Match was crazy af.
At about a 1:35 into round 2, I thought the fight could have been stopped, as Edson had nothing left, had gotten the Hel beaten out of him and it was just non-competitive.
Definitely ate crow on that one as we got the best Stanky Leg we've ever seen.
Either way, props to Barbosa. As soon as he sat down in the 5th, I was like "oh, fuck. There's no way a doctor is going to look at that dude and let him fight on". They would probably have lost their practicing license but Edson probably could have fought on and that 5th round was looking pretty good.
Did anyone else reflect on how MMA used to be a see saw between rasslers and BJJ and just how dominant wrestlers have become in the past X amount of years? It's not even close and hasn't been for a long ass time.
