I don't necessarily agree with this, but this shows how much the shitty judges appear to like aggression. Norm's 3 attempts at a takedown and one successful clinch seem to be the difference maker. Stamina played a big factor in there too. Aggression could be beneficial to both guys in the future as well, it seems, based on the judging of this one.

I don't necessarily agree with this, but this shows how much the shitty judges appear to like aggression. Norm's 3 attempts at a takedown and one successful clinch seem to be the difference maker. Stamina played a big factor in there too. Aggression could be beneficial to both guys in the future as well, it seems, based on the judging of this one.
that's every single ML fight now that I've clearly won, and then lost on decision. Just silliness... :
Silliness, I say!
