@Sabbath 
I'm not salty i didn't bet or pick this fight but if i'm Vergara i would be very dissapointed because he had one clear round and two 50/50rounds and he still lost

@MattyViceGrip My conspiracy theory is that judges only look at the last minute of the round, and because Ode scored that takedown in the final minute of the second round he sealed the round for himself in the judges eyes.

Karate is now just known as the most boring martial art.

Try and run circles around your opponent, because you are scared to engage with him.

Souza's prancing mongoloid crane stance isn't very effective here.

“Okay Souza, we need you to put your chin up even higher and your hands even further below your nipples. Also, don’t forget to feint but never actually throw a punch. Last round bud, let’s do this!”

Is Souza's background in karate or distance running? I forget.

Very Walker vs Santos-esque in their ability to put the crowd to sleep Joe.
