Close striking match, cowboy had 2 takedowns and bendo had zero, watch the fight instead of following the announcers.

Trevpicks you're one of those guys who puts weight on takedowns that lead to absolutely nothing besides the fighter popping right back up. IMO - more credit should be given to the fighter popping up unless they do something with the takedown you also steer things into what you WANT to believe even when false... good to know

Bendo clearly won the striking - frankly outclassing cowboy - negating ANYTHING cowboy didn't do on the ground.

It was a really close fight, I thought Bendo won, but it was far from a robbery.
