Quinton Jackson wins the Heavyweight title!
Rampage would NOT let Cro Cop's kicks land, and he totes earned the win as a result. You make Cro Cop 0/10 with those lethal shot-gun legs, you earned your stripes, boyo. Rampage dominated the now-former champion with heavy boxing, instead of heavy breathing, and now Cro Cop thinks he is in a penguin's toenail. On Mars. In the year 2093. As a unicorn. With fins. And a hat.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
