Spencer Fisher defends the Lightweight title!
A war! Diego came to fight, and fought pretty well. If he was fighting any other monster in the division aside from Fisher that is. Fisher is a stand-up machine now. Incredibly well-oiled, and just elite. Diego is one of the toughest guys on the site, and dished out a lot of damage, but once Fisher got the puch flow going, Diego napped. The human brain cannot withstand 51 punches to the skull and remain conscious, it seems.
