Brian Stann trying to play down that eye poke saying Larkin was off balance but that was a little deep for someone trying to get their balance.

Pretty bad poke there. 

10-9 Masvidal. Hopefully that doesn't affect the outcome.

Hmm I feel like this last round may determine the winner, but Masvidal may have edged out the last round

I've got it 1 round a piece, I feel like Larkin is landing the better kicks and punches but Masvidal is pressuring more and commanding the center. Masvidal has that Ben Henderson syndrome where every fight is close and he feels he won by a country mile everytime regardless.

3rd round was Masvidal's. The decision could go either way.
