It was another excellent main event for WEC, and they've had a few now -- but still I have to honest and admit that I didn't give Mizugaki a round. The first and third were close, though. Actually I found Benavidez/Curran to be closer, but Benavidez's workrate, including those beautiful guard passes in the second round, edged him on my score. This was an excellent show.
