What a huge upset! Mark Coleman is the winner!
Mark Coleman wins the Heavyweight title!
Another absolute war. Coleman's strength was Anderson's weakness, and he exploited it to a tee. Anderson took round 1, with his typical stand up dominance, and stuffed a takedown. But in the 2nd, and pretty much every round thereafter, Coleman took him down and worked the GnP relentlessly. Nice to see a new face on the Championship banner.
Also, I think this is the fastest a new member has won a belt. Coleman's team, @kadri43, has only been here for about 35 days.
Huge.
