The first 3-4 rounds of this were just as close and back-and-forth as the previous fight. But then someone reminded Penn of the result in the previous fight, and, knowing his Montreal history, he had no intention of having a Bret Moment, and went for the definitive finish. No judges needed this time. But damn these guys are closely matched.
