    Had no clue this happened. Won't spoil the result for any that are interested.

    Some background

    - Both men 41 when this took place
    - Bonjasky up 3-0 in their series
    - Bonjasky enters the match on a 1-3 run not having fought since his controversial win in a rematch with Cro Cop back in 2014. The last W he picked up prior to that was the Belgian Filip Verlinden all the way back in 2012.
    - Manhoef enters the match on an 0-7 skid(starting with Bonjasky III back in 2009) as well as an 0-2 run in MMA(one loss being a highly contentious decision to the current Bellator MW champion)

    Disagree with the decision completely. Thought Bonjasky won 1 and 3 clearly. The ref also did a very poor job not penalizing Manhoef for his illegal throws and rough house tactics in general.

    Clearly no drug testing was being done.

    Manhoef chin and age aside still appears to be a capable fighter. So I wouldn't doubt it. He was shafted against Rafael Carvalho

    One of my favourite fighters ever but no doubt he's juiced to the gills.
