Shinya Aoki defends the Lightweight title!
These guys are soooo good. I don't think I can convey how closely matched some of these Aoki fights are (this, Penn, etc). This was sooo even, back and forth exchanges etc. But once Aoki got a dominant ground position with sub-chaining in effect, Hansen just doesn't have the Sub D for that. I doubt anyone does... Aoki is sub grandmaster.
