Legit as fuck fight here. Pulver came out strong, took some damage, but then absolutely took it to Gomi and it looked certain that Jens fucking Pulver was going to be the one to end Gomi's ridiculous 26+ fight winning streak. Them Gomi went into "Champ" mode, and absolutely took it to Pulver, taking back the fight, and getting the beat-down finish.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
