Chuck Liddell defends the Heavyweight title!
Easy fight of the night here. Tank came out epicly strong, doing huge damage. He looked like he was going to take this one easily after round 1, but Chuck came back hard in round 2, evening up the damage, with both men in the red. Then as Tank started getting back into his groove, doing some damage, Chuck upped his game again and got it done.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
