10th to Andrade. landed a few good shots early and was more effective all around.
both pushed the action equally but vanes less busy than last round

Yeah neither of them seemed like particularly great fighters. Just two good fighters.

116-112 Andrade is my final score.

I wouldn't be surprised if the official judges have it closer, but I feel like Andrade deserves it.

I gave last round to vanes. slightly busier and landed more.
too many even rounds in this one for me to come up with a clear winner.
neither one fought the 12th like they needed it to win the fight.
toward the middle rounds it looked like vanes might be getting tired
but the last few rounds he still was on his toes and fresh

the 117 to 110 for Andrade, especially after the KD in the opening round,
is REALLY wide, even giving him all the close rounds.
the other two scores I almost expected. a few rounds either
way was the way I saw it

I have a feeling Darchinyan will get vengeance.

Then again, I had a pre-fight feeling Dan Henderson would win.. and he nearly got his head kicked off just now.

I had 116-112, I really don't mind scores of 114-113 or 115-112 in Andrade's favor though. Those are reasonable, and I could see it that close.

I definitely thought Andrade was the rightful winner though.

Vitor Belfort is the man. He just KO'd Dan Henderson.

That sucks. I always liked Hendo. Henderson did beat Vitor in Pride once, but Vitor put up a pretty lousy performance at the time. He definitely has had a very up and down career.
