Rashad Evans defends the Middleweight title!
Miller did a lot of good things here, making more of a fight out of this than I expected. But he wasn't able to lock in submissions, which is probably his bread and butta, and that was likely his downfall. Evans brought more diversity and got shit done, defending.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
