Jon Jones defends the Heavyweight title!
Arlovski desererately needs a toughness upgrade. If he had some toughness, this would have been a very good fight. Instead, it was a relatively one-sided affair. Like the Tiger Woods thing. Except Jones gets drunk and drives cars into trees. Tiger does it sober.
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
