Absollutely un-fucking real. These two ultra-warriors fought for nearly 1 fucking HOUR. Though there were slow moments (understandably, given the length this became), this was a complete stamina-fest. That said, Le did not win BECAUSE of stamina, he just happened to do more damage at the right times, it certainly slowed both men down several times throughout the war. When we started, it was a bit slow, with GSP doing more significant damage, and the fight continued that way, until I believe round 6, when Le REALLY came on strong and turned the fight around. After that, GSP became a bit more cautious, but kept pressing Le. Le pressed back, and the war raged on, back and forth. Round 7, 8 and 9 were close, but still saw Le getting slight advangated here and there. Both men had great between-round recovery to keep this bad boy going. Round after round. Submission attempts, grappling, striking, and just pure fucking heart – this is, without a doubt, one of the best fights ManMMA has ever seen. What an epic, epic brawl. Hall of Fame worthy fight.
