El Cucuy is a bad muthafu*ka.
Bad to the bone he has to much skills.
I knew it’d be over as soon as Lee started slowing down.
finally the lightweight division got a real champion … but still Tony was getting tagged pretty much … he has a great chin .. still he needs to focus on his defense as well …
