Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira defends the SuperFight title!
At first, Nog was having a very hard time with the unpolished Dan Henderson, which does not say much for the potential for longevity of his SF title reign. But he dominated Dan after the second round, and showed why he is champ. He will need to get his shit together earlier in fights if he wants to hold that belt.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
