Nice effort tonight from Tank Abbott who was thinking of the fans besides the fight itself.
What a dull and boring fighter GSP was today. He needs to improve his performance if he wants the fans cheer for him. (26 points)
A fight that put some of us on our feet occasionally. It could have been more exciting though.
