J-Mac vs. Nate-Mar.
A good back and forth fight. I liked it.
Also, it seems like the simulator hates Phoenix, because any time one of his fighters lose, it's from one of these strikes from guard finishes.
and no, that's not a typo, that's HOW dumb this is... AND the stats are shit too. :S MacD was doing WAY more than that. More BS from the simulator. Not pleased. 
Thanks Bullies.
