On Saturday night, Sin City Fight Club presented “Showdown at Center Stage,” an evening of cage-fighting. The main event was the most violent of the night — a match between 34-year-old Dymond Jones and 22-year-old Clint Hester.
While the amateur fights during the evening featured offense and defense, the Hester vs. Jones fight was more like offense and offense, with both fighters meeting in a flurry of punches. Jones — twelve years older and twenty pounds lighter — got the worst of it, at one point finding himself on the delivery end of several punches to the head while pinned to the floor. Hester knocked out Jones with 30 seconds left in the second round. “He hit damn hard,” said Jones, when reached by phone on Monday. “He got big ass hands.”

“You always think right when you get into the ring, ‘What am I here for again?’ You do it because you want to, but you know someone’s gonna do harm to you,” Jones said, still nursing a minor concussion two days after the fight. “I am thinking about retiring,” he added, “but you don’t want to retire after a loss.”
