Wanderlei Silva defends the Middleweight title!
Koscheck was ill-prepared for this title fight, which is unfortunate, since Ferocity just spent about 9 points upgrading Hiroko and Leben. Can't help but wonder what may have come of this fight if the had gone...elsewhere (Hint, the guy who is fighting for a belt - hint).
In other news, with this win, Wanderlei Silva breaks the MW record for most consecutive (and total) title defences. Majestically and poetically, his reign of terror began against Josh, where he got his first title defence.
