@AnAlias  Yeah.  This is the final for a TUF-esque tournament that was called Road To The UFC: Japan.  It had some real well known fighters from Japan's lighter weight divisions in it along with some big name prospects.

I can't remember, how close was the Hirota/Healy fight?  

I vaguely remember Hirota getting robbed.

Not robbed but it was surprisingly competitive consdering the size advantage. 

Damn, Ishihara slowed way down and that was his big advantage in the 1st. He better find a 2nd wind

Hirota's idea of head movement is moving his head straight back to try to avoid the punch. #JMMA

Always sucks having to pick these TUF tournament championship fights, especially when you don't even watch TUF seasons you don't know what to expect from these fighters and their style.
