Joachim Hansen wins the Lightweight title!
Wow. I kinda thought Hansen was done with being a Champ, but he came to fight here. So did Fisher. These two always go to war in beauty, unpredictable fights. Fisher was evasive in the stand-up and definitely had the advantage over Hansen there, so Hansen had ot resort to his unmatched well-roundedness to try to eek out a win here. And that he did. With clinches, takedowns, and effective ground work, he wore down the dominant champion to regain the Lightweight Championship.
