I think that takedown won Tibau the round and the fight

didn't really see it as tiny advantage, but I guess everyone has their own opinion. How did Tibau not finish him though?

LOL @ the thought of 10-10 rds. MMA judging would be far more screwed up than it is already.

Well RDA was slightly doing better in striking in the 2nd round but that was really it. Then the final minute saw him lose that round.

10-9 to Tibau for that round. I see it 30-27 Tibau.

Probably a SD win for Tibau.  I switched him from decision to 2nd round sub  at the last minute, dammit.

I've got it 30-27 for Gleison Tibau, but I wouldn't argue with 29-28.

This promo for the main card is terrible because of the song but I'll let it pass because I get to see Bisping get knocked out over and over and over. And over.
