It was an interesting 1st round. Leben got the better of the striking, Akiyama got the better of the grappling, but neither dominated. I scored it a draw.
I gave a close 2nd round to Leben.
How awesome that Lebel submitted Akiyama!
A Lebel/Wanderlei fight sounds great, but I suspect Lebel will finish Wanderlei quickly.
R:2 A:4 S:4 T:3+
One of the best fights ever
