WOW! Evans was totally winning this whole fight up to that stoppage. Overall, he inflicted more damage (not much more by the end, but more none the less). Brock was at about 25% health pretty much after the first minute of the fight. In the 3rd round, he started to get back into the fight, but Rashad still had the upper hand throughout. Sometimes a couple well-placed shots can stop a fight. Gotta love MMA.
