    Wow thanks for posting that fight. I have to say I voted without seeing it and after watching it I think I am gonna change my vote if thats allowed. Kimura to Armbar and then the escape by Alvarez was intense.

    Yeah the UFC needs more 155ers like those two. There is so much talent out there at 155 that could make that weight class equal to or better than the marquee 205 class.
