This was a good back and forth one. Shamrock took it early, looked like he was exhausting Johny and that he was going to run away with it (largely due to submission damage, it seemed), but then Hendricks started getting some takedowns and some decent GnP. Then they stood for a while and both men were EXHAUSTED. But Johnny dug a little deeper and landed some GOOD strikes to take over the fight and was dominating it by the very end, ultimately getting the late finish.
