Great round...tough to call. Nah-shon def. hurt him but Villefort was winning on the ground. I'll say a bias 10-9 Burell.

Villefort should stick to his strength, the ground. Keep going for submissions, if he stays standing he will lose.

If Villefort wants to win he needs to take him down.

Villefort is fighting like an idiot. I'm not even saying that just because I picked him, he isn't going to beat Burrel on the feet.

He should keep doing that, not even go for subs, control him for a round.
