Both of these dudes are dangerous because both have a primary skill set. When they stick to it, they dominate. And early on, they were both stickign to it and having success (Hall on the ground with subs, Barboza with standup and kicks). Over time, Edson grew a bit tired from Hall's takedowns, and Hall was able to have a plethora of success, ultimatly submitting the bloke. Good fight.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
