For what it's worth I played Paladin last night, we had 3 wars. The first fight he won by split decision. Very close fight but ultimately he did more damage and landed a ton of big right hands, I was lucky Werdum has a good chin. I tried to use my reach and kicks but was eating some haymakers in the process lol, was close on the feet, in the clinch, and on the ground with reversals, sub attempts, etc but ultimately he pulled it out.
Second fight was another close one, then late in the 3rd round I countered his right hand with a spinning wheel kick and knocked him down, then was able to finish with GnP.
Third fight was more of the same, very close but eventually I was able to get mount while he was gassed and put him away with strikes.
I hereby declare myself tournament champion.
