Anderson Silva defends the Middleweight title!
Not gonna lie. I was terrified for this fight. Hardy can catch anyone, and Anderson is no exception. If Anderson lost, it takes a BIG punch out of his leaving the division, and the whole tournament and everything. Hardy landed 3 punches that caused no damage. That hurts when you are a striker.
lol
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
