This was interesting. Shamrock did (and had done) more damage than Sakuraba the entire fight. By about double. Sakuraba had a late burst to get close to evening the damage up. BUT.

This was interesting. Shamrock did (and had done) more damage than Sakuraba the entire fight. By about double. Sakuraba had a late burst to get close to evening the damage up. BUT. Sakuraba controlled Shamrock for about 4.5 of the 5 rounds of this fight. So it became a damage vs. a TONS of control type fight. Interesting mess for the judges to try to score.
