Rashad came in with a good gameplan, and executed. Boring? Yes. But he did what he was supposed to do and got the win. I think the year off, as well as the additional weight cut definitely affected Rampage.
I think that scoring points on takedowns and doing absolutely nothing with it is bullshit, but from a judges standpoint, you really have no choice, you can't award the guy getting taken down for allowing it to happen, so you have to give credit to the person who is imposing their will on the other.
The ending to the Duffee fight was insane! LOL
I thought that Brilz did enough to win, but I was definitely rooting for Little Nog. Some very nice sweeps by Nog in that one.
