    It's well worth a watch (i deliberately left out spoilers)

    Think of him what you will, Palhares' fights are unmissable. You've never seen a Palhares fight like this one before, guarantee you that

    I gave it to Palhares 29-28. Solid and competitive scrap. Definitely worthy of a rematch.

    That's what I had it. The guy with the McGregor style didn't have the tank to keep up the movement. He also didn't seem to have any power. Palhares came on in the second round, and in the third they were both on empty. Palhares didn't have the energy to pop the guys joint in the third. It looked well past the point of his arm being able to offer muscle resistance. Good scrap though.
