Swick all Figuroa had was the knockdown.  I think LeeRoy won most of the stand up and definitely won the grappling aspect of the round.

Figuroa now trying to get free breaks

@rorshach It's unintentional. It'd be a NC.

Figuroa wants out of the cage with Bruce Leroy.  earlier this round he faked a shot to the groin and Herb told him it was clean and now he is milking the **** outta this one.
