Cody Garbrandt defends the Lightweight title!
Great first round, but Conor slacked a little, and Cody took over at the berry end. He then finished Connor McCorkle in round 2, with relative ease, after a good recovery - and likely PEDs (Performance Enhancing Douchiness).
Really, though, Mike Perry is so much worse. You guys see where he was calling Michael Jai White the N word? Dude, you are white, you don't got the right, bro! Stupid Mike Perry.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
