I wouldn't go so far as to call it boring, but it's off to a slow start

Based on the end of the round, both seem to have their timing down so I expect more output.

My buying history of PPVs involves:

Silva / Okami which was if I remember a Kickboxing card with not one fight going to the ground.

GSP / Somedude where GSP won the first two rounds then got poked in the eye and lay on top of a dude for the rest of the match. (Although, to be fair there was that fight with the golf ball on the guys face and the crazy suplexes so it wasn't so bad)

Half the UFC roster doesn't use Jabs or kicks for poo poo.

"Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday."

Marquardt should retire. He's not getting any better.

They just don't set up really well and get owned by wrestlers.Which is a shame because they are really damaging and like half the time fighters forgo opportunities to hit them even when they are in the right distance.

I actually asked that before the start of the 2nd round, which was definitely more interesting than the first.
