A decent performance by Kyra Gracie today. She read the fight well and wasn't afraid of enganging.
Nice effort tonight from Rin Nakai who was thinking of the fans besides the fight itself.
Nice fight. Those fighters are the people you need for a PPV.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
