Michael Chandler wins the Lightweight title!
Chandler came out with a wrestling plan and executed it perfectly right from the start. He came out, took Hansen down and GnP'ed Hansen into a position of "Holy shit, I need to get my game together, I am getting my ass kicked here" He did much better to start the second, but then Chandler landed the takedown again and resumed where he left off before. Wrestlers are taking over ManMMA at an alarming rate. And in other news, it's nice to get another fresh face on the Champions banner.
for variety, and congrats on The Rocketmen for another top-to-bottom legitimification of a previously poor fighter. Well done.
