Cody Garbrandt defends the Lightweight title!
This was a dead-even fight, then my brain was like, "Nice, Cody is going to lose. He is douchey!" Then my brain was like, "Okay, but is Eddie Wineland really worth being a champ on here?" Then as soon as I thought that, Cody went totally ape-shot on Eddie, and destroyed him for the win.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
