Anderson Silva wins the Heavyweight title!
Jones took some early advantages, getting Anderson down, and it looked like it would be more of the same from their last fight. But Anderson was able to squeeze out and get back up, and standing is where he was able to get a lot of his offense going.
With Jones' most recent upgrades, I think he will be right back into the title picture pretty soon.
lol 
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
