Nakamoto got completely shredded. As one would expect from a rookie fighting a heavily upgraded ManMMA vet.

It think it came down to who got off their game first... Nakamoto's more than capable of KO'ing Carmouche.

[The Sandmen]

In a way, but in another way, Liz has so many upgrades at this point, she probably could have survived that with relative ease and powered through. There is a spread between rookies and upgraded peeps for sure.

Caramouche just made Nakamoto back peddle the entire fight... and if your running backwards in a fight, it isn't good for you.

This I can agree with for sure.

My brother once ran away in a fight. He won second place in a track meet two years ago.
