BJ Penn wins the Lightweight title!
BJ had too much technique going on for Stephens. Stephens tried to Tyson the fight, and win with power, but BJ did the technique things, got out of them ways, and got his shots in hard and fast. Sexually, to win, finally, his first ManMMA championship.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
