A very good fight. The difference maker here was Kimbo's toughness. He is much tougher than Rua, so as these 2 were exchanging in an offense-fest, the effect was much greater on Rua than Kimbo. Once Rua started to crumble, Kimbo swarmed on him and finished with a huge power blameo things.
= x2 (Rua, Liddel(current))
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
