@vazio is correct. And like I said, I like Felder, he’s a local guy. That said, he was getting worked in 1 and I was nervous as hell when he decided to play on the ground again in two. Happy he shut me up though.

@ben I'm not watching the american broadcast, but I guess I would've agreed with him on this (even though I don't agree with him very often).

guys, i know that he was close to getting that choke in the first round, but felder was clearly dominant throughout the second, and it was during the second round that rogan made those comments

I got you, Ben. He did own the second and looked more comfortable. Bronx looked tired, Felder is big strong LW. I think Regan was basing his comments on their different levels of BJJ, demonstrated in the first. But yea, bro, 2 Felder was in control and held positions.
