@@Anonymous-km6su violence in my opinion it's when people do things outside the rules. Yes it's a contact sport ofc but I can give you an example where Roy Gracie won the title without throwing a single punch. But like in every aspect in life there are people that are the opposite and want to be violent like Toquinho. But this is only my opinion.

I made money on this win! Styles make fights and Glover was a bad one for Jan. You know what's crazy, is that Pereira is being primed as the third of three generations of fighters to have come out of "The Pit" fight team, and, despite fighting at middleweight, is physically larger than most LHW's. I expect a good last stint stint as champ for Glover and many more years of exciting fights for Pereira!
