interesting fight.
Purcell seemed better at every part of the game. Sexton didnt even throw a kick, so purcell was better there, purcell had better hands over all. grappling seemed about even.
But sexton was more agressive, and took the fight to purcell. I can see why is was a split decision, but I agree, when everything else is equal, the winner is the fighter than wanted it more.
Impressive performance by Purcell, who is 8 years older.
