Jesus Christ. Round 1, ALL Sam Stout. I started to get happy that I would not be getting ANOTHER damned champion...then Benson picks his game up, and evens out the round, making a clear winner no longer evident. In round 2, Benson came out stronger, and just worked Stout until he finished the fight.
I will post this somewhere else as well, but I will be trading Benson Henderson, as I do not want 2 of our 4 ManMMA champions on my team.
