That first round of Garcia/Massouh was great. After that it was pretty sucky. Good to see Bad Boy get back to winning ways.

Damn, Curran was close with that choke at the end. I think Mizugaki takes it on the scorecards.

How did Mizugaki survive that choke? Fucker has some heart and then some. I'll go with Mizugaki 2 rounds to 1.

Yeah that was some crazy ****. It reminds my of the first time a Japanese friend showed me some taped fights from Japan. Fuckers were getting brutally arm barred and refusing to tap. Guys were crawling, seemingly incoherently, on the ground and getting soccer kicked. The **** blew my mind at the time.
