Carlos Condit defends the Middleweight title!
This loss annoys me simply because Condit started REALLY slow, but Cung Le refused to kick at him. Had he started kicking early in the fight, Condit would have been done. DONE. But he fucked around and lost like a twidiot. Well earned loss, twidiot. haha.
