Holy shit. Fedor was dominating this fight early, so I figured this fight was over, and began working in another tab. When I came back, Tuivasa had done some HEAVY damage with those punches, and was taking over this fight. He continued to finish up where he started in round 2, and finished off the omg-upset.
wow.
