Ito fought a lot better than Diaz on the inside as well. They're both super tough. Diaz nailed him many times flush, but Ito can sure take a punch.

All credit to Ito, the new champion.
I think we all underestimated Ito, except Fenster. Great pick by him.

Diaz has a bit to work on but both guys increased their status with this fight.
