khalidov didn`t get it done,but everyone else people liked on the card did including doggie hishino over denis......
we didn`t consider the scoring differences in japan...sounds like santiago was on his back for a good portion of the fight but tried some subs....that probably would have meant a loss in the states the way they score takedowns...
""In the main event of the night, Jorge Santiago laid his middleweight title on the line in a rematch against Mamed Khalidov. In their first encounter last November, Khalidov staged a shocking upset, catching Santiago off guard with a hammer fist off his back. This time, Santiago cautiously fought off wild strikes from Khalidov and secured kimura toward the end of the first round. He stayed busily from his guard in the second round, almost wrenching Khalidov's arm off with omoplata.
While Khalidov gained momentum in the third round with relentless attack from the top, Santiago persisted with submission attempts. Khalidov started to fade in the fourth round and while Santiago could not finish the tough KSW veteran, he cruised to unanimous decision victory. The judges awarded him 48-47, 48-47, and 49-47 on the score card.""
