Jason Miller did not win this fight. He was not in this fight. Sassy Paul Sass was. And...umm.....Yeah, I got nothing here. Decent fight, Miller won, and....yeah. Not much went on here beyond the numbers I don't believe. I guess the numbers lead you to believe it was total destruction, but it was closer longer than it was unclose. If that makes sense.
