Holy hell.This fight got really exciting around the end of the 3rd round. Rin was BADLY hurt, but Kobold had NOTHING left. Rin recovered SLIGHTLY between rounds, and Kobold got SOME stamina back, but not much. Both fighters struggled through round 4, trying desparately to keep going, but both on the verge of death. Finally, the last spurt of life went out if Rin early round 5, from the notable stamina recovery between round for Kobold. No lay and pray for Kobold here, who was getting a reputation in ManMMA for such. This was a good fight. Rin has RIDICULOUS KO resistance, it seems, as she absorbed more than most men do on this site.
