in an awkward body position.

However, the stewards and commentators ringside, along with the referee, held on to Thrall as he lay on his back on the side of the ring. Thrall immediately got back into the ring as his opponent apologized. After the incident, the fight went on as usual, with boxer and mixed martial artist trading blows across five rounds. In the end, Thrall lost the fight via split decision.

Rampage Jackson and Shannon Briggs agree to fight u

Shannon ‘The Cannon’ Briggs and Rampage Jackson were the two leaders and representatives of team boxing and Team MMA, respectively. Although the two were not going to face each other in the triad ring on fight night, on most occasions, the back and forth between the two probably helped sell the fight more than the actual fighters.

Throughout the build-up to this fight, both former fighters went head to head, trash-talking each other and almost coming to blows on certain occasions. After all the fights got over, Briggs and Jackson agreed to a fight on stage. When Nick Cannon asked the pair if they both would fight each other in the ring, both fighters agreed.
