OO this was a good one. Barao landed a really clean 5-punch combo to open the fight and Mendes had a hard time getting back into it after that. But he did, he fought through that and put together some offence that did damage to Barao and made a fight of it. Barao then got some more strike combos going, with some takedowns too, and eventually this bad stoppage came. But an eye is better than a chin cut. Cause damn.
