The result left fans debating what they had witnessed. Then came the rematch. Yi Long showed flashes of dangerous offense, including a head kick and a spinning hammerfist. But Buakaw continued to answer with sharp kicks, knees, and clinch work. When the judges announced the result, Buakaw finally had the victory.
