Check out Tim Burke’s play-by-play of the fifth round of Paul Felder vs. Rafael Dos Anjos.
Round 5 – Dos Anjos backs Felder to the fence, and eventually takes him down. RDA works from half, and probably could pass to side but is just working on control. Felder spins eventually but still can’t get up. He’s a bloody mess. Dos Anjos lands a few hard knees to the body. Felder gets up, but RDA still has a body lock. He transitions to the legs and takes Felder down again. There’s no getting up.
Official result: Rafael Dos Anjos def. Paul Felder by split decision (47-48, 50-45, 50-45)
