Dustin Poirier wins the Lightweight title!
This one is a strange one. So based on control (I am assuming) the program (and Hansen's morale/momentum bars) indicated Hansen was dominating this fight. Not like, CLEARLY, but he was definitely winning 3 straight rounds going into this one. But the damage did not indicate that at all. So basically it was like Poirier would punch him, take a ton of his health, so hansen would clinch or take down him, and then beat, dominate, and control for the next 4 minutes basically. This is one of those fights that had it gone to decision, would have been a control vs. damage judgement. Curious to see how it would have gone. But...you know...title fight cuts/swelling and all that....
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
