Damien Riccio vs Robin Gracie

[CKD]

Who won this match? I researched this on the internet and found different stories but the only thing I knew for sure was that Damien was bleeding heavily under the eye and Robin Gracie was just gassed out. I assumed it was Gracie that won because there was a lot of conterversy on the match because a person posted that Damien won before any video was released.

So no one has any information on this? Maybe It should move it too Open access and see what people have too say.

Damien won.
Both fighters were exchanging low shin kicks and punches without great power.
It was more like they were circling each other. I think Damien kicks and punches started to hurt Robin. Because Robin tried a takedown but was unsuccesfull. Damien prevented the takedown. Then both fighters were tie-up, Robin had Damien in a closed-guard (which is not too bad when you know how good the barziliand are in the guard). However Damine kept pounding away with punches to the back of the skull and head but. Every time Robin tried to to do a move, Damien will push with his legs and kept pounding. Actually Robin did not do any move even tried a lock or choke or a 'upa' or sweep. He just stayed on a closed guard and put his hand up trying to protect his skull against the crushing blows of Damien (no gloves!!!)
Overall, Disapointing in the point that they were no demonstrations/moves of tehcniques BJJ.

I did some research and it said it was a draw since neither were doing much. So they just stopped but Damien went off and claimed victory for himself. Damien did have a nice cut from a headbutt though.
