Ouch. This was no flash KO, Rua took his time and did a lot of his thing(s). I really, really thought Brock would land the takedown and control this one quite beefily. But if I have learned anything in the past year of ManMMA history, it is literally, never, EVER doubt a Bullies fighter. Huge win for Rua.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
