ANALYSIS
This one looked like it was going to be over early. Honorio landed some hard strikes right at the start and nearly finished Sholinian. However, he survived and the fight continued. Despite surviving, Honorio was the much more skilled fighter. He dominated in the striking battle as well as the grappling exchanges. Sholinian was game, but it was clear who the winner was after three rounds of fighting.
