I think what ****** Fernando up was when he pushed in for a clinch , his head bounced off of Almeidas head , that's when he pulled him into guard. (Rd2 before the vicious ground and pound)

Cesinha deserves the contract, Almeida moves to the USA and works in his ground game. Really interesting how his career will evolve after this fight

Shocking… full set of contracts. But as Dana explained them, definitely understandable. Good for them.
