Randy Couture vs Ricco Rodriguez

Rnd 1: 10-9 Thomas. Catch a kick and landed a takedown. Controlled half the rnd. Had the mount and landed GnP. Had the back for a while. Uno reversed but didnt do much with it except control the other half. Thomas also got very close with a triangle armbar. Rnd 2: 10-8 Uno. Thomas lost a point. Thomas had a bit of control but pulled guard multiple times after. Uno dominated from full guard landing pretty hard GnP with his punches. Uno also stunned him a bit with a lead right hook on the feet. Controlled the majority of the rnd too. Rnd 3: 10-9 Uno. Controlled almost the entire rnd on the ground. Landed good punches and elbows from full guard. Thomas couldnt stop stupidly pulling guard. Total: 29-27 Caol Uno Resume: Uno showed nice GnP with his punches and elbows. Better grappler overall. Pretty active on the ground. Inactive on the feet but pretty fast hands Thomas showed good hands on the feet. Nice use of his reach. Better striker I think. Stupid gameplan. Instead of disengaging in the clinch he pulled guard against the better grappler. Ok submission game tho. Good defense on the ground. Nice control and pretty agressive in the grappling exchange when hes on top.
