Anthony Johnson defends the Middleweight title!


These bad-ass mu'fuckers went to damage-down on each other, both doing lots of the damages. The numbers show Leben did nothing, but he didn't. I mean, he was not very close to finishing Rumble, but he started the damage-outpouring first, so fans were excited about that burst. But then Rumble in the Nuncle started his thing, and finished Christopher Leben. My record ended before this fight started. That party kinda sucked. But #TITC!!!
