That was an awesome round! Torres probably deserved it, but the judges will likely give the round to Johnson for ending up on top.

Another amazing round! 10-9 Mighty Mouse. He was on top the whole time, that's all the judges will care about.

Before this fight I didn't like Torres (I really don't find his whole schtick on twitter funny), but he's definitely earned my respect in this fight, as has mighty mouse, who'll take a huge jump up my favorite fighters list after a fight this good.

Damn. 10-10 round in the third if I've ever seen one. Definitely a top 5 FOTY. Anyone else love that fight as much as I did?
