Shinya Aoki defends the Lightweight title!
Holy shit. I honestly thought this was a complete right-off of a title fight and Aoki would be done in the first 2 minutes. But Aoki brought some ELITE dodging (and so he should, I think I upped the shit out of that stat) and boy did it save his ass in this one. If Fisher landed even half of those 53 attempted punches, Aoki was fooked. (Also, Aoki, why the hell you throwing 43 punches kid??? Takedowns!!!). Anyways, I again I am pleasantly surprised by Shinya's abolity to finally actually hang with the elite of the elite. He has proven to be an actual champion now. Dear #1 Contneder...how is your sub D?
