What a huge upset! Fabricio Werdum is the winner!
Wow. Not too sure about that decision, but the damage done by each man was DEAD EVEN. So despite Nog landing a shit tin of punches, they did almost no damage which is kind of gross. I probably would have given this to him anyways, as he seemed to be doing more more often, but what can ya do. Sub deadlocked each other.
