Close first round probably Barboza edging it out with the more impact strikes.

End of the 2nd is why no upkicks is such a ***** rule that favors longer fighters. Barboza made sure to keep 1 knee touching and was still able to create a lot of distance for g'n'p but it's "illegal for Gilbert to kick him in the face. Ugh. Stupid rule.

What a bad third round to an otherwise great fight.

This fight could be awesome. I picked Shevchenko upset last minute, but I really like Holly. So, I'm hoping I'm wrong here.

Just noticed that Valentina's gym is called "Tiger Muay Thai", which brings me to ask this question: is she training with Sagat?

Why do I love Holly's walk-out song so much. I shouldn't. But I do.
