Murilo Bustamante vs Matt Lindland

Rnd 1: 10-9 Bustamante. Lindland initiates the clinch and control a bit landing knees to the body but Bustamante reverses and trips him down. Controls him for a while and gets the armbar but McCarthy makes the worst call ever after a tap and they start fighting again. Lindland controls the clinch most of the rest of the rnd. Rnd 2: 10-9 Bustamante, Close rnd. Landed a takedown. Landed the better punches on the feet. Lindland landed some good knees to the body in the clinch. Had some control time cause Bustamante pulled guard a lot. Rnd 3: Bustamante lands a huge right hand and drops Lindland Baddd. Tries finishing the fight with GnP but Lindlands surviving and trying to get up but Bustamante catches the guillotine Resume: Bustamante showed some pretty good boxing. Heavy Hands. Good wrestling especially defensively. Superior JiuJitsu. Seemed to have problems in the clinch but adjusted by pulling guard and disengaging. Lindland showed some nice knees in the clinch. Initiated it a lot too. Lacks a lot in the striking. Not doing much anyway.
