Another great fight. This card's been full of 'em. Very impressed. These 2 gents went to war, and put on a hell of a back and forth show in the process.
I don't feel either man really controlled the fight, perhaps except at the VERY end, just as Chandler was closing things out. Another good set of upgrades from Rocketmen, and another legitimized fighter. He's getting good at this 
= x2 (Rua, Liddel(current))
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
