    Holm might not be the same in the third round.

    There is a fine line between unintentional and reckless.

    Would've liked to see the referee take a point.

    GDR's takedown defence is solid.

    Holy shit, GDR with late shots AGAIN. Two punches after the bell.

    Still just a warning by this referee. I don't know why he's doing the main event.

    Fight is going in a bit of a strange direction. GDR seems to be the better kickboxer. She is resisting Holm's takedowns. But her output isn't high enough. Holm could win the fight by being more active.

    Just as I type that Anik says the same thing.

    Holm continues to engage in grappling against the fence. GDR keeps her stance wide and hand fights her off.

    Seems like the strategy might be to wear GDR down but the fight only has a round left.

    Given tonight's judging this might get weird if it goes the distance.

    What a difference a penalty to GDR might've made.

    Both fighters opt not to throw ANY strikes after the 10-second warning.

    Can't tell if HH hit GDR with a punch or if they clashed heads.

    Anik says it was both.

    This wall-and-brawl is getting old.

    Referee steps in.

    Crowd boos heavily as Holm forces GDR back up against the fence.

    Holly's coaches screaming at her trying to get her to go back to striking. Not listening.

    Feels odd to not have Goldy counting down the timer.

    LOL as I type it Anik announces 40-seconds.

    We'll see what the judges thought of Holm's "cage control" vs. GDR's more effective striking.

    Long delay in announcing the results.

    Cris Cyborg waiting cageside.

    The point deduction would've made the fight a draw.

    Almost prefer just moving on from this one.
