Crowd keeps booing but this is a tactical fight. Both are landing decent. Both fighters are tacticians so I expected a back and forth fight

IMO @WonderboyMMA wins that fights hands down. 2 takedowns, better strikes, more damage. @ufc

Hard for me to imagine ANYTHING messing with Rory Mac mentally. Dude is stone faced all the time, no matter what

Best rd for both as they trade some serious shots with wonderboy landing the better ones. Rory's face messed up 4-1 wonderboy #UFCOttawa
