Both fighters came out fighting! ...Then stopped. They both worked hard all over the place, but seemingly accomplished nothing, as very, very little damage was done throughout this fight by both parties. With stamina drained by both fighters half way through the 4th round, the last round was all exhaustion. Thus bringing about the undramatic conclusion, with a surprise ending – Couture won one!!!
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
