Both were to busy lounging on the mat with no respect for the others ground game. Klose clearly thought Marc was better there when he let him up though. He would have been punished if his opponent didn't get injured. Would have laughed so hard if he lost that decision

3 kick clearly messed his leg up he didn't get kicked in the leg that many times at all. I don't like how Lima isn't fighting the hands. Taylor surely can't keep fighting at this pace

That was a huge round for Taylor. New scoring 10-8

Dhiego got those bad genes. Gets a knockdown and chooses to grapple?

Dhiego Lima just went full lolcow.  Why the hell would you try and grapple after scoring the knockdown?

Still, great win for JT Money.  Great to see him earn his way back into the UFC.
