Flash KO. No one saw that coming that coming, least of all Aoki. Now, not that we didn't expect Guillard to win. We just didn't necessarily expect a KO from strikes from inside the Guard. But odds are at least one member will claim he knew this was coming, because after the fact this unnamed member ALWAYS knew. Always. Just like cardboard.
