I saw the first round, and when I saw Alves and Howard exchange before Alves took Howard down, I had two very immediate thoughts:The first thought -- the one that ran through during the first exchange -- was "HOLY S**T! This fight is already my Fight Of The Night candidate!".
I was surprised at how much they exchanged in the opening seconds of the round -- though I saw them both being cautious in the actual opening seconds of the fight.
