I totally didn't see that one coming. Royce actually fought like Royce, and exploited Lima's limited sub D (compared to the offence of ROyce). Lima did great standing, and both guys did heavy damage to each other. Neat, though, was that Royce's came from subs and Lima's came from striking (heavy kicks esp). Good fight, even fight, both gents showed the F up and brought their games to the table and tabled it out.
Everyone's a winner. (Except Cannon, he's a wiener 
).

I totally didn't see that one coming. Royce actually fought like Royce, and exploited Lima's limited sub D (compared to the offence of ROyce). Lima did great standing, and both guys did heavy damage to each other. Neat, though, was that Royce's came from subs and Lima's came from striking (heavy kicks esp). Good fight, even fight, both gents showed the F up and brought their games to the table and tabled it out.
Everyone's a winner. (Except Cannon, he's a wiener 
).
