Johnny Walker wins the Middleweight title!
Johnny Walker was like, "Sup bro, we're teammates". Anderson was like, "Yeah, let's put on a good fight." They did, but no one told Walker he was supposed to lose. Walker kicked the shit out of Anderson for all of the first round, then Anderson, slightly stunned, came into the second round trying to do some epic damage. He did, but Johnny was still pretty with-it and did a lot of his-thing, whcih included upsetting the GoaT.
This is shocking stuff, folks. Even those of us at The Sandmen, who actually had a hand in training Walker.
