This is the longest 15 minute fight I've ever seen...Figueroa should not be fighting still. I think his corner should have advised him to not continue after the second low blow.

Wow Edwin's really gotta improve his ground game. I know a lot of white belts that could've subbed him by now.

Poor Figueroa was never the same after those kicks to the balls.

U gotta call that one a draw or a Figueroa win, you guys got to remember Edwin dropped him and almost had him finished in the first. Hell if Mazzagati was the ref it would have been stopped in the 1st when Caceres was out of it.
