Flash finish. Both men had good health, so I'm not sure where this would have gone had it kept going. But a finish is about as definitive a statement as one can make, so Smith was all, "Screw you, Royce Gracie! That'll teach your team to not be around for 2 real life months!" To which Royce had no reply, as his team had not been around in 2 real life months.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
