Damnit, this is a tournament fight. We can't be havin' no draws guys! In other news, this was an interesting one. Stout was doing well standing, and Aoki was doing damage on the ground with subs. In the end, the final "done damage" numbers were really close (up to the end, they were mostly in Stout's favour). Aoki evened it out right at the end of the fight.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
