[h=1]Raoni Barcelos edges Khalid Taha[/h]
The difference is the versatility of attacks from Barcelos. Taha isn’t doing anything but boxing. Taha has crisp hands and power but it’s 1-dimensional as we’re seeing. He needs something big here or Barcelos is running away with this clear win. #UFCVegas13
