This was a really good fight, with another disappointing finish. Anderson has absolutely no answer for wrestling - just like in real life. He got dominated after being taken down. But Tito wasn't able to get quite as much damage as he would have liked. Then when they were standing, Anderson got back into the fight...and then Tito broke.
