And there goes my $100! What an upset! Chael Sonnen is the winner!
Chael was effective with the GnP (very), but he grew tired as Royce is tough. Royce also has a ton more stamina than Chael and had a great chance to come back in the 3rd (or 2nd, I forget things...). He was unable to take advantage at that time.
See, this is exactly the shit I was talking to you about on text last night man. What's distasteful is your behavior in this instance, turning a blind eye to this crap that other people are doing, and your condoning of others in perpetuating it... then blaming me for something I didn't do. but hey, it doesn't exist according to you, right? Then you wonder why I'm caring less and less about things around here... I don't find this shit amusing at all. 
Have 9 points in celebration of this monumental achievement!
